Here is the grad speech that NYU is now withholding the student's diploma for: "As I search my heart today in addressing you all…the only thing that is appropriate to say in this time and to a group this large is a recognition of the atrocities currently happening in Palestine."

Hell yes, student Rumeysa Ozturk has been freed by order of a judge after she was illegally swept from the street by ICE Gestapo. This should’ve never happened. I hope she she sues.

Hasan: yeah so like- Ethan: (furious) no no no no no [incoherent babbling] you fucking *blows raspberry* *arm pit farts* Hasan: alright yeah so like

Hasan tried so hard to be charitable by calling the debate "productive." Ethan couldn't rise to the occasion. Petty, passive aggressive and pathetic to the end.

Hasan really thought it was going to be a debate on geopolitical issues, even opening with establishing what the definition of zionism is, before being asked to defend the idubbz Fortnite dance

Hasan is controlling his temperature incredibly well. He's locked in. Ethan Klein on the other hand is delaminating by the minute. Clearly trying to bait Hasan into a bannable anti-Semitic gotcha and in the process conceding how unhinged he has become.

The Hasan Piker/Ethan Klein debate made it 2 minutes before Ethan took it off the rails to petty asides, jabs and grievances. This will be a surprise to absolute nobody.

Mohsen Mahdawi ✊ U.S. District Court Judge Geoffrey Crawford ordered Mahdawi to be released from detention Wednesday morning, more than two weeks after he was arrested by ICE at his citizenship appointment in Vermont. Mahdawi's lawyers say his arrest was unconstitutional

WATCH: Israeli war criminal Itamar Ben-Gvir can't handle confrontation from protestors at the US Capitol. As minister of "National Security," Ben-Gvir has openly endorsed the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and intentionally bombs civilians, aid, and civilian infrastructure.

I don't know how Julian Nubaby opened up a skeet to type his thoughts, but it would've been rude not to share them.

“Our courts are NOT FOR SALE!” — Judge Susan Crawford

This is the op-ed Rumeysa Ozturk co-wrote in 2024 criticizing the Tufts administration’s response to student demands for action regarding Gaza and Israel. It is unquestionably speech protected by the First Amendment. /1 www.tuftsdaily.com/article/2024...

Reminder: the First Amendment protects everyone who resides in our country. It doesn't matter if you have a green card or a visa or if you're undocumented. The Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that any person residing in the United States, regardless of status, is entitled to 1A protections.

DNI Gabbard testified she maintains her "First Amendment rights" to post comments through personal accounts regarding views that might be different from her official work positions. Yet law firms & lawyers (incl me) are being targeted by Administration for excercising their 1st Amendment rights. 🤦‍♂️

No words. Just months ago, the Israeli government put out a hit list of six journalists. Hossam Shabat was one of them. Today, they killed him.

Julian Nubaby came to live with us five years ago today. He took a bit to warm up, but after that he rarely left our side. In December, Jules was diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer. He's comfy but time is short. I'm so glad he was able to spend this anniversary with us. Love you, Jules.

Before the vote, Dick Durbin turned off his phone and locked his office door to stop constituents from talking to him about doing the right thing. Because Dick thinks it's better to ask for forgiveness. He thinks his constituents have short memories. I can't wait to see them prove him wrong.

One outcome of today's vote is that people will cease looking to Schumer (Durbin, etc) for leadership and see them as the threats that they are. Too bad there isn't a federal recall system.
