What a disastrous interview. Head of IN state police, invited by IU for a military raid, admits he doesn’t understand the First Amendment and was plainly driven by his own political views on the protests. He, not Pam Whitten, appears to call the shots. indianapublicmedia.org/news/isp-leade…

Did a teach-in USC encampment today—one of my best teaching experiences ever.

We talked abt power of communication, meanings of “public”, challenging institution control of language & borders, & more.

Students were so lovely, caring, smart.

Visit a protest, support students!

STOP MESSAGING ME TO BE SAFE. NO ONE IS CAN BE SAFE WHILE THESE POLICE ARE OUT.

thank you. I have never heard of Patriot Front before this weekend. What else do they do?

Last week, I stated that I could no longer utilize the important work ADL once did regarding monitoring antisemitism and would rely on the FBI numbers, though not ideal. They reached out and I was honest that I thought their CEO Jonathan Greenblatt was no longer able to define it…

2. Calling the protesters 'pro-Hamas' is misleading.

Protesters so far have opposed the war in Gaza and harshly condemned Israel. But calling the protest 'pro-Hamas' on the whole, as some conservative onlookers have, is not accurate.

Pro-Palestinian protest starting UW–Madison

conveniently though we are accusing Israel of genocide for, among other things, denial of humanitarian aid to civilians, targeted killings of civilian leadership, indiscriminate killing of civilians, destruction of cultural institutions, forced displacement, etc. that’s not war.

crazy how authorities will ask for snipers for peaceful antiwar protests but let people who worship Hitler and deny the Holocaust march through their streets w/o permits and never check to see if any of them have open warrants

Does he want people to doxx Patriot Front or does he want to ban doxxing?

Hey, Patriot Front... I never wore masks when I was in the white nationalist movement... stop being cowards.

THE RIGHT: we're the real intellectuals
ALSO THE RIGHT: we have acquired all of our understanding of theodor adorno through excerpts of summaries that are available on the first pages of google search results

It is not hard to understand. Police aren't there to defuse a crisis.

The Palestine exception doesn’t just undermine the ideology of ‘free speech’. It also undermines human rights discourse and other ‘universals’ of the post war liberal order.

A sign on the fence reads, 'THERE ARE NO UNIVERSITIES LEFT IN GAZA'

NU encampment is holding a seder service, but notes the potential for police to move in during the middle of it. A contingency plan is in place for the current speakers to swap out for those prepared to be arrested, and will continue service until no longer possible.

NEW: The officer who fired at Dexter Reed over 50 times had been on a tactical team less than 12 weeks. When he joined the team in January, he was the youngest tact team member in the entire city & did not meet CPD's minimum requirements. w/ @jinxpress peoplesfabric.com/blog/cop-who-f…

Telling how steadfast the commitment to rules are when extreme right-wing types show up at campuses, and how quickly those commitments change when it's anyone else. I can only hope more eyes are opening to the bullshit charade that the 'free speech warrior' stuff always was
