“I literally felt that I was in a war zone.” Emory University professor Emil' Keme describes being arrested while defending student antiwar protesters in what is an unprecedented expansion of campus suppression to include faculty arrests.
We must be clear that administrators are inviting police, who are legally authorized to use deadly force, on campuses to respond to what are peaceful protests. It is an unnecessary and dangerous escalation.
The professor has been charged with battery against the officer. You read that right.

Our fight to end mass incarceration and protect those who are impacted by it has taken huge leaps forward in the first few months of 2024. We’ve had major developments in one of our central lanes of work: eliminating solitary confinement.
White woman, world renowned academic, brutalised by cops in full view of video cameras and arrested. They still lied on court records about the event. Now think how often cops lie about those without similar privilege

What a pleasure to speak on the ABA for Law Students @abalsd podcast about my path to linking teaching, scholarship & activism—with a shout out to my amazing @pennlaw Reproductive Rights & Justice students!
1/ 🚨ACTION ALERT 🚨 North Carolina is prosecuting Amanda Wallace, Founder of @StopCPSNow_, as retaliation for her organizing in defense of families. Scroll to learn how to show solidarity. 🧵
PRSS Founding Director Prof. @DorothyERoberts and former PRSS postdoctoral fellows Eram Alam and @nshibley , have published a co-edited book titled Ordering the Human: The Global Spread of Racial Science (Columbia University Press: April 2024) cup.columbia.edu/book/ordering-…
Texas’ family policing agency @TexasDFPS was fined $100,000 per day because of its failure to prevent the children in its custody from being physically and sexually abused. Nothing about this system provides safety for children. texastribune.org/2024/04/15/tex…
My latest for @truthout looks at the BOP's sudden decision to shutter its "rape club" prison & transfer the 605 incarcerated people to diff prisons (many of which have the same abusive conditions): truthout.org/articles/priso…
Good company! Grateful to my ORDERING THE HUMAN co-editors and former @AfricanaUPenn @P_R_S_S_ postdoctoral fellows Eram Alam and @nshibley.

This is a scandal. NYC has failed to disclose $1.2 BILLION in NYPD misconduct settlements and judgments since 2013, years-long investigation shows. cityandstateny.com/policy/2024/04…
The family policing system to prison pipeline is real. 90% of children w/ 5+ foster care placements will be ensnared by the criminal legal system. Different system, same tactics used since slavery: family separation, trauma, brutality, surveillance, punishment. The list goes on

I’m thrilled to bring together so many members of the @Penn and Philly communities for the “sold-out” @P_R_S_S_ screening of TO BE INVISIBLE and discussion of the realities of family policing with the director @myah_overstreet & impacted mothers.
Keeping the conversation going on the care economy and racial capitalism, a book talk on Care: The Highest Stage of Capitalism (@haymarketbooks 2024) with @premillanadasen (author) and @DorothyERoberts next Thursday 4/18 6:30 p.m. at @BarnardCollege. RSVP: eventbrite.com/e/care-the-hig…

.@SaloveyPeter: Nearly 300 @Yale faculty condemn the criminalization of Yale students engaged in acts of peaceful protest. @Yale must drop all charges, take no disciplinary action against those arrested, and respect peaceable speech and assembly on campus. docs.google.com/document/d/13G…
White woman, world renowned academic, brutalised by cops in full view of video cameras and arrested. They still lied on court records about the event. Now think how often cops lie about those without similar privilege
DeKalb, Georgia court records show Fohlin, the Emory professor 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, was jailed for 11 hours and charged with "Battery Against Police Officer"
"There is a fairly high likelihood I will be fired today...I can't sit here and watch this anymore." Chills.

Our fight to end mass incarceration and protect those who are impacted by it has taken huge leaps forward in the first few months of 2024. We’ve had major developments in one of our central lanes of work: eliminating solitary confinement.
Nope, the protests have not led to the arrests. The arrests are the result of concerted decisions by administrators across campuses. Nothing natural or inevitable about the arrest of non-violent protestors.
The professor has been charged with battery against the officer. You read that right.
It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.

We must be clear that administrators are inviting police, who are legally authorized to use deadly force, on campuses to respond to what are peaceful protests. It is an unnecessary and dangerous escalation.
“I literally felt that I was in a war zone.” Emory University professor Emil' Keme describes being arrested while defending student antiwar protesters in what is an unprecedented expansion of campus suppression to include faculty arrests.
While this seems like a good thing, it is not If an armed squad can round up citizens and lock them in cages without enforcing an actual law, then they are NOT “law enforcement officers” They’re a military regime.

Jesus. Gassing protesting students is a disgusting and shameful overreaction.
#BREAKING: Officers from the Emory Police Department, Atlanta Police Department and Georgia State Patrol began using gas and arresting protestors around 10:20 a.m. this morning. The protestors had set up an encampment on the Quadrangle around 7:30 a.m. Story to come.
We don't have to imagine a self-serving hypothetical. When I worked at the University of Tennessee, actual nazis twice reserved a room and gave speeches. The police *protected* the nazis, ensuring they were safe and could speak.
"If campus officials imagine that they can accept dozens, scores, or hundreds of chanting pro-Palestinian protesters setting up tents on a campus quad, would they show the same grace toward students wearing MAGA hats engaged in the same behavior? If students in their tents were…

Last day of class with this tremendous group of future movement lawyers! So proud of them.
The *base budget* for the NYPD is $11 billion- not even including overtime & massive civil rights settlement payments. But he can't afford $58.3 million to keep public libraries open. Thats just .05% of the police budget. A budget is a statement of values. Eric Adams has…
