Frat bros at Ole Miss chant, 'Lizzo! Lizzo!' and shout, 'F**k you fatass, f**k you b*tch' at a Black woman who was protesting for Palestine.

Do people really think these counterprotestors are doing it to support Jews?

BREAKING: Penn asked the Philadelphia Police Department to immediately help disband the College Green encampment — and the PPD declined to do so until Penn proves that the situation is more dangerous.

.The Legal Aid Society says NYPD detained and processed demonstrators who were charged on low-level offenses and should have received an appearance ticket for excessive amounts of time:

2 weeks ago, we reported on a deadly strike in Gaza. The harrowing image of children's bodies splayed around a foosball table impossible to forget.
A CNN analysis of evidence recovered and documented at the scene of the strike now points to the likely cause: a precision-guided…

@fredmlawrence, former president of Brandeis University, says most U.S. schools are failing in their response to Gaza protests.

“The Pulitzer Prize Board would like to recognize the tireless efforts of student journalists across our nation’s college campuses, who are covering protests and unrest in the face of great personal and academic risk.”

Yusef, a student protester at UCLA, describes the attack at the Palestine Solidarity Encampment Last night. He received 12 staples to the back of his head after being hit by a wooden plank.

One of the best things I learned reading about the Civil Rights Movement is that all movements are imperfect and that those expecting perfection (in strategy, from activists, or in actions) are not only opposed to the movement but often too cowardly to admit it.

Pressed to back up his claims that 'outside agitators' co-opted Columbia's protests, Mayor Eric Adams has repeatedly mentioned a woman on campus whose husband was 'convicted for terrorism.'

When I was looking at the damage at Hamilton Hall this morning, I saw Minouche Shafik walking in, accompanied by four men. I waited until she walked outside again to capture this moment.
