This piece by my UCLA colleague, Prof. David Myers, accurately describes what I also witnessed on UCLA's campus on Sunday. To keep the peace, we both put ourselves between some pro-Palestinian protesters (who were mostly disciplined and non-confrontational) and a small…

A UCLA editor who was attacked while covering the protests “believed her identity as a journalist would have prevented her from being assaulted.

“Instead, it made her a target.”

But why?

Notable—unlike other schools, Wesleyan Uni says it will not clear an encampment so long as it remains non-violent:
'This morning you can find pro-Palestinian protestors camped out…as long as we all reject violence, we have opportunities to listen and to learn from one another.'

What Republicans want nationally.

S/o to Tania Fernandes Anderson for all her hard work in making this happen. #bospoli

Don’t worry Marjorie, they don’t want to use it against actual antisemites like you. That’s emphatically not what this is about

For @POLITICO Nightly, I wrote about what it's like being a senior at Columbia University while simultaneously reporting on a campus I hardly recognize.

Was just telling my kids how at Princeton in the late 90s some students occupied the President’s office for weeks, and everyone treated it as totally mundane. At Bard where I grew up it happened all the time. Heard that Guidos office at YLS was occupied too.

It’s been 13 years since I came up with this photo caption to celebrate a big wedding in London. Good times.

A certain city councilor won't see me complain about his bad vote against the ceasefire resolution today because he blocked me. :(

From Boston to Gaza, our destinies are tied.

Thank you to our Boston City Council colleagues for their solidarity and to our advocates who've been pushing to make this possible.

Our pro-peace movement is stronger than ever, and we must keep pushing for a bilateral #CeasefireNOW .

Only glimmer of hope in this article is that maybe the pro-EU center left might finally make an actual resurgence in France, having been largely lost to either the anti-EU left or the pro-EU center

MTG casually dropping antique Christian antisemitism and mostly evading notice because TV is too busy hyperventilating about undergrads is wild

At least 194 children were groomed or sexually abused by police officers through the Boy Scouts-run 'Explorer' program that helps kids 'learn about policing,' per the The Marshall Project

Along w/ Congresswoman Madeleine Dean & 55 members, I called on the Biden admin to enforce US law & withhold offensive aid to Israel that can be used for a Rafah assault.

We all must keep working to achieve a lasting ceasefire to save lives, return hostages, & build a path toward security for all.

It is wild for a city councilor to oppose a cease-fire resolution on the grounds that local officials shouldn’t deal with foreign policy, a few months after going on a delegation trip to Israel in their official city council capacity

TY to the 91 Representatives (70 Democrats and 21 Republicans) who voted against an unconstitutional bill attempting to criminalize protests against Israel on college campuses.
