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.

A group called the Transit Liberation Front smashed 10 OMNY machines in subway stations across NYC in response to a call from Black revolutionaries in Atlanta calling for a summer of resistance against the US & Israel's colonial/state violence & surveillance. The photo was sent to me anonymously.

Here's the communique:

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 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.





NYPD cop Anthony Smith (badge #: 23039) is here spying on protesters outside of NYU’s Gaza Solidarity Encampment.

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:

Three Nationwide Insurance locations in NY were redecorated with red paint & #StopCopCity art & had their doors spray foamed shut today by autonomous community members who demanded that Nationwide cut ties with the Atlanta Police Foundation & cease insuring the Cop City Project. The video was sent to me anonymously.

Here's the communique:

An anti-imperialist anti-colonialist actionist group in NYC dropped a banner reading "Gaza" & "فلسطين " in blood red letters from the highest level of the George Washington Bridge on Monday.

"We won’t stop until they stop, until Palestine and all of our people are free."





The group locked the banner with 4 locks for every letter in GAZA & then threw the keys into the Hudson River.

"For the first time in the bridge's colonial history, a banner and the Palestinian flag waved for the cars that crossed the lower deck of the bridge."

NYPD Lt. Ben Kurian, one of the 2 cops who harassed & attacked migrant men in Times Square, once brutalized off-duty cop Larry Jackson & choked him w/ a baton.

The lawsuit cost NYC $5million.

Kurian was never disciplined for it. Instead, he was promoted. nbcnewyork.com/news/local/cop… "According to a federal civil rights complaint, Lt. Ben Kurian, the cop seen on bodycam video wrestling with a migrant who was resisting arrest on a Times Square sidewalk, was once part of a group of officers accused of beating and choking a man in his own home back in 2011."

#FreePalestine protesters marched in NYC yesterday for a #MLKDay March for Healthcare with stops at the United Nations HQ, Gracie Mansion, & medical institutions that have punished pro-Palestine healthcare workers. NYPD surveilled & repressed the march & made one brutal arrest.





#FreePalestine protesters marched in NYC yesterday for a #MLKDay March for Healthcare. There was a gaggle of pro-Israel (& pro-NYPD of course) trolls at Union Square where protesters were rallying. Lots of cops surrounded them to guard them. Protesters heckled the trolls.

Pret A Manger recently said they’re opening 40+ stores in Israel. So on January 12, multiple groups went into NYC Pret A Manger stores, liberated shelves full of sandwiches, & redistributed them to people in need.

“Hit ‘em where it hurts, and don’t stop until Palestine is free!” Here’s their communique:

There's A LOT of BS & copaganda in this article, but one good thing in it is that NYPD cops both young & old say that all the protests have been physically wearing them out & making them want to quit or go be cops somewhere else.

So keep the protests going!

The fascist NY Post is just doing copaganda for the fascist NY cop union. They're crying over cops resigning & retiring when NYPD has long had a huge headcount & needs to actively FIRE more cops. NYPD is literally larger than the next 3 big city police departments COMBINED.

Legal Aid Society released lists naming the 10 NYPD cops with the most lawsuits filed against them over the last decade & the 10 involved in the highest legal settlements.

All the cops named are still working as cops, & many have even been promoted. nydailynews.com/2023/09/25/rep… "One NYPD cop was part of a foot chase that left a 17-year-old boy paralyzed and cost the city $12 million but remains on the job. A second, known as “Bullethead,” has been sued 48 times costing taxpayers more than $1 million but was promoted anyway."

NYC's useless, pro-cop Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB) will now let NYPD cops accused of misconduct to watch all video that could come up before being questioned by CCRB investigators. This will basically help cops avoid getting caught lying. gothamist.com/news/nypd-offi… "Officers are already able to view police body camera footage before their interviews with the Civilian Complaint Review Board, which investigates allegations of excessive force, offensive language, racial profiling and several other types of misconduct."

This NY Post article's headline claims "Injuries on NYPD officers up 32%" & almost all of the article whines about cops' injuries.

But buried deep in the article the NY Post admits "Injuries to subjects, at the hands of the NYPD, also saw a 38% hike this year compared to last." Keep in mind that the bar for what constitutes an injury for cops is likely very low (they often go to hospitals for ringing ears after they shoot someone!) while the bar for what constitutes an injury for civilians is likely much higher too.

An unknown person in the Bronx allegedly fired a few shots at NYPD cops.

No one was hit, but the cops lied & still sent out an "officer down" alert.

Despite NYPD bringing out a helicopter, the person still eluded capture by the cops. news.yahoo.com/bronx-gunman-g… "An unknown shooter got off several rounds at police officers in the Bronx on Friday night — but no one was hit, and the suspect vanished.

Gunfire erupted around 7:40 p.m. near the corner of Vyse Ave. and E. 174th St. in East Morrisania, said police and a witness."

Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid, one of fascist former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro's closest aides who also allegedly faked Bolsonaro's COVID-19 vaccination card, had plans for a military coup on his seized cell phone. reuters.com/world/americas… "One of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro's closest aides sought legal advice for a military intervention that would have prevented the handover of power following last October's election, federal police said on Friday."

Eric Adams' bigoted, right-wing hustler-preacher buddy Fernando Cabrera is stepping down as Adams' senior spiritual advisor (a job for which he was paid $227,786).

nypost.com/2023/06/15/nyc… "Cabrera, a senior pastor of New Life Outreach International Church in the Bronx, has been paid $227,786 as a “senior advisor to the mayor,” according to payroll records. His last day is June 20."

NYC's Conflict of Interest Board says that bootlicking former NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio has to pay NYC $474,794.20 to pay for the NYPD detail he had while he foolishly ran for president as well as a $155,000 fine for the 31 out-of-state trips he took on the campaign trail.

https://twitter.com/ChristRobbins/status/1669432485086736384

"In a recent interview that featured rare flashes of self-reflection, former Mayor Bill de Blasio told New York magazine that his 2020 presidential campaign was a "mistake.""

Ed Mullins, the notoriously racist & Trump-loving former NYPD sergeants union boss who got convicted for stealing money from the union, has delayed his prison term for more than 2 months & will still collect his $125,283 pension despite his conviction. nypost.com/2023/06/11/ex-… "The disgraced ex-head of the NYPD sergeants union has been able to delay his potential prison term for wire fraud by more than two months — and will continue to net his six-figure pension, The Post has learned."

Over just the past week, NYPD cops in 3 boroughs (the Bronx, Manhattan, & Queens) have crashed their NYPD vehicles due to their reckless driving, injuring civilians as well as themselves.
