She says protestors 'crossed a line' when they occupied Hamilton Hall... but she called the police on her students ten days before that happened!

Does she think her students are morons? Why would they listen to her until that she notes her error in escalating the situation?

This is horrifying to watch. These are the people that are going to bring “order” to campus protests though, right

In 1962, we organized sit-ins to end racist policies at the University of Chicago. In '63, I was arrested protesting segregated schools. But we were right.

Stay peaceful and focused. You’re on the right side of history.

As Biden officials mark Press Freedom Day, remember that they arm & fund Israel’s unprecedented killing of journalists in Gaza.

Remember the image of Israeli forces beating mourners at Shireen Abu Akleh’s funeral *2 years ago* and that Biden did nothing after Israel killed her.

This is the first generation in more than 100 years that does NOT look at the Israel-Palestine issue through a distinctly Israeli/Zionist lens. The fact that the protests are centering Palestinian over Zionist narratives is what is so disorienting & enraging for so many folks.

If Chinese or Russian former special operations forces were on U.S. college campuses posting about “running infiltration operations” and training/advising a police crackdown on students protesting against the actions of the Chinese/Russian government, people would lose their…

Reporter: ICC warned against threats and intimidation, would US back Israeli retaliation against ICC?

Jean-Pierre: We oppose threats…but we’ve been clear, we don’t support the investigation and they don’t have jurisdiction. Not gonna get into hypotheticals, but we’ve been clear
