Big update on the University of Rochester's Gaza solidarity encampment. Protesters have come to a compromise to have one portion of their demands met. The executive of UR's Faculty Senate will be investigating UR's academic ties to Israeli universities.

After an unprecedented decision to silence their Muslim valedictorian’s speech and sending LAPD to violently disperse protestors, USC has cancelled their main stage commencement ceremony. This is the same class that lost their graduation in 2020 to COVID-19.

In our Free Comic Book Day Silver issue, the animated series Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures jumps to comics in a new all-ages story by Daniel José Older, Andy Duggan (Star Wars Era), and team.

LOVE THIS.

To understand more on PEN America’s moral failings in the face of genocide you can check back through Literary Hub’s excellent coverage.

We’re working to contact every author that’s dropped out - but if we haven’t yet, please get in touch.

It’s an open invite to all authors withdrawing from PEN America events and awards.

At least 70 authors have now dropped out of @PENAmerica events in an unprecedented act of solidarity with Palestinian writers.

Today we are announcing an alternative event to mark this collective action, to hear from these authors and from writers from Gaza.

Greetings from Northwestern’s Gaza Solidarity Zone. Chief of NU police is here within first hour and threatening arrest in 10-15 minutes

EVERY WORD OF THIS IS CRAVEN, INSIDIOUS COMPLICITY. Not a single mention of Gaza! Why are students protesting on campuses nationwide, PEN America? Why are faculty being arrested defending them? Why are they risking their futures in unprecedented numbers? pen.org/press-release/…
