What a world we live in now.

“Nessel and the FBI raided several protesters’ homes in late April. Several students said they noticed an uptick in the number of people tailing them since raids. In some cases, they have cussed and threatened students who confront them, several organizers who have been followed said. In one instance, someone followed a small group from a student meeting to a bar, and sat down at an adjacent table and began to eavesdrop and record them.

“The way that the university is now responding to student activism with a massive expansion of surveillance, through plain clothes cops, and proliferation of security cameras, is very alarming,” MacKeen-Shapiro said.”
