Obeying in advance once again, OSU is now withdrawing support for scholars studying topics and attending relevant conferences that the federal government doesn't like.

Diaspora scatters stories, but memory refuses erasure. In “Portfolio of Stolen Memories,” Rand Abdalqader weaves poems, heirlooms, invoices, and oral histories into an anticolonial archive of her Palestinian family’s life before and after the Nakba.

Israel has bombed Lebanon practically every day for months.

After endless Israeli ceasefire violations, someone in south Lebanon fired a rocket, so now Israel is bombing the capital Beirut.

Israel’s rules are simple: “we’re mobsters who do whatever we want, & see what happens if you object.”

So now "creating a ruckus" is a deportable offence?
Marco Rubio on Rumeysa Ozturk: "We revoked her visa ... once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States ... if you come into the US as a visitor and create a ruckus for us, we don't want it. We don't want it in our country. Go back and do it in your country."

The new documentary "The Encampments" gives an inside look to one of the biggest protest movements in U.S. history.

“Most of the coverage of the encampments to date has been from people who actually never even set foot on the encampments,” says producer Munir Atalla.

New York lawmakers passed a suite of criminal legal system reforms in 2019, including the elimination of cash bail for non-violent felony charges and an overhaul of the state’s discovery laws, which govern how parties share evidence before a trial. Now Kathy Hochul is willing to gut these changes.
Basic Reforms to New York’s Legal Code Are At Risk as Democrats Lurch Rightward
In 2019, New York made it easier for defendants to learn about information used against them. That could now be revoked.
