DC NLG warned clearing GW's Palestine solidarity encampment could breach university obligations under the Student Conduct Code. MPD's aggressive raid with 33 arrests, shows GW's failure to uphold their commitments. We condemn these actions! https://t.co/XTpGkq4pP1

The Guild has supported radical movements for over eighty years; showing up and pushing back against law enforcement, imperialism, and white supremacy. Please help us out if you can this #GivingTuesday.

[National Lawyers Guild @NLGnews]

Tomorrow is #GivingTuesday. As a grassroots org that operates on a shoestring budget (& doesn't accept corporate or gov't 💸), we'd be so grateful if you showed the NLG some love at https://t.co/i3eMn88LD1! Learn more about us at https://t.co/JpZHhPp9yB.

At the first protest I ever held a young anarchist came up to me and offered to be my security. He stuck by my side for a week, never leaving the protest. When PPB beat my partner at another protest, he was the only participant who came to the hospital. He was murdered yesterday.

@MerriamWebster quick law question. How should we cite Webster's Unabridged, given the lack of a hard copy? Can we call it the 4th Ed.?
