USC went from cancelling their valedictorian’s commencement speech on a made up claim of safety, to canceling all commencement speakers, to canceling commencement altogether—all to prevent the student USC educated on genocide studies from applying her USC education at USC.

Anyone recognize this weapon? I don't. And further, how less-than-lethal is it from six feet aimed at someone's face?

Looks like some of the newer bean bag guns, but it also looks like maybe he's aiming it at a reporter:

CUNY faculty blocking access to students. I guess they aren't hauling off professors yet in NYC unlike ATL.

I thought we were done with on Campus police riots too. Megan is clearly too young and too ill-educated to remember, so I'll offer this little reminder...

I hope one of the lessons everyone’s taking away from watching how these police officers handle student protests is that police brutality isn’t just the murders you see, but the routine daily violence police use on civilians to do something as simple as conduct arrests.

Charges dropped against all 57 arrested in connection to UT-Austin pro-Palestinian protest
All charges have been declined against the 57 people arrested in connection to the Wednesday pro-Palestinian protest at the University of Texas.
The Travis County attorney's office said all 57 arrests, which were all criminal trespassing charges, lacked probable cause.
County Attorney Delia Garza, whose office handles misdemeanor cases, told the American-Statesman on Thursday that her office agreed with defense lawyers that there were "deficiencies" with the probable cause arrest affidavits, which are the documents filled out by law enforcement to justify an arrest. At that time on Thursday, 46 of the 57 had charges declined.
