this is very much what worries me: "The new legislation would...limit local governments' ability to demand data from the rideshare companies. 'Pre-empting' Minneapolis' ordinance had emerged as Uber and Lyft's TOP PRIORITY as negotiations progressed." www.axios.com/local/twin-c...

We are GW faculty who were present at the pro-Palestinian protest on the GW campus. We observed it first hand. We saw GW students engaging in peaceful and nonviolent demonstrations.

oh i'm still grateful for your work. this is just a side note. a good foil to remember what it was all for.
Hey, look, yet another campus settling this peacefully. It's almost like the university presidents that called in armed police to their campuses to handle their own students made an incredibly stupid mistake and should be forever banned from leading an educational institution.
It won't get the attention it deserves because it happened here and it's decidedly un-sensational, but the UWM administration's response to our student encampment is an object lesson in the virtues of restraint and non-escalation, and should be a national model
Protesters have until Tuesday morning to take down the tents. They also agreed not to disrupt commencement, which will be held May 19.
