Around 30 protesters and hecklers here in the free speech area tonight. Curfew is in 15 minutes (reportedly, state police were fairly chill about curfew yesterday, but did make the few people still here move across Lexington).
Someone is tempting ISP troopers with a donut on a fishing pole.
I am grateful to Ezra Klein for demonstrating over and over how liberals got us here. The constant appeal to the right by throwing away both principles and the most marginalized. Constantly coming around to an issue too late & only after you’ve helped destroy actual opposition. He’s a case study.

You can extinguish tear gas canisters!
Wearing gloves, submerge the canister in a wide-mouthed water jug containing baking soda, dish soap, and/or vegetable oil—3 tablespoons of each per liter of water.
Cover the top with one hand, just enough to keep the gas from getting out, and shake the jug.
Barnard said it called police to evacuate a pro-Palestine sit in after a bomb threat. But police were there before the threat came in — and no one told students or the public that the threat was against protesters — who were blamed for putting campus at risk theintercept.com/2025/04/24/b...
SCOOP: The Trump admin appears to be going into a visa database to quietly change students' immigration status. It's coming entirely by surprise — setting students up to be detained without warning.
