It is deeply concerning to see universities needlessly expose students to police violence for peacefully expressing their political views. University officials must exercise restraint, practice de-escalation, and protect dissent on campus. aclu.org/documents/letter-to…

A shocking scene captured on camera in 2024 America 🇺🇸 A Jewish man wearing a hat with a Star of David visits a cafe in Oakland, California, orders a coffee, and sits down to play chess. A man, apparently an employee, asks him to leave. When he refuses, the employee calls the police. The officer arrives, informs him he’s trespassing, and asks him to leave. Both the business owner and the cop better lawyer up quickly.
