Students are helping clear tables and chairs from café terraces at Place de la Bastille as tensions begin to flare with police. Kids showing adults what "responsible" protesting means.

You'll see videos of bloody and traumatised students very soon. Not because the protests are violent, but because the cops are.

This is NOT crowd control. Firing tear gas into a dense crowd with most exits blocked.

Tensions are rising at Place de la Bastille, where police have begun issuing warnings to disperse. They have also blocked most of the exits from the Place de la Bastille.

This is what police are kettling. Only two exits, including a very small one (rue de la Roquette). Seeing some tweets about tears gas now. This can go very very wrong.

This isn’t looking good. Police have completely surrounded a packed Place de la Bastille. There may be two authorised exits, but the crowd is so dense people can’t reach them. They’re now chanting to be let out.

“I don’t understand why they tell us not to rebel when all we study are people who rebelled—Rimbaud, La Boétie…” ( @humanite.fr is doing some excellent live coverage of the student protests) www.humanite.fr/direct_conte...

During today’s protest in Rennes (Brittany), 8th of October, a student lost part of his finger. His hand was resting on a wire fence when police charged. This shows how brutal police charges can be. When protecting yourself is also verboten, you have no choice but to be left exposed to the violence.

According to media reports, the Place de la Bastille is surrounded by riot police, with only two authorised exits. They are sitting ducks.

These scenes are incredible and their language and lucidity about inequality is inspiring! Hope this energy takes them to les urnes.

Media reporting chants of "We’ve taken the Bastille, and we’re here to stay"... here's to hoping they set up camp peacefully and without police repression.

People underestimate how life-changing these protests are for young people in France. Assas still has a powerful far-right contingent, but resistance to it has taken root.

A gentle reminder that Macron’s government claimed yesterday that student protests were dying down. A claim that highlights just how disconnected they and their advisers are from the lived realities of young people in France. 🙃

After blocking traffic with a sit-in near Paris-Panthéon-Assas and chanting “Macron, you’re done -even Assas is out on the streets,” a nod to the university’s right-wing reputation, students marched towards Place de la Bastille, joining other student marches along the way @LucAuffret, Le Figaro

For my ENG speaking followers Unprecedented High School blockades began in the outskirts of Paris in Créteil on the 21st of Sept. National mobilisations followed on the 29th of September, the 1st and the 6th of October. The movement is ongoing and has spread both in scope and scale. #tippingpoint

Looking at different videos of police confiscating protests signs, it seems to me that the signs that are confiscated all point towards police brutality. It is now officially verboten to not only protect oneself from arbitrary police repression, but also to call it out.

Yesterday, at the Lycée Galilée in Gennevilliers, a student was arrested by police inside the school. The headteacher had provided police with students’ photo directories. The student was taken out of class, arrested and placed in police custody.

State censorship’s little dilemma: In the above video you see that police approved - and chuckled over - a protest sign saying “Macron, fuck your teacher, not ours.” (referring to Brigitte Macron). Now we learn that Macron is furious it appeared on public service TV without Channel 2 apologising.

Semblerait que le filtrage des pancartes ne fonctionne pas comme l'Élysée le prévoyait, puisqu'on voit sur cet extrait (inquiétant par ailleurs) un flic non seulement laisser passer ce slogan, mais de plus, se marrer.

Far-right pundits are complaining about spelling mistakes on protest signs. The mistakes are deliberate: they highlight the shortage of teachers and resources in public schools. Irony is indeed dead.

Police are also confiscating goggles and saline solution. Protecting yourself from police violence is now officially verboten. bsky.app/profile/step...

Well this is new! And very worrying. #Freespeech Police are checking the slogans on protest signs and confiscating those they deem unacceptable. When asked what criteria they use to censor them, the officer in charge refuses to answer. bsky.app/profile/ds03...
