Longer clip of Professor Derek R. Peterson, a University of Michigan historian and MacArthur Genius Grant recipient, who thanked “pro-Palestinian student activists” during a graduation speech yesterday, for “opening our hearts to the injustices and inhumanity of Israel’s war in Gaza.”
“It is to them that we can rightly sing ‘Hail to the victors valiant… hail to Michigan”
What all these two have endured to reach this moment. To keep such tenderness alive in you despite such brutalisation of your lives... is a revolutionary act itself. Bahut bahut salaam comrades.
And yes, Gautam is 'free' now.
I'm so glad @OhioStatePres just clarified why he authorized training snipers on our students and arresting those who had peaceably assembled.
Per his statement, he was deeply concerned about over burdening the toilets in the union.
Somebody's full of shit and it aint the kids.
Graduate and Professional Students at @OhioState have released an open letter to our university administration.
See our demands (which echo those from @SJPOSU) below.

Students launched an encampment for Gaza at Ohio State University — the third largest university in the country.
After police swept the camp this morning, students and community have returned to protest in full force.
A statement and call to action from Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine at Ohio State.
I encourage my colleagues to read and share the full statement, and join us today (4/25), 5p at the Ohio Union.
