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.

[swm @sheathescholar]

this is how the cops are preparing to engage with peaceful #OhioState protesters on South Oval.

[swm @sheathescholar]

new announcement from cops on South Oval: disperse immediately or get arrested.

Protesters have tightened their circle and are chanting, “long live Palestine” and “we are the revolution” loudly.
