The propaganda war is raging, and state stenographers are rushing to paint college campus anti-war protests as hotbeds of violence.

The scene at DePaul's camp could not be any more tranquil right now—people are lounging in hammocks, eating ice cream and organizing supplies.

why is a UCPD detective who was placed on leave after being caught undercover at a trauma center protest here? chicagomaroon.com/16801/news/und…

Shameful decision by Northwestern to constantly target their own alumni - doubly so, when Alex’s fair and dedicated coverage of this event has been invaluable to so many of regionally

NU makes *themselves* the story, and thereby makes themselves look worse each time they try

I asked Eliza Larson, the comms admin kicking me out, if they realized there are a ton of other non-NU people on campus. She said yes, and they deal with those people 'as needed.' So why the hell is a local journalist the top of their 'as needed' list, then?

Three things that are true at once: peace policing sucks, it will take more than sit-ins to stop genocide, and grown adults in their 30s/40s pouting online over people barely out of their teens not protesting militantly enough for them should probably chill out

bloody press vests laid outside the white house correspondents’ dinner for all the palestinian journalists killed

Most folks are aware of existing campus policy. The issue as it stands is the selective enforcement. This time yesterday, we could've strolled through campus with no issue. Choosing only to enforce when students are under threat of police violence is a terrible look.

Off the ground. Honestly pretty appalled at how today went! Shout-out to the Northwestern media relations staff who told us they're 'reading our tweets.' A whole team devoted to keeping journalists off campus. What does that say about your university's values?

Extremely normal reaction from campus staff here. Sun has set and the camp is flooded with activists and individuals documenting. Administrators still hunting in the dark for anyone who 'looks like' media.

Note: according to staff, citizens documenting independently are allowed to be on campus property.

You can have a camera. You can take photos. You just can't document anything as part of a media operation.

Media relations staff from the university still harassing press for documenting the encampment. As scene quieted earlier, many reporters came onto grounds to speak with students. As 8pm approaches, university employees are again circling and kicking them out.

A sign on the fence reads, 'THERE ARE NO UNIVERSITIES LEFT IN GAZA'

A tranquil scene as dusk slowly envelopes the Northwestern University Gaza solidarity encampment.

For now, police remain off the meadow.

Camp has tripled in size since this morning. Activists have set up a medic tent and are sorting through donated supplies.

NEW: The officer who fired at Dexter Reed over 50 times had been on a tactical team less than 12 weeks. When he joined the team in January, he was the youngest tact team member in the entire city & did not meet CPD's minimum requirements. w/ @jinxpress peoplesfabric.com/blog/cop-who-f…

Scenes from Northwestern University's Gaza solidarity encampment. After early threats of arrest this morning, protesters stood their ground on Deering Meadow until campus police vehicles retreated. Reinforcements continue arriving, with a larger rally planned this evening.

Hey Northwestern Medill any comment on the rights for journalists to cover events on a publicly accessible campus?

This is what police across the country are terrified of. Youth linking hands in solidarity and having a good time.

Journalism jail.

University officials not letting any media except select student media step foot onto Deering Meadow.

Note: on any ordinary day, it's v normal for Evanston residents (or media) to be able to walk through campus.

Incredible scene at Northwestern University this morning as hundreds have shown up to support an encampment threatened with arrest.

University officials restricting media access to campus grounds right now. Already threatened with arrest for trespassing.

Been my experience at every large lefty protest since I was beaten and arrested at Occupy Wall Street. We live in a police state, the Bill of Rights is an afterthought.
