Additionally I will be in Collaborate from 11am to 12pm today (Friday, June 12) for a “Virtual Office Session,” but this is completely optional, and I will be there to answer any questions about the assignments distributed last evening.

p.s. One final point, last night I mentioned that protesters and their allies had seized a momentarily abandoned police station in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle, Washington.
Below is a Seattle Times article about this “autonomous zone.” This may become an interesting case study to follow throughout the summer session to see what happens to this zone as a way to trace the interaction between social movements and “the State” (especially US internal security apparatus – police, intelligence, and military).
See:
Bush, Evan. 2020. “Welcome to the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, where Seattle protesters gather without police.” Seattle Times. June 11. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/welcome-to-the-capitol-hill-autonomous-zone-where-seattle-protesters-gather-without-police/ (Accessed 06/12/2020).
Note: This is not an assigned reading, it just might be of interest to some, or all, of you.
