Princeton’s prejudicial prosecution of the 13 who occupied Clio Hall for 🇵🇸 continues. Because I personally held ground and refused to plead guilty, the courts are forcing 12 comrades who would have had their cases dismissed to stand trial too.

absolute dereliction of duty and of solidarity
UCLA's AI-loving comp lit prof now says of her AI use, "I feel more empowered by this process. I am more of a teacher than I’ve ever been” and that her use of AI--which will include having it literally come up with the fucking assignments-- is “highly pedagogical and highly responsible.”

Biden has yet to pardon anyone on federal death row, yet to pardon Steven Donzinger, but he has pardoned his son and this insult-to-life judge who made millions sending kids to juvie.
No hell could be hot enough, no punishment too severe for Joe Biden.

Kyle Rittenhouse is allowed to get away with murder. Daniel Penny is allowed to get away with murder. Cops get away with murder all the time. The people pearl clutching about this CEO killing are really concerned with who was killed, not the act of killing.

freedom of the press and freedom to protest are fundamentally the same struggle
A student reporter at Stanford embedded with pro-Palestinian protesters. Cops arrested him alongside them, which he knew was a risk.
What he didn't expect: Stanford pushing prosecutors to charge him criminally with burglary, vandalism, and conspiracy—all felonies. www.cjr.org/getting-the-...

Should a Student Reporter Face Prosecution for Embedding with Protesters?
Dilan Gohill won an award for his work at the Stanford Daily, but his coverage of campus protests has set university officials against him.

Anne in 2002 you called for the killing of Palestinian journalists for the crime of simply making Israel and the US look bad. This year Israel, consistent with your position, has killed 150+ journalists in Gaza. Is it your opinion that killing Palestinian journalists “suppresses real journalism”?
