This has been in the works for a while, but I just sued the Yale Police Department for failing to comply with the Freedom of Information Act--they've stalled for months after I requested documents pertaining to their surveillance of pro-Palestine students.

Incredible U CLA dispatch by Jessica Schulberg & Lil Kalish, interviewing students abt violence they experienced from pro-Israel mob, & examining how what happened - w/ cops allowing fascist violence - is the “blueprint for authoritarians everywhere” huffpost.com/entry/ucla-pal…

Statement from The New School SJP states that *the Dean of Students herself* had no idea consent had been given to the NYPD to raid the encampment, after previously assuring students no one would be arrested without prior *written* warning.

1.4 million people are sheltering in Rafah. A full-scale invasion would be a massacre.

I joined Rep. Pramila Jayapal, Congresswoman Madeleine Dean & my colleagues to urge President Biden to prevent an assault on Rafah and withhold weapons to Israel.

There were over 100 student arrests at SUNY New Paltz, including my friend’s son (who was beaten in the head with a baton and so is being charged with felony assault on a police officer) but it didn’t break through to national news poughkeepsiejournal.com/story/news/loc…

BREAKING: Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, becomes the first university in the U.S. to fully divest from Israel.

This was Rachel Corrie’s school.

As many of you know, I’ve been helping raise $$ to aid my friend Maram and her family as they evacuate Gaza. Maram made it to Egypt, which is wonderful news—but she had to leave her family behind, in danger, in Rafah. Please help them reunite in safety. gofundme.com/f/evacuate-mar…

NYPD shot & killed Win Rozario as his mom and little brother begged cops not to.
But when he moved toward the cops holding scissors, mom & brother fell to the ground. Bullets flew overhead, killing him.
Rough watching this & writing it. w/Bahar Ostadan:

.Ethan Corey and I went on Law & Disorder on @KPFARadio to talk about the police crackdown on campus protests. Listen here: kpfa.org/area941/episod…

Where are all the public condemnations from Congress on the violence being committed against anti-war protesters at the hands of police and anti-Palestinian counter-protesters?

The map is getting crazy

.Ethan Corey Jerry Iannelli Meg O'Connor have been working nonstop to track every campus arrest and contact dozens of prosecutors to ask how they’ll proceed w these cases. Listen to Meg and Ethan discuss this incredible project on Law & Disorder ⬇️

Meg O'Connor and I got a chance to chat about our (and Elizabeth Weill-Greenberg 🇵🇸's and Jerry Iannelli's) reporting on the arrests and charges filed against pro-Palestinian protesters on Law & Disorder yesterday--check it out! kpfa.org/area941/episod…

Just got a statement from the Ulster County DA (New Paltz), where cops arrested 133 people: 'I completely support the free exercise of free speech and association. I wholeheartedly encourage the use of these rights to oppose human indignities and atrocities anywhere they occur.'

While Anderson Cooper and 'Morning Joe' were uncritically repeating copaganda about the Columbia protests, the student journalists at WKCR were showing them what good reporting actually looks like, writes Zito.

Next update to The Appeal campus arrest tracker is live: 2,500 people arrested around the nation. We've contacted 113 different offices to ask how they'll handle potential charges. theappeal.org/prosecutors-ch…

This is the murder NYPD committed the night before my Breakfast Club Interview with Mayor Eric Adams—the murder he refused to acknowledge when I brought it up— because people’s lives don’t matter to him if they’re not police, and certainly not if they’re killed by police.

A scathing review of the The New York Times refusal to report on Israel’s mass murder of Palestinian journalists.

While The Times presents itself as a bastion of the free press, it has had nothing but excuses and silence as Israel slaughters its colleagues.
