  1. "From a statewide counterterrorism surveillance and intelligence-sharing hub in Ohio, a warning went out to administrators at the Ohio State University: “Currently, we are aware of a demonstration that is planned to take place at Ohio State University this evening (4/25/2024) at 1700 hours. Please see the attached flyers. It is possible that similar events will occur on campuses across Ohio in the coming days.”

    Founded in the wake of 9/11 to facilitate information sharing between federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, fusion centers like Ohio’s Statewide Terrorism Analysis and Crime Center, or STACC, have become yet another way for law enforcement agencies to surveil legally protected First Amendment activities. The 80 fusion centers across the U.S. work with the military, private sector, and other stakeholders to collect vast amounts of information on American citizens in a stated effort to prevent future terror attacks.

    In Ohio, it seemed that the counterterrorism surveillance hub was also keeping close tabs on campus events.

    It wasn’t just at Ohio State: An investigative series by The Intercept has found that fusion centers were actively involved in monitoring pro-Palestine demonstrations on at least five campuses across the country, as shown in more than 20,000 pages of documents obtained via public records requests exposing U.S. universities’ playbooks for cracking down on pro-Palestine student activism.

    As the documents make clear, not only did universities view the peaceful, student-led demonstrations as a security issue — warranting the outside police and technological surveillance interventions detailed in the rest of this series — but the network of law enforcement bodies responsible for counterterror surveillance operations framed the demonstrations in the same way."

  3. John Chrysostom, archbishop of Constantinople, on Moses’ offer to be blotted out for the sin of an unruly people in in Exodus 32:32. Chrysostom calls Moses great.

    Today, do we have leaders calling for the blotting out of people for (very false and very petty) evidences of unruliness?

    Whom do you call great?

  4. "#JewishCurrents editor-in-chief Arielle Angel spoke to three Jewish student organizers arrested at the original encampments—Izzy Lapidus, Sarah Borus, and Lea Salim—about their experiences over the past week and what #PalestineSolidarity organizing has looked like on their campuses since October 7th."

  5. From the #AntiWar rallies of the #Vietnam era to the #CivilRights sit-ins, and now to the contemporary marches for #Palestinian rights, it’s clear that #students have been — and continue to be — powerful #catalysts for major shifts in society.

    #StudentActivism is often chaotic, but always driven by passion, and essential. Looking back at the #history of #StudentMovements, it’s evident that when students raise their voices, they lay the foundation for future #change.
