The past spring semester for universities across the United States was marked with "Gaza Solidarity Encampments" and pro-Palestinian and pro-Hamas protests largely at commencements – that is, if commencement wasn't canceled completely due to demonstrators – but now, the protests appear to have reached a new phase, potentially foreshadowing what is to come for America this summer.
Popping up on city property
A pro-Palestinian encampment popped up in Clark Park in West Philadelphia this week, according to local outlet 6ABC, marking the first encampment on city property.
On the other side of the country, hundreds of University of California, Santa Cruz employees walked off their jobs this week after the United Auto Workers Local 4811, a UC system-wide union that represents 42,000 graduate student teaching assistants and other employees, voted to strike over alleged free speech violations related to how the system leaders cracked down on pro-Palestinian protests on campus, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The union authorized a strike with 2,000 employees at UC Santa Cruz through June 30, Inside Higher Ed reported, and union officials followed through Thursday with their warning to order strikes on other campuses if university officials did not capitulate to their demands.
The union board on Thursday announced on X, that it called on workers at the UCLA and UC Davis to strike starting on Tuesday, May 28. That same day, pro-Palestinian activists erected barricades and built another encampment at UCLA, while the school's chancellor testified before Congress about antisemitism on campus, according to ABC 7.
The strike comes with a few weeks left before finals and commencement, which is in mid-June at all three schools.

Terrorists gotta terrorize.
I hope they burn the places down. Let the democrat voters feel the heat of their decision to vote for democrats. It would be a blessing if the protesters burned the universities to the ground. They are nothing but brainwashing centers.
More like there's a power vacuum in the U.S. The numbers are not really there in the U.S. (except for Dearborn and Minneapolis). But no one is in charge. The time is right for them to make their move.
The leftist insects were squashed in the Spring, 2020, and haven’t returned. They’re hiding in the big city ghettos.
The PBS Frontline documentary, “Crisis on Campus,” examines how university leaders, some of whom have faced congressional hearings, navigated the challenges of responding to heated rhetoric and division on their campuses and balancing free speech with the need to prevent harassment and discrimination.
