The @Dodgers have abandoned the city that embraced them. Dave Roberts claims he cannot speak out because he doesn't know enough about what is going on. Well Dave, step outside & open your eyes. To claim ignorance shows how disconnected you are from the city that shows up for you.

40 percent of the Dodgers fan base is Latino. The club has remained silent as brown-skinned people are targeted across Los Angeles. Dylan Hernández eviscerates the @Dodgers clubhouse for its cowardice. https://t.co/yYe2K275lb

This right here: “the near-universal willingness to speak derisively about protestors.”

“I do question how much the university administration understands the concept of free speech,” says @USC journalism professor @afuahirsch. “The point of free speech is that people have the right to say things that you might find uncomfortable or inconvenient,” she tells me.

Sen. Sanders: "I suggest to CNN and maybe some of my colleagues here, maybe take your cameras, just for a moment, off of Columbia and UCLA . Maybe go to Gaza, and take your camera show us the emaciated children who are dying from malnutrition because of Netanyahu's policies."

I don't know who she is but she's iconic. A true queen.

[Cecilia Menjivar @cecimenjivar.bsky.social @menjivar_ceci]

Really @UCA? Is this how you @UCLAchancellor
keep our students safe? First letting a mob violently attack & the next day allowing police to shoot them? You have failed all of us. #NoConfidence in you

Police shoot at UCLA protesters as encampment cleared https://t.co/p6K44MCAuo

[LA City Controller Kenneth Mejia @lacontroller]

Out of concern for the safety of the @USC community, the general public, and in the interest of fiscal prudence, we urge the @USC Administration to refrain from using police to suppress peaceful student protest.

@PresidentFolt:
Students’ right to free speech must be protected.

I am going to teach this in my classes. What a powerful lesson.

[Calla @CallaWalsh]

Everyone has seen the bonk video, but it's worth watching the full thing to see how Cal Poly kids pushed out riot cops. Look at the brave people in the front, faces literally pressed against shields! Look at how everyone's holding onto each other so no one can get grabbed away!

[Dorinne Kondo @DorinneKondo]

On Friday the American Studies and Ethnicity Department sent this letter to USC’s President Carol Folt and Provost Andrew Guzman to decry the University’s response that has unleashed violence upon the students and faculty who are peacefully protesting against Israel’s genocide of Palestinean people in Gaza.

In case you want facts instead of wishful thinking - Ken Calvert is an extremist with a long anti-queer, anti-immigrant, anti-voting rights and anti-women voting record. Don’t be fooled. Check his record for yourself. @CVIndependent @KenCalvert https://t.co/s5l14UAiaL
