every person involved in this needs to be in prison
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.

Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.

His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

i am once again saying that if you allow polling to define rights, you don't have any real rights at all
the problem with the "trans sports participation is a loser / 80-20 issue" framing is that it ignores how it got that way. it didn't just happen out of nowhere. It's been a 5+ year campaign by Republicans to make it an 80-20 issue, and noone fought back.

what a weird thing to say
Ex-Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel spouts transphobic talking points to Bill Maher.

"Look, in seventh grade, if I had known that I could have said the word ‘They’ and got in the girls bathroom, I would have done it."
Ex-Chicago mayor rips current city leaders for focus on bathroom and locker room instead of crime, education
During HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher," former Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel blasted city leadership for failing the city on safety and educational standards.

The absolute glee some are displaying in blaming Palestinians, and people who protested on their behalf, for their own ethnic cleansing is a strategic error (obvs you target the decision maker), a political error (obvs you need those votes), and a moral error (obvs fix your hearts or die).

this is part of why all the pearl clutching shit about how "americans can't just execute people" re: Luigi fell so fucking flat. um the cops execute people every single day and brutalize other people further for noticing they did that

If Luigi joined the IDF and massacred 50,000 Palestinian children, John Fetterman would clap and cheer. If he defrauded cancer patients en masse, maybe Biden would pardon him. Could go on and on and on
"Terrorism" is a socially constructed term. If Luigi murdered a homeless Black man, the US would call him a hero. If he killed poor/sick Americans every day via insurance policy, they'd say "what about his family?" What’s happening is disgusting & anyone with a brain sees right through it
