We’re really at the “national guard” stage of this? Really?

I’d say “don’t they remember how this ended last time” but the thing is that I bet they do and it’s exactly what they want to happen

Cotton and Hawley: Send in the National Guard to Columbia Calls for federal action at the university campus come as Monday marks the beginning of the Jewish holiday of Passover.

Remember how Cotton had such a hard on for China’s Tiananmen Square massacre that he wrote in the NY Times urging Trump to crush BLM protests in 2020 by sending in the troops.

He wants to see protestors die.

Louisiana lawmakers vote to remove lunch breaks for child workers, cut unemployment benefits A Louisiana House committee voted Thursday to repeal a law requiring employers to give child workers lunch breaks and to cut unemployment benefits — part of a push by Republicans

The denial of the status of child is necessary to both the labor and sexual exploitation of minors in exactly the same places. Christian lobbying drives both and is why the US continues to be the only UN member not to ratify the UN Convention on the rights of the child. www.nola.com/news/politic...

The Knitters were a lot of fun.

We already had MC 900 Ft Jesus. We don't need MC 900 Ft Billy Joel.

You could hand Jesse Singal concrete irrefutable proof that every single trans person in all 50 states is ecstatically happy at every moment, and he would still reject it, because he doesn't want trans people to be happy. He doesn't want them to exist.

Trump supporter wearing facemask with gun holster attached to it, with a gun in it. No really.

Man, 2020 broke some brains.

Give the big guy the Immortan Joe treatment.

Tweet from @asadabukhalil Look how the New York Times now frames pro-Palestine activism on college campuses: The New Hork Times Antisemitism on Campus Protests at Columbia Over 100 Arrested at Columbia After Pro-Palestinian Protest At least 108 protesters were in custody, the police said, after officers clad in riot gear cleared tents from a pro-Palestinian demonstration on campus. More students have arrived to show support and put up new ones. Published April 18, 2024 Updated April 19, 2024, 8:46 a.m. ET

Reminder that a lot of these students are Jewish!! And there have been countless, real instances of Islamophobia on campus but it would never get framed that way! This is sickening.

Honestly this may be the first practical and worthwhile use of a Gideon Bible 😂

Antisemitic false Rothschild quote cut from Liz Truss memoir The ex-PM's publishers apologise and agree to remove a fake quote tied to an antisemitic conspiracy theory.

The excuse that “numerous online sources have stated” the quote perhaps tells you what sort of online sources Truss uses

When Inside Higher Ed contacted Chris Rufo for a piece about him, he responded “Kindly fuck off.”

When he and his allies makes demands, just say that to them

“Cultural Marxism” is basically just the old fascist conspiracy theory known as “Judeo-Bolshevism” with its sharpest antisemitic edges sanded off. So of course Ted Cruz is using it as a weapon in Rufo’s holy war against NPR’s CEO.

Another Jewish sophomore at the university, Iris Hsiang, said it was the college - rather than her peers - that had made her feel unsafe. Her only crime, she said, was "sitting and singing on the lawns." She added that the coming commemoration of Passover, which marks Jewish freedom from slavery in Egypt, weighed on her. It was part of why she felt compelled to join the encampment. "Judaism means standing for the liberation of all people," she said. "And 'never again' means never again for anyone."

It’s cool that this is just an open secret to the point that the former Speaker of the House just casually said “yeah he got me bounced to conceal this” and it barely made a ripple

Literally got into this with a union guy who said actors could quit and find other work if they don't like it. And I'm like, "So could you, even at your paygrade and yet here you are complaining about your job you love."
