Common Dreams:
"Weeks after the Rutgers University Senate passed a resolution to form a 'mutual defense compact' with other Big Ten schools, at least four other schools have pushed forward their own proposals. ... aiming to band together with other universities to protect from the Trump administration's attacks on academic freedom and free speech.
 
Labor unions, Palestinian rights groups, and other advocacy groups on Thursday held rallies and events to mark the Day of Action for Higher Education, with students and faculty at more than 150 schools demonstrating against President Donald Trump's funding cuts; attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives; targeting of academic freedom; and deportation operations in which a number of student organizers have been rounded up in recent weeks. ...

Like the mutual defense compact proposal that's now gained traction at several schools, the day of action is partially a response to Trump's demand that universities collaborate with the administration to punish students who took part in nationwide Palestinian solidarity protests last year."

-->Don't look to the NY Times to cover student resistance to Turmp's fascist aspirations. The fact that colleges are now resisting Trump is big news, but not to the Empire's newspaper.

Drop Site:
"On March 25, Francine Katsoudas, an executive at an American multinational digital communications technology conglomerate, Cisco, announced new 'guardrails' restricting internal discussions and debates on the Middle East—and specifically on Palestine. 'Some topics are just simply too hard, too painful, too divisive, and they take our focus away from our ability to drive Cisco business, and one example specifically would be the ongoing conflict in the Middle East,' Katsoudas said in a company-wide call. 'We have made the decision that this topic cannot be discussed, cannot be debated in company or organization-wide meetings,' she added.

Hours after the group call with Katsoudas, an employee who was outspoken on Palestine was fired. The reason given for termination, they described to Drop Site, was that their 'comments contribute to a harmful work environment and harms other employees'—but that the company added it was not due to her 'personal viewpoint.' They provided Drop Site with an HR email and notes corroborating their account, but requested anonymity to minimize risk to their future employment and general safety. A week later, Cisco deleted the largest pro-Palestine WebEx chat room, Bridge To Humanity (B2H), and its associated educational website. Cisco did not respond to a request for comment."

-->There is no free speech for Cisco employees. Why wouldn't more US media carry this story of corporate censorship?

Common Dreams:
"With Nationwide Actions on Saturday, Anti-Trump Protests Show No Sign of Slowing Down. Events on Saturday included marches as well as direct community-oriented actions, including neighborhood cleanups and food drives.

Two weeks after millions of people attended 'Hands Off' protests across the United States, expressing outrage over President Donald Trump's unlawful deportation operation, abandonment of due process for hundreds of migrants, and spending cuts in the interest of enriching the wealthiest Americans, organizers with the '50501' movement called for 11 million people to take to the streets again on Saturday—and early reports suggested the public remains mobilized against the administration.
 
With Trump intensifying his attacks on federal workers, the environment, freedom of speech, and migrants in recent weeks, organizers said hundreds of events were planned on Saturday—and the protests reflected the wide array of policies that have left Americans angry and fearful about who could be victimized next by the administration."

-->Always aware the rich people don't like rallies, The NYT hasn't been covering these rallies so much. And when the newspaper does, it is more about Bernie Sanders than about his egalitarian ideas.
