As the police crackdown [18] on the Gaza protests [19] continues coast [20]-to [38]-coast [21]—drawing concern [22] from Amnesty International—Bill Weinberg notes that this repression comes in the month marking the 54th anniversary of slayings of student protesters [23] at Kent State University [24] in Ohio and Jackson State [25]University [25] in Mississippi [26]. With police now unleashing violence on student protesters [27] in Paris [28], Amsterdam [29] and elsewhere [30] in Europe, as well as in Jordan [31] and Lebanon [32], there is an unsettling sense of deja vu. In Episode 225 [33] of the CounterVortex podcast [34], Weinberg warns that the world could be headed toward an historical moment that rhymes with May 1970.
