as you all may remember, the state of Virginia did not deploy cops like this to UVA/Charlottesville when there were Nazis on campus

Campus officials gave The Daily Cardinal reporters a business card for UW-Madison communications on four separate occasions instead of answering questions from our reporters.

Just asked police at the Fluno Center if press could get a media conference given today's overall lacking communication from police.

Police responded with a laugh.

There are snipers on the roof of the school where I got my MA.

There are police beating students at the school where I got my PhD.

At each school, I studied authoritarian regimes and how they brainwash people into believing that state brutality is not only normal, but deserved.

Update, 4/28, 12:47 p.m.: According to an 11:10 a.m. CML press statement sent to The Sun, Cornell’s administration agreed to open negotiations over the encampment demonstrators’ eight demands on Saturday.

the 'great replacement theory' is an anti Semitic, white supremacist conspiracy theory....

I, too, have, asked the White House directly about the use of police force on campus, and have not received any comment about that.

Breaking: Meg O'Connor, Elizabeth Weill-Greenberg 🇵🇸, and I polled more than 50 prosecuting agencies where campus protests are occurring to ask if they'll charge pro-Palestine demonstrators. Only two so far have expressed any apprehension. Ethan Corey mapped it here: theappeal.org/we-asked-prose…

Contrast: In November 2023, a group of Nazis marched on campus/through downtown Madison, pointedly stopping at a historic synagogue. City and campus police did little about it and shrugged it off as a simple free-speech issue with a side of 'well obviously we condemn...'

Something I've been thinking about all day:

About a year ago, literal, flag-furling Nazis protested a drag brunch at a trendy Columbus brewery. Chanting 'there will be blood' and 'Aryan sun'

No police response. No broad political outcry. The day just came and went.

If you're doing math at home:

It will cost $58.3 million so that libraries can stay open on Saturdays (after closing on Sundays due to previous Eric Adams cuts).

Instead, Adams is giving the NYPD $62.4 million to hire 1,200 new cops.

As leaders in the Texas GOP vow to stamp out antisemitism by jailing campus protesters, a reminder of this headline by Robert Downen:

“Texas GOP executive committee rejects proposed ban on associating with Nazi sympathizers and Holocaust deniers” texastribune.org/2023/12/02/tex…

A camera person with FOX 7 Austin has been arrested at UT Austin

If anyone is legitimately confused about why Columbia is NOT the same as Unite the Right in Charlottesville (2017), I am a historian of the white power movement that was responsible for UTR and I am happy to answer good faith questions.
