On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

Some of the most boring music I've ever heard. Some of the worst tattoos anyone has ever seen. And now grotesque levels of cowardice. It's a great day to be an Ed Sheeran hater. Vindicated.
A screenshot of part of Macklemore's statement, which says: Ed was in a fucked up position. He knew it. His typical apolitical stance was being challenged in a way it never had been before. He told me that the words “Free Palestine” and the image of the Palestinian flag were hurtful to a lot of people he spoke with. I told him that if those words were more offensive than tens of thousands of Palestinian children being killed by Israel, then there was a fundamental disconnect between where those people stood and where I stood. But he couldn’t get past his public facing, “I don’t take sides."

So relieved to be handed a concrete reason to hate that Ed Sheeran guy. Backfilling my hatred of the Ed Sheeran

After new polling shows Democrats in all six of the first 2028 primary states overwhelmingly in support of sanctioning & cutting weapons to Israel, Hakeem Jeffries elevates one of the most pro-Israel Democrats in Congress to lead the Middle East and North Africa Subcommittee:
Moskowitz personal account tweet:

Thank you to 
@RepJeffries
 and 
@RepGregoryMeeks
 for this important responsibility to help lead Democrats policy in the Middle East and North Africa on the Foreign Affairs Committee.

Quoting of his official House account:
I’m honored to be named Ranking Member of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Middle East and North Africa.

At a moment of enormous change across the region, I’ll work to strengthen America’s relationships with Israel and our Gulf allies, expand regional peace, advance American diplomacy, and ensure our foreign policy is grounded in strength, security, and reality. I’m ready to get to work.

BREAKING: We're suing Texas A&M over the university system’s unconstitutional censorship policy. Administrators are canceling or restricting courses that discuss race, gender, and sexual orientation. Public universities are meant for sharing knowledge — not banning it.

Here's a story was made for you. In Florida of course. An 85-year-old man was arrested after allegedly street racing at over 100 mph in a sports car while smoking a cigarillo. When confronted, he reportedly told police he was "having a little ride in my favorite car." local12.com/news/nation-...

Fortunately the Pistons are no longer so terrible that fans are asking "Should the pistons kill 5 of their players to initiate a disaster draft? (Hypothetical)." But what a thrill ride this would be!

So many people focused on Bari Weiss asking to make protesters look more violent and glossing over Pelley admitting they’d already dug deep for the most violent protester footage they could find. His interview is more of an indictment of corporate media than many want to admit.

Can't tell you how many members of Congress who *at best* had nothing to say when I asked about the Minab girls school attack. There is a profanely cold detachment inside Capitol Hill, a mode completely unrecognizable to common human decency I wish I could properly convey to you.

I need to watch this cause I think I really enjoy actors playing dual roles in the same film. Jordan, Wagner Moura, Tilda Swinton, and Robert Pattinson (incredible in a very mediocre movie) all blew me away by doing this last year! Clearly I am ready for Orphan Black.

Wild how political alliance with Zionism sweeps all sorts of wild statements about Jews under the table
Kirk said that Jewish people control “not just the colleges; it’s the nonprofits, it’s the movies, it’s Hollywood, it’s all of it.” Kirk also said ”the number one funding mechanism of radical, open border, neoliberal, quasi-Marxist policies, cultural institutions, and nonprofits" is “Jewish donors.” Claims that wealthy Jewish people and donors control major institutions and Hollywood are common antisemitic tropes.

One of the many bitter pills to swallow is that there will be not one single consequence for Jerry Seinfeld basically complimenting the KKK and equating them to the phrase Free Palestine. There will be little, if any, media pushback. It’s terrible.
