I’m told this is a real letter. It basically says, “We’ll destroy Columbia unless you destroy it first.”

I'm not sure it will be apparent to outsiders how many of these items are basically grievances from extremist alumni group chats, translated directly into federal policy, just as with the detention of Mahmoud Khalil. bsky.app/profile/jame...

ADL is glazing Elon Musk, a white nationalist oligarch, because Musk supports Israel.

ADL doesn't care about his salute. ADL doesn't care that Musk thinks that Jewish people control the world.

The Israel Defense League is a fucking joke.

Obviously it was a Nazi salute. Source: I have seen Nazi salutes, and to my eye, that was a fuckin’ Nazi salute.

ADL does nazi salute apologia now.
A screenshot of a tweet from ADL's official account, posted on January 20, 2025, at 4:52 PM. The tweet discusses the political climate, urging people to give grace and the benefit of the doubt. It mentions that Elon Musk made an awkward gesture in enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, acknowledging heightened sensitivities. The message calls for unity, healing, and taking a breath during tense times.

Powerless college students must be suspended for criticizing Israel. But Elon Musk, one of the wealthiest people on the planet & now firmly ensconced in power? A "delicate moment." "An awkward gesture."
This is a delicate moment. It's a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety. It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge. In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new beginning. Let's hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead.

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.
The image is from a "Transparency Center" document and lists guidelines regarding acceptable and prohibited content for insults. It mentions: 1. Insults about: Character, such as cowardice, dishonesty, criminality, and sexual promiscuity or immorality. Mental characteristics, including but not limited to accusations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, as well as unsupported comparisons among politically correct (PC) groups based on inherent intellectual traits. 2. Highlighted section: The document allows allegations of mental illness or abnormality when tied to gender or sexual orientation, referencing political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality. It also acknowledges the non-serious use of terms like "weird."

JFC, Judge Cannon actually enjoined release of the Special Counsel report — which is mandated by statute! — and purports to keep injunction in place for three days after the 11th Circuit rules on a similar motion.
