Thank you Heath!! Definitely sharing, especially to my twin who graduated in 1995. It’s continually disappointing to see higher Ed duck and dodge divestment along with not protecting their students (in this case the administration should have known that ‘The Alley’ (as us townies call it) was public and should have provided a safe space to protest. I’m relieved to hear that students won’t be penalized but the trauma of police brutality never goes away, especially for the Black and Brown students who are subjected to it daily.

So well said, Andrea! The gestures after the fact matter, but the police violence should not have happened in the first place.

Thank you for your commentary. It is necessary to not forget those journalists who sacrifice their lives.

Thank you Abdullahjames! Absolutely- we would not know all that we do about what has been happening in Gaza were it not for the brave reporters sharing these stories. Their sacrifice will always be remembered and honored.
