Day by day I still read a trickle of stories about this or that campus encampment being full-on raided by the cops

I’m not doing the research just now to pull this together, as this is your thread, but I have noticed two things: some “solidarity encampments” are still there until cleared out, and that the clearing out process verges on the savage.

My print news sources are Los Angeles Times and DU, with MSNBC on the side. MSNBC is not paying attention to this — after all, they have Trump’s trial.
