Protesters countered the Hindu fascist displays at NYC’s India Day Parade on Sunday. Protesters followed the Ram Mandir float, passed out info to people, put up radical artwork along the parade route, & displayed a banner saying “Inquilab Zindabad” (“Long live the revolution!”).

Protesters chanted & spray painted “Azadi!” (“Freedom!”) along the parade route, spoke up for oppressed groups victimized by Hindu fascist violence in India & the US, & also waved Palestine flags while denouncing the Hindu fascist support of Israel.

The NYC Police Foundation (a group of rich plutocrats who funnel money to NYPD) is holding a gala today. So far there’s a small group of protesters & an army of NYPD cops putting up barricades everywhere. Cops are making the protesters go almost a block away from the entrance.
On the way to this protest, I spotted NYPD Sgt Ahmed Abdalla (badge #: 2823) in uniform talking on the phone & smoking a cigarette. You can see him trying to hide it. That definitely goes against the NYPD Patrol Guide. Will he get disciplined for this? Let’s see. But I doubt it.

I just got to Brooklyn Museum where pro-Palestine have made a stop during a march. Lots of NYPD cops in helmets & batons here to surveil and repress the protest. Protesters just dropped a banner saying “Free Palestine, Divest from genocide” from the top of the museum.
The connection sucks for me around here so my tweets are posting late. Lots of arrests though. Protesters are still outside Brooklyn Museum.
I’ll post more videos later when I’m somewhere with a better connection. Pro-Palestine protesters are still outside Brooklyn Museum. An army of NYPD cops are still here along with drones & a helicopter. Lots of brutal arrests today both inside & outside the museum.

I just got to the Gaza Solidarity Encampment at NYU. Looks like cops put up barricades around the encampment. People are here outside the barricades to show solidarity with the students. NYU students demand that NYU divest from Israel, close NYU Tel Aviv, & get cops off campus.

“Over 40,000 dead!
NYU your hands are red!”

Anarchists in NYC redecorated multiple Chase banks near Wall Street yesterday for its investments in Israeli weapons company Elbit Systems.

“Funder of genocide”, “Drop Elbit”, & “Free Gaza” were written in blood red paint, & the doors were chained & sealed shut with spray foam.

Chase Bank is the 6th largest stockholder in Elbit Systems. Even though NYPD tried to quickly take off the chains & foam & open the doors, much of the blood red paint still remains.

Here’s some more pics that were sent to me:
