Student anti-war protesters at U.S. college campuses are digging in and vowing to keep their demonstrations going, some universities moved to shut down encampments after reports of antisemitic activity among the protesters. Police in riot gear cleared an encampment on the campus of Northeastern University in Boston on Saturday. Several dozen students shouted and booed at them from a distance, but the scene was otherwise not confrontational. The school said in a statement that the demonstration, which began two days ago, had become “infiltrated by professional organizers” with no affiliation to the school and protesters had used antisemitic slurs. The University of Pennsylvania took similar action Friday.

The Native Youth Olympics in Anchorage, Alaska, is a three-day celebration of Indigenous culture in the form of games that mimic hunting and survival techniques that Alaska Natives in the Arctic region have relied on for thousands of years. The games are essentially the state competition for students competing in events like the scissor broad jump, which emulates jumping from one ice floe in the water to the next, and the Indian stick pull, a game of strength resembling what it feels like to pull a seal from the ocean. The games are intended to help preserve Alaska Native culture and teach young people how difficult life used to be.

Residents began sifting through the rubble after a tornado plowed through suburban Omaha, Nebraska, demolishing homes and businesses as it moved for miles through farmland and into subdivisions. People gathered Saturday morning in the streets in the Elkhorn area of Omaha amid the scattered remains of the homes, and Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen planned to tour the area later in the day. Some injuries were reported. But there were no immediate reports of fatalities as multiple tornadoes were reported in Nebraska and Iowa. The most destructive storm moved from a largely rural area into the suburbs of Omaha, a city of 485,000 people. The National Weather Service forecast for Saturday says tornadoes are possible in parts of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas.

Sean “Diddy” Combs has pushed back against a woman’s lawsuit that accused him of sexual assault. Combs’ lawyers filed a motion Friday to dismiss some claims that were not under law when the alleged incident occurred. The motion claims he cannot be sued because certain laws didn’t exist when Joi Dickerson-Neal made the allegations against him in 1991. The music mogul’s lawyers want certain statutes from Dickerson-Neal’s claims such as revenge porn and human trafficking to be dismissed with prejudice. In a filing last year, she says Combs “intentionally drugged” her, then brought her home and sexually assaulted her after a date in Harlem when she was a 19-year-old college student.
