Look, people can like this guy or not like him but I mean there are prominent voices on the right that are openly advocating antisemitism and one of the president's biggest financial supporters gave a Nazi salute at his inauguration. Sure you can scrutinize this guy but 20X coverage is a choice

The Inescapable Hasan Piker

It is just wildly frustrating to see mainstream media seize so obsessively on Hasan Piker as a way to say, "oh look! Both sides have these edgy men!" There's just no sense of nuance or proportionality. (this piece is fine) nymag.com/intelligence...

3/ 100+ Americans have been held after agents questioned their citizenship. Nearly all of them were people of color. They say they were profiled — detained because of their skin color, accents or jobs. “ICE isn’t looking for criminals. They’re looking for Latinos,” one said.

2/ Federal agents have detained at least 70 children and teens who are American citizens. Some were handcuffed or zip-tied. In one instance, a 15-year-old with disabilities was handcuffed outside a school in Los Angeles when agents mistook him for an alleged gang member.

At one point in this account, the managing editor and others hide in an office because the suspended executive top has used an intern’s keycard to get into the building. A crying staff member is texting a colleague. Adds a new dimension to “newsroom drama.”

Rutgers may soon face a costly choice: Stick with Greg Schiano or pay tens of millions to move on.
