History professor Steve Tamari is out of the hospital after #police seriously injured him at the Washington University student #protest. According to his wife, he will need surgery on his hand, and he is in pain from nine broken ribs. #Missouri#freepalestine
"Aktivisten haben am Samstag ein Gerüst am Kölner Dom besetzt. Deutlich sichtbar befestigten sie ein großes Banner an der Kathedrale. Sie warfen Flugblätter herab und zündeten Pyrotechnik.
Die Polizei ging gegen die Aktivisten auf dem Baugerüst am Kölner Dom vor. Die Aktion wurde aufgelöst. Weitere Protestierende stimmten vor der Kathedrale in Sprechchöre ein. Die Polizei sperrte einen Teil der Domplatte ab."
Gee, ya think? And it took outside experts for you see that calling #NYPD is a terrible idea? And you’re supposed to be elite geniuses in the Ivy League?
“We called on NYPD to clear an encampment once, but we all share the view, based on discussions within our community and with outside experts, that to bring back the NYPD at this time would be counterproductive, further inflaming what is happening on campus”
After the #BLM protests in 2020, a group of #cops (I forget the exact source) said something to the effect of, "it's easy for us to deal with one big #protest, but ten smaller ones across the #city would overwhelm us".
“In Westwood, demonstrators set up tents and surrounded themselves with makeshift fencing outside UCLA’s historic Royce Hall and controlled who was allowed inside …. As of Friday afternoon, only isolated conflicts between pro-[#Palestine] activists and pro-#Israel counterprotesters had been reported.” #protest#FreePalestine#California
“HAPPENING NOW: #Police are arresting hundreds of American Jews with [Jewish Voice for Peace and other Jewish advocacy groups] as they hold an emergency #Passover seder at [Senator Schumer’s] doorstep demanding the US stop arming and funding the Israeli government as it carries out a #genocide.” #protest#FreePalestine#NYC#Democrats#Israel
NYT chonicles violence against peaceful student protesters at UCLA. Violent counter-protest mob attacked the students, as UCLA security personnel and police officers looked on.#students#protest#gaza
John Oliver is brilliant. He exposes how ridiculous the NYC mayor and NYPD are. Their "evidence" of how dangerous Columbia student protestors is a joke. It's sad that tax dollars are spent on people like them. #students#protest#columbia https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLXN3H2j/
After #police arrested these encamped #students this morning thousands of other students at the University of #Minnesota gathered to join the protest in their absence. The arrested students have been released. The encampment continues tonight, and a Jewish rabbi is leading a Passover Seder at the encampment. #FreePalestine#protest

Back on my bullshit (criticizing my employer in the LA Times, as if I don't have other things to do with my time)
"administrators have already embarrassed #USC considerably and they owe Asna and the entire campus community an apology.
Many including myself are hoping to hear a fuller explication (including details about security concerns) and a path forward from our President, Carol Folt”
“BROWN STUDENTS HAVE BEGUN A #GAZA SOLIDARITY ENCAMPMENT. Join the movement spreading across college campuses calling for university divestment from the #genocide in Gaza. All eyes on #Palestine. 🇵🇸
