Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
9 people arrested last night, DeSantis wants them to be expelled. It’s been smaller than most, and by that nature less disruptive and “violent” than the others. There were a couple hundred people on the second day, but through the nights it hasn’t been many at all.
It's heartening to hear that there are folks in Florida that care about Palestine like that. I always feel like I live in Chud country after leaving university. I hope there are some faculty sympathies to encourage student resolve. I remember my profs giving us support at the start of the Trump years, especially when that vile Richard Spencer tried to come to campus.
I keep thinking about when Richard Spencer came and how different the response was to this. They fought tooth and nail to make sure he was able to speak. They spent millions on security to protect him and his Nazi friends. But as soon as they saw a keffiyeh in the plaza they called in state troopers.
The contrast really shows the beliefs of the people in power and to what lengths they will go to when they feel that their power structures are threatened.
