    And yet the police reaction has been out of control. These images are from Indiana University (my alma mater, so I’ve been taking a special interest):

    Meanwhile, this is the exact same location in 1991 when students protested the Gulf War. I was only in middle school, but I was still there, cooking and doing other things around the camp. The camp was there for 45 days. No one took it down.

      I love that the pictures I keep seeing come out of these protests are just young nerdy kids. I’d prefer they weren’t being manhandled by fucking commandoes, but the imagery really conveys the reality vs. the “outside agitators” narrative.
