Yep.
This is what the violence we're seeing on campuses is designed to defend.

These student journalists have shown more care, integrity & poise than an entire industry during a *genocide*. May their courage honor all the Palestinian journalists who were murdered & met with silence by their colleagues. May we keep holding up the living heart of journalism.
For clarity....Columbia University, the institution that houses the Knight First Amendment Institute and the Pulitzers is barring journalists from being on the ground to cover whats happening on campus? Got it.

I am listening to the student journalists at @WKCRFM (on my stream that miraculously is still running?) and I truly, truly, truly am just in awe. They're reporting an unconscious student outside of Hamilton right now, with reports of tear gas.
First encampment at UVA. 👇🏾
May they be reminded of this choice every single time the Pulitzers arrive.
A handful of elite schools — Brown, Wesleyan, Johns Hopkins — seem to have handled the Palestine protests gracefully. Their successful approach: don't send cops after students, talk seriously with the protestors, and enforce *preexisting* codes about speech and harassment.
Unlikely. Willie was shorter and (guessing at the probable date) younger.

French president Macron says Rwanda must withdraw its forces from Congolese territory. Rwanda reportedly has sent 3,000 troops into eastern DRC; it also provides weapons to the M23 rebel militia, which has seized a huge swath of territory in the region. f24.my/AIQe.X
Cant go to my office today because my ID wont get me in. First time ever in my West Indian life that I feel bad about being told to stay home from work (!!) But my employer just doesnt want faculty present to witness whatever they are going to pull on protesting students today
Pure BS from the sorriest so & so in Congress. UVA has had few protests, all with no violence & no police action. Jewish students face no safety issues. Antisemitism here is on par with racism & Islamophobia -- that is, what you'd find anywhere in America, including Congress.

Re-upping this notable news from last night: The Louisa County Board of Supervisors on Monday voted unanimously to defund Piedmont Virginia Community College, pointing to the college’s decision to allow a student group, Students for Justice in Palestine, to show a film on campus.

The student reporters on WKCR are apologizing for being "frazzled" while being trapped within the Pulitzer journalism school & threatened with arrest. They also report that police have entered to use the bathroom, causing panic among students sheltering in the building.

US State Department spokesman Vedant Patel faced repeated questions from journalists about the Department’s report concluding that five Israeli army units had committed gross human rights violations against Palestinians ⤵️
Super interesting to note the contrast between the way Brown University and Columbia University have handled these protests. Brown agreed to a governance vote about divestment, the encampment there dissolved.
again, this is part of why they want cop cities. it's why we have to stop cop cities everywhere
