SCOOP: I reviewed an internal State Dept memo, parts of which was classified, that included the most extensive and serious to date warnings to Secretary Blinken over Israel’s possible non-compliance with international humanitarian law. Here’s what I learned 1/X
I'm beyond disgusted by the scenes coming out of IU Bloomington, my alma mater. Any freelance, student (or other) journos want to collaborate on an ongoing project to FOIA both public U's and private U's communications w/ police? Hit me up!

Hundreds showed up to protest @washu's ties to @Boeing amid the war in Gaza today.
Now, as @erjlee documents, mass arrests have begun by campus and local police. Stay tuned to @stlpublicradio for more soon.
670+ arrests at protests against genocide nationwide
Demonstrations at 50+ campuses across 25+ states
We asked prosecutors in every jurisdiction with protests whether they will prosecute.
Their answers—alongside their election year—are documented here: theappeal.org/we-asked-prose…
Stories abound of Pam Whitten’s cruelty to staff, phoniness, misplaced arrogance, narcissism, and intolerance of dissent. It’s always been clear she has no academic values. Knowing she was responsible for this brutal mayhem again today brings everything about her into focus.
Pro-Palestine demonstrators crashed Pres Whitten’s major donor dinner tonight. Millionaires can’t enjoy a soirée on campus while students are beaten and IU remains complicit in genocide.
A second round of arrests at @IUBloomington today, the school where a sniper was stationed on top of the student union this week. Students and faculty (including the AAUP chapter president) were also hit with 1-year bans from campus. Shameful behavior from my alma mater.

While the media ignores them, students at community colleges ARE protesting genocide too.
They have far fewer material resources to leverage but are just as important. I’ll flag them in this 🧵 as I learn about their efforts.

Important story from @lukewgoldstein on how the ADL and other groups supported expanding warrantless surveillance SPECIFICALLY to spy on antiwar protesters. Luke explains how the government can use the expanded FISA law to do it

IU faculty are moving over to Dunn Meadow, where they will join IU Divestment Coalition in protest. Some faculty are calling for graduation boycotts and may not finish grading assignments or submit final grades.
ICYMI, there really was a *sniper* on the roof of the student union at Indiana University (my alma mater) — it’s also in todays AAUP statement condemning 30 arrests on campus.
Faculty already passed a vote of no confidence in the university president earlier this month.

So far, Columbia, Indiana University and Northwestern have all had admin bypass faculty committees to unilaterally change codes in order to suspend and ban protesters.

According to colleagues, IU faculty arrested at the Palestine solidarity encampment are slapped w 1yr bans from campus. I have seen many examples of police brutality agst campus protests over the yrs- inc student bans - but I have never heard of faculty targeted this way before
Remember folks, if there is a violent crackdown of a peaceful protest at a state university, you can request records of potential administration communications with elected officials

The @IUBloomington administration evidently changed a longstanding time/place/manner protest policy and imposed a new one yesterday, in anticipation of the Dunn Meadow protest. This makes it difficult to argue the policy was viewpoint-neutral, as the First Amendment requires.
