BREAKING: A court ruled that prominent civil rights activist DeRay McKesson is not legally responsible for injuries inflicted by someone else at a protest he had organized. This is a major win for our right to protest.

So @Princeton decides to hold an informal faculty meeting about the University’s response to student protests. But they refuse to let the majority of faculty in the room. The room is at capacity, they say. And they say they’re interested in dialogue. Outrageous.

Just an FYI for people referencing the Civil Rights Movement as the ideal and legal means of protesting, students sitting in at lunch counters, in movie theaters, in bus terminals and marching in public parks were violating laws and ordinances and agents of the state were also called out to violently suppress these protests.

Reporting from Al-Nusairat refugee camp. A residential tower was targeted by an Israeli air strike. Many people were killed and injured including children and babies. Civil defense workers are still trying to rescue people and extract bodies from under the rubble. Horrific scene as usual
