Despite the prolonged, violent attack on UCLA students by masked pro-Israel vigilantes, the Palestine solidarity encampment stayed intact with students repelling the continuous onslaught as they defiantly chanted “we’re not leaving” & “Free Palestine.” 🧵

In case you didn't know, Energy Transfer (which partially owns the Dakota Access Pipeline) has been trying to subpoena Unicorn Riot since March 2021.
This 🧵thread🧵 will summarize our ongoing legal battle and explain ways you can support us.

Minneapolis - Around 1:45 pm as pro-Palestine demonstrators held a 'die-in' at Lyndale/Hennepin, an alleged counter-protester drove into the crowd, possibly firing a a gun or firecracker while driving away.
Our drone footage paired w/ audio from on the ground shows the incident:
There were about 1000-2000 people at the rally before this happened. Chants heard included "Free Palestine", and "Up with Palestine, down with occupation", calling an end to the Israeli occupation and "genocide" of the Palestinian people.
Correction: the car incident in the first tweet took place around 3:45pm central time, we regret the error
6 yrs ago on Aug. 11, 2017, UVA & Charlottesville Police allowed 100s of neo-nazis with torches to trap & brutalize students holding an anti-racist rally.
It was a prelude to the #UniteTheRight rally which killed local activist Heather Heyer the next day: https://t.co/MaT8Z5p7psunicornriot.ninja/2017/white-sup…
The premeditated attack at UVA was planned over Discord chats obtained & leaked by Unicorn Riot.
Message logs proved various "alt-right" groups and leaders sought violence to engage in racial intimidation & usher in a genocidal fascist street movement: https://t.co/cgfSJvfCBrunicornriot.ninja/2017/charlotte…
Discord chats & texts/emails divulged in court showed wannabe-fuhrers like Richard Spencer, Matt Heimbach, Nate Damigo & Brad Griffin helped incite the mob - this evidence was part of a suit that hit them w/ millions in damages for civil rights violations: unicornriot.ninja/2021/jury-26m-…
