The lessons learned from the 2020 BLM-Antifa riots are being used in the current CHAZ-style occupations for Palestine by far-left extremists at @Columbia, @Yale & @UMich. For example, they're using @Venmo, @gofundme, @givebutter to raise unaccountable cash donations for supplies, bail, legal support and who knows what else. Meanwhile, supporters of the occupations are expressing open support for Hamas terrorism on counter-protesters as well as on civilians in Israel.

Fundraising platform @givebutter blocks me after I report about them being used frequently by far-left extremists for unaccountable campaigns.

At the @UMich far-left extremist CHAZ-style occupation for Palestine, the militants are distributing extremist texts. Pamphlets and booklets serve as one of the main ways for Antifa and far-left extremists to spread propaganda, radicalize people and attract potential new recruits. The texts at the U Mich occupation call for terrorism and the destruction of America and Israel. Photos by Josh Brown.

Violent extremist group @PplsCityCouncil is using @X to fundraise on @Venmo for their Palestine occupation at @USC. The same group was involved in organizing far-left riots in 2020 and has expressed a desire to help people who try to kill law enforcement. Their members have also confronted an elected politician (@kdeleon) and assaulted him. Despite their extremism, the group has not been censured by @Support.

@PplsCityCouncil @X Followers of @PplsCityCouncil are urging deadly violence against law enforcement as they respond to the CHAZ-style Gaza encampment at @USC.

Two associate African studies professors are defying @UTAustin's refusal to let extremists take over its campus. Ashanté Reese and Ashley Farmer are urging reinforcements to come and are raising funds for the extremists using @Venmo. As during the BLM-Antifa riots in 2020, @VenmoSupport does not require transparency from extremist groups raising cash on their platform.

Atlanta far-left violent extremists are calling for an "insurrection" against the U.S. for Gaza:

Four Boston officers were injured, one seriously, when they responded to the violent Gaza occupation at @EmersonCollege early on April 25:

American extremists are waving the flag of Shia Muslim terrorist group Hezbollah at their protests and occupations for Gaza, even earning notice & praise from Iran’s Supreme Leader. Since Oct. 7, we’ve also witnessed numerous other times protesters have displayed Hamas flags at their rallies.

PR is tightly controlled at the pro-Gaza occupations across the U.S. Only media expected to write or make positive propaganda is allowed in and access to the occupiers.

Some of the same people who organized the BLM-Antifa riots in 2020 in Portland, Ore. are now organizing the occupation at @Portland_State.

Some of the Gaza encampment organizing is being done on @telegram, where messaging and directives can be tightly controlled. The militant encampment at @NorthwesternU for example, is organizing on there.
