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.

"Among the deceased were allegedly older people, women and wounded, including some bound and stripped of their clothes." I do not understand why more people are not talking about this. I do not understand any of this at all. theguardian.com/world/2024/apr…

Faculty @Columbia protesting arrest and suspension of students.
The Columbia Law School Human Rights Institute stands with students exercising their fundamental human rights and calls on @Columbia to protect rights to expression and assembly: hri.law.columbia.edu/hri-statement
"Shafik commitment to qualified form of freedom of speech is insincere. Nonviolent protest employing rhetoric that “historically meant different things to different people” is not making anyone unsafe—feeling uncomfortable is not the same as being unsafe." Bravo @ColumbiaSpec

EXCL: Three former supreme court justices, including the court’s former president Lady Hale, are among more than 600 lawyers, academics and retired senior judges warning that the UK government is breaching international law by continuing to arm Israel theguardian.com/world/2024/apr…
“This is not a normal war. The war in Ukraine has killed 500 kids in two years and the war in Gaza has killed over 10,000 in less than five months. We have seen wars before but this is something that is a dark stain on our shared humanity.” -Dr. Fozia Alvi theguardian.com/world/2024/apr…

Now that snipers are trained on peaceful students and professors are being hog-tied by masked men with assault rifles, it'd be great to hear from all the people who made "free speech on US campuses" their life's mission every time they met a student with blue hair.
