The absolute insistence on deploying police and arresting peaceful protestors across US Universities at this moment speaks volumes. Can't administrators look to history and see what that always brings? The next few days will be very telling for the future of the academy.

We stand with the campus protesters.

We're now offering free ebooks on Palestine, mass protests, and student rebellions.

I've spent the last decade writing the same sentence a million times over and over again, phrased differently. I'll try it once more:

A tech-savvy artist unearthed video footage of people working hard to capture the perfect shot for Instagram. It's a lesson in the artifice of social media — and the ubiquity of surveillance. https://t.co/4eQjiLqMjm
