Quick Glance: Wave of Pro-Palestinian Protests at US Universities
  • The number of pro-Palestinian student protests at American universities is increasing as the unrest in Gaza continues. Despite disciplinary measures and police interventions, the demonstrations persist. Protesters have set up encampments on more than a dozen campuses, urging universities to divest from companies profiting from the Israeli occupation.

  • Police in New York arrested over 100 pro-Palestinian demonstrators at New York University on Monday night, following the establishment of an encampment earlier that day outside the Stern School of Business.

  • The ongoing protests have garnered strong condemnation from lawmakers. On Wednesday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott criticized a protest at the University of Texas in Austin. The White House condemned antisemitism on college campuses in a statement regarding Passover on Sunday, refraining from specifying particular institutions or incidents.

Quick Glance: Legal Action Taken Against Tesla for Inadequate Warning in Employee Layoffs
  • A former employee filed a lawsuit against Tesla Inc., alleging that the company's decision to lay off about 10% of its global workforce violated the law by not providing the required advance notice.

Why Harvey Weinstein's Rape Conviction Was Overturned
Quick Glance: New York Overturns Harvey Weinstein's 2020 Rape Conviction
  • New York's highest court overturned Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction, citing prejudicial rulings by the judge in the landmark #MeToo trial.

  • The State Court of Appeals ruling reopens a painful chapter in America's reckoning with sexual misconduct by powerful figures, ordering a new trial where his accusers might have to relive their traumas.

  • Weinstein, 72, has been serving a 23-year sentence in a New York prison following his conviction, but will remain imprisoned due to another rape conviction in Los Angeles in 2022.

  • This decision marks another setback for #MeToo, following the US Supreme Court's refusal to hear an appeal in the Bill Cosby case, where his sexual assault conviction was overturned by a Pennsylvania court.

Quick Glance: Rescuing Stranded Sea Otter Pups with Surrogate Moms in California Aquarium
  • Annually, approximately 10 to 15 stranded sea otter pups are discovered along the California coastline, often a result of storms causing separation between mother and offspring.

  • Through a collaboration between the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach and the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the pups are connected with surrogate sea otter mothers to impart crucial skills and facilitate their return to the wilderness.

  • Program manager Megan Smylie details how the adult surrogate mother will impart behaviors to the pups that humans are incapable of teaching, such as foraging, prey manipulation, and shell opening.

  • Having already saved eight stranded pups, the two aquariums aspire for additional organizations to join the initiative in boosting the wild population and safeguarding the ecosystem of the Californian coast.
