Hochul has referred the Rochester-area DA, who was caught on video berating a cop for trying to pull her over, to a misconduct commission.

But the commission, established three years ago, isn't yet operational — thanks in part to feet-dragging from Hochul

Students at Columbia University have occupied Hamilton hall. Today the university president explicitly said to students the school would not be divesting and threatened to suspend students protesting. The last time this building was taken over by student protesters was in 1968

You should hire Spencer immediately (but also let him keep working with me:) ). He's a killer investigative reporter with truly mystifying data abilities + the sensitivity needed to treat sources with care. He helps his peers & takes edits like a champ. All-around ideal colleague

The history of gaza really is the same horrifying shit over and over.

For anyone who is new to this (or under 30), ten years ago the idea of huge Palestinian solidarity encampments spreading over more than 100 US college campuses would have been entirely outside the range of political possibility.

Wtf is this

An NBC News investigation into seven deadly airstrikes has found Palestinians were killed in areas of southern Gaza that the Israeli military had explicitly designated as safe zones.

Hala Gorani reports from Israel.

As you watch US media give wall-to-wall coverage to statements made by often unnamed people, keep in mind there’s been nearly no coverage of 6 months of genocidal statements by Israeli leaders representing a government actually killing thousands of Palestinians in Gaza.

The order to fire Hassan came from 'higher up' in the administration, sources say.

Hassan's office is overseen by Deputy Mayor Phil Banks, who's behind a separate effort to oust the chair of the city police oversight board, we first reported this week.

NOW: NYU students have established a new ‘Gaza Solidarity Encampment’ after NYPD swept their first encampment in Gould Plaza

Hundreds of UAW members and supporters marched to the encampment

Gaza-based journalist Akram al-Satarri has just returned from Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, where Palestinians are still uncovering more bodies, many with evidence of torture or summary execution. 'The three different mass graves are containing around 700 bodies,' he says.

It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor Caroline Fohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, 'What are you doing?' That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.

Legendary. This reminds me of the time demonstrators at the City Hall encampment repelled an early morning NYPD raid in June 2020. Thousands marched every day for the rest of the year. The powers that be really don't seem to know what beast they're poking.

Extremely disturbing footage. Atlanta cops tasing a restrained student protester at Emory university minutes ago.

Climate protesters are being arrested after blocking the entrance to Citigroup’s NYC headquarters for the second day in a row.

LAPD just aimed a weapon at protesters

Today in The Nation we have a piece by Lujayn, a 14-year-old girl in Gaza, that has floored me every time I've read it. It's about what happened when an Israeli bulldozer came to destroy the house she was staying in, and you must, must, must read it. thenation.com/article/world/…
