Cal Poly Humboldt campus closing for rest of semester due to protests (and vandalism); will have online classes [View all]

Students are very proud of their vandalism and occupation, calling it "redecorating" and "liberation."

Can’t believe more ppl aren’t talking about Cal Poly Humboldt. Despite federal & state authorities’ threats, students aren’t backing down. They occupied a 2nd building after renaming Seimens Hall “Intifada Hall” & redecorated the President’s office as part of the liberated zone:

Cal Poly Humboldt’s occupation is being ignored by most media and organizations, perhaps because its students are primarily working class and employing the most advanced militant tactics we’ve seen in the country. Classes have been canceled the rest of the semester…

Can we talk about how the Cal Poly admin is begging students to stop & threatening to unleash federal/state authorities but the Cal Poly kids are rejecting negotiations without amnesty & shitposting in response to their President after occupying his office & 2 whole buildings 😂

Cal Poly Humboldt has no ties to Israel or the IDF and was already active in responsible investments. They've done millions of dollars of damage and denied other students access to education for nothing.

These kids should have gone home after the first night.
