Police sweep onto UCLA campus, remove pro-Palestinian encampment

UCLA protest crack downPolice in riot gear swept onto the UCLA campus Thursday and tore down makeshift barricades and a pro-Palestinian encampment that had drawn hundreds of protesters and was attacked by counterprotesters earlier this week.

The predawn crackdown at UCLA marked the latest flashpoint for protests scattered across U.S. colleges amid mounting anger over Israel's war in Gaza and growing impatience on the part of school administrators to allow disruptions they say make their campuses unsafe.

At UCLA, officers made several arrests and scuffled with student demonstrators who had enforced a strict code of no violence throughout a protest that drew several hundred people. By dawn, police had cleared the plaza of the tents and plywood walls that had formed the camp for a week, but a smaller group of protesters remained assembled just outside that area.

United Methodist Church lifts bans on LGBTQ clergy and same-sex weddings

US Methodist Church lifts ban on same sex marriage and LGBTQ clergy

The United Methodist Church, one of the largest Protestant denominations in the U.S., has voted to repeal its ban on LGBTQ clergy as well as prohibitions on its' ministers from officiating at same-sex weddings.

Delegates overwhelmingly approved the changes, 692 to 51, during the United Methodist Church's General Conference.

The meeting is taking place this week in Charlotte, N.C. after the pandemic delayed the 2020 General Conference where these decisions has been slated to take place.

The tone of the Charlotte meeting has been decidedly upbeat, in sharp contrast with the last, highly contentious global meeting back in 2019, when heated floor debates left many feeling hurt.

UCLA chancellor condemns ‘instigators’ who attacked pro-Palestinian camp on campus

UCLA attack on protestersThe University of California in Los Angeles was reeling on Wednesday following a late-night violent attack by counter-demonstrators on a pro-Palestinian protest encampment, as the state’s governor condemned a slow response from law enforcement to some of the worst violence seen since students across the US intensified their protests in support of Gaza.

As the Los Angeles mayor called the violence “abhorrent” and California’s governor said he was monitoring the situation, UCLA announced it was cancelling all classes on Wednesday “due to the distress caused by the violence that took place on Royce Quad late last night”.

Arizona Senate votes to repeal near-total 1864 abortion ban

ov. Ducey signs abortion bill

Arizona lawmakers took a significant step Wednesday toward blocking a Civil War-era abortion ban, after state senators repealed the measure the Arizona Supreme Court said last month could stand.

The vote fell largely on party lines, with two Republican state senators, Sen. Shawnna Bolick and Senate President Pro Tempore T.J. Shope, breaking from the chamber's GOP majority to back repealing the near-total ban.

Along with banning abortions in all situations except life-threatening medical emergencies, the nineteenth century law imposes prison terms for doctors and others who aid in an abortion.

The repeal will head to Gov. Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, for her signature. As the Senate was voting, Hobbs told reporters earlier in the day that she would sign it “as soon as it gets to my desk.”

Demonstrators breach barriers, clash at UCLA as campus protests multiply: Updates

Campus protests spread

"Physical altercations" occurred Sunday on the UCLA campus when demonstrators breached a security barrier set up to keep people protesting the Israeli war in Gaza separate from counterprotesters, the school said in a statement.

The clash came one day after arrests on at least four universities as demonstrations and days-long encampments in opposition to the war swept across the nation's college campuses. Students are calling for a cease-fire and want their schools to stop investing in Israeli firms that are involved with or profit from Israel's war against Hamas.

The protesters also want the U.S. to halt military aid to Israel's war effort.

“UCLA has a long history of being a place of peaceful protest, and we are heartbroken about the violence that broke out,” the school's vice chancellor for strategic communications, Mary Osako, said in a statement.
