Pro-Palestinian protesters have set up encampments at two more British Columbia universities, as a wave of demonstrations at North American post-secondary institutions continued to spread.

The End?
UCLA 🚨: It’s 0544 , the encampment is now in complete police control. Handful of protestors remain. The encampment is officially over.
It’s morning, birds chirping, I am signing off. Thanks for all the new followers, and all the pages/friends/colleagues who shared my work. 🫡 pic.twitter.com/FlJJQDs65O
