[Tony Plohetski @tplohetski]

NEW: A felony charge against a Fox 7 Austin photographer have been dismissed, his attorney, Gerry Morris confirms. The DPS detective in the case withdrew a warrant after acknowledging it did not allege a felony crime but could later resubmit it later, Morris said.

Great story about today’s pro Palestinian protest. If you haven’t read anything about it, read this.

[Naina Srivastava @nainazaara]

Law enforcement arrested at least 43 protesters on Monday after students formed an encampment in support of Palestine on the South Mall lawn. The story continues to be monitored. Read my story for @thedailytexan. https://t.co/ehUscWqwYb

Last day of classes @UTAustin.

NEW: Austin Lawyers Guild attorney George Lobb says at least 43 people were arrested at @UTAustin today. @statesman

[Council Member Zo Qadri, District 9 @CMZoQadri]

I'm dismayed to see APD on campus. Our tax dollars shouldn't be used to violate students' right to assemble. @CMChitoVela, @RyanAlter, & I have requested an executive session legal briefing on APD's role in the UT campus protests. We need clear answers on APD's involvement.

[The Daily Texan @thedailytexan]

BREAKING: Over 50 protesters begin to form an encampment on South Mall while chanting for divestment. There are eight Austin police officers present.

[Lily Kepner @lilykepner]

New protest rules form today: @UTAustin says those who have previously been arrested for trespassing aren’t allowed on campus. I asked if it matters if charges were dropped, a UT spokesperson said it doesn’t. @statesman

[Maddie Duncan @maddunc]

University rules prohibit protestors from using amplifiers or bullhorns. Instead, organizers asked the crowd to repeat them as they spoke.

[Maddie Duncan @maddunc]

Hundreds of students gather in support of Palestine and to protest the arrest of over 50 demonstrators yesterday.

Keep up with the demonstration on campus with this great thread by @thedailytexan

[The Daily Texan @thedailytexan]

I’ll be live-tweeting my first day at SXSW! I just ran into @mcuban at registration, so this should get interesting. Unfortunately I was too shocked to get a photo 🤦🏻‍♀️

@SethGreen @federallamm @LeoDiCaprio @rewild @JCHartzell One panelist said one challenge of growth in the venture capital market in Austin is ensuring that local entrepreneurs “stay local” and continue to invest in the local economy.
