My son was doored and fell into the street, just weeks after Amanda Phillips was killed the same way. He was lucky no cars were coming or he could have been killed. Safety shouldn't be left up to luck. I'm disappointed in last night's vote. Thx Cambridge Bicycle Safety for your support.

Jeremy Weinstein is a legendary teacher, groundbreaking university innovator, world class scholar & one of the most impactful 🇺🇸gov officials I ever worked with. A wise, bold choice to be dean of Harvard Harvard Kennedy School. Congrats to Jeremy & the students, faculty & broader world!

We’re excited to share that Jeremy M. Weinstein, a renowned scholar of political science, experienced academic leader, and dedicated public servant will become dean of Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government on July 1. ken.sc/3UCDH5T

Very important point here, which is that the events of last fall (two prominent presidents losing their jobs!) have made university admin very fearful of attacks from the right -- and so are shifting rightward across all tiers of decisionmaking

Caroline Fohlin, the Emory professor of economics seen on video being thrown to the ground and handcuffed by an Emory police officer for expressing concern at the violent arrest of a protester on campus, was jailed for 11 hours and charged with... Battery Against Police Officer

In fairness to him, he warned us that he’d use his position on the court to get revenge.

Watch this video if you haven't.

Vicious, brutal, unprovoked and unwarranted violence by an officer (and his buddies).

And then, the cherry on top: the victim has been charged with 'Simple Battery' of an officer.

Almost funny if it weren't so sick.

It's hard to understand why an economics professor showing concern for a student would be thrown to the ground and arrested. This is not an obvious way to defuse a crisis.
