everything I hear and read about UCLA last week is totally surreal and terrifying lrb.co.uk/blog/2024/may/…
Videos captured by news outlets and shared on social media show police shoving and pushing protestors, pulling a woman’s hair, trapping a wheelchair user under a metal barricade, and using pepper spray at close-range. indyweek.com/news/orange/ou…

The way WKCR journalists are handling copaganda (insisting on confirmation and verification before repeating tropes and rumors) versus the way CNN is not only uncritically repeating police statements but marveling at their tactics is truly something to behold.
More than 30 students have set up tents in the Universiry Yard calling on GW to divest financial ties with Israel, joining a mobilization of encampments at more than a dozen universities nationwide. @gwhatchet
My @columbiajourn students are out reporting non-stop: working sources they've built over months, navigating the campus unlike any outsider, and adding much-needed context, humanity and depth to coverage. If you're an editor looking to commission them, get in touch.

Cary's Pimento Cheese Festival is this weekend. From 2019, here is @LenaRoseGeller's dispatch on the fête for the "caviar of the South." indyweek.com/food-and-drink…
spoke with Amanda McBaine & @djessemoss about their new film ‘Girls State,’ which strikes a tone somewhere between an election night broadcast and Bo Burnham’s ‘Eighth Grade’ (and leads the lineup at @FullFrame) indyweek.com/culture/teenag…
"Foushee, who received more than $2 million in bundled campaign contributions from AIPAC in 2022, met with Netanyahu at a time when his government has killed more than 30,000 people, including more than 10,000 children, in Gaza in the span of five and a half months." #ncpol

@LenaRoseGeller (Btw, a statement from Rep. Foushee's office showed up today. According to Google, it would've been posted around 2am today, several hours after our story. The date on it says April 1. Page metadata usually has time stamps, but I looked & there's none here.)
for @indyweek: Rep. Valerie Foushee traveled to Israel last week to meet with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, sitting almost directly across the table from the prime minister as he requested support in "finish[ing] the job" indyweek.com/news/triangle-…
thank you @LenaRoseGeller for reporting on this visit indyweek.com/news/triangle-…

must-read by @CyNeffNews
new for @indyweek: the durham farmers’ market has prohibited Moonbelly Meat Co. from selling bacon, Italian sausage, breakfast sausage, and hot dogs due to concerns of "product overlap” with other vendors, puzzling customers indyweek.com/food-and-drink…
