💥The United States has conveyed to Hamas, via Egypt & Qatar, that the war will end after the first, 40-day truce currently on the table in Cairo, reports אהוד יערי, adding that for the terror group 'this American guarantee is worth more than any Israeli comments.'

Great reporting.

Infuriating.

Civil rights protests that we now proudly claim as part of our national story were very unpopular at the time

Some Vietnam protesters had slogans that many would find ugly, but were still on the right side side of history

NEW: President Joe Biden on Friday announced a final rule that will open up Obamacare plans to tens of thousands of immigrants who came to the United States as children but do not qualify for government health insurance because they lack legal status. politico.com/news/2024/05/0…

Just an FYI for people referencing the Civil Rights Movement as the ideal and legal means of protesting, students sitting in at lunch counters, in movie theaters, in bus terminals and marching in public parks were violating laws and ordinances and agents of the state were also…

“The Pulitzer Prize Board would like to recognize the tireless efforts of student journalists across our nation’s college campuses, who are covering protests and unrest in the face of great personal and academic risk.”

Isn’t this a bike lock?

During NYC BLM protests, a cop looked over at us and said “keep protesting, I’m getting paid overtime”

I know not top priority in this moment but I’d love an ambitious researcher find out the total cost to taxpayers: 100s of cops, overtime, property damage, future lawsuits, etc

according to WKCR the NYPD threatened to arrest jelani cobb -- the dean of the journalism school -- if he left the j-school building.

Two very different ways to deal with protesters …

I applaud Brown for engaging and deescalating

What’s happening at Columbia will go down as a pivotal moment in U.S. student protest history.

Let’s be clear: if you are attacking or abusing Jews for being Jews, for their clothing, language, customs, or ethnicity, you’re an awful person.

You’re a bigot, an antisemite.

And you are no friend of Palestine or the Palestinians.

I'm a Jew-loving Jew. Anti-Semitism is never ok. Here's what is not anti-Semitism: Peaceful protest, criticism of the Israeli government, calling for an independent Palestine, demanding a ceasefire in Gaza, using the term apartheid to describe Israel, questioning Zionism.

Two of the four horsemen no longer with us. This video discussion meant a lot to me 15 years ago

Caitlin Clark effect:

Stubhub back to back NY Liberty WNBA games, cheapest tix are $80 vs $30 when she is vs isn’t on the visiting team

What would you guess her salary will be this next year?

It’s $76,535

Would be kind of awesome to see a Lakers v Warriors Western Conference finals this year
