Painting the anti war protests as inherently violent in order to justify cracking down on speech you disagree with is a hell of a thing for a 1A advocate to do
Columbia / Barnard Hillel, the largest Jewish organization at the university, has issued a statement saying it does not believe Jewish students should leave campus:
@1AMorey
You’ve all been arguing for a decade that we MUST allow MAGA to do what they wish on campus because viewpoint diversity and free speech. That they don’t have the numbers to set up encampments is their problem
@amyslanchik
@Starbucks
One would have thought you would have done your due diligence before you got her fired. This is embarrassing for you but it is infuriating for anyone with half a conscience
VIDEO: While encampment leader and pro-Israel protester are having a heated conversation someone runs up and pepper sprays the pro-Palestinian protester.
I’m not sure if ppl just have me tuned out at this point but I could use some solidarity here. My wife’s already been doxxed by Stoolies. Smith slanderously telling her millions of listeners/followers that I’m dangerous and a harasser could put me and my wife in danger
But if
@KayceSmith

@JackMacCFB
want to to talk about real harassment we can talk about how your fans have doxxed my wife. Want to have that conversation? Or are you just going to take shots from your ivory tower?

@samhaselby
The student journalists on the ground thoroughly debunked the idea of outside agitators last night. It’s telling a free speech advocate is continuing to lie about the situation
I'm from a rural area. Family and friends own guns/shoot/hunt. This article pretty well sums up what most country folk like us think of Loesch and the NRA.

The only source saying the barista apologized was the police chief. Amy Slanchik, the reporter, told me that she had no interest in the barista’s side of the story but would maybe listen to the barista if the barista reached out to her
Too many online socialists replying to this equate solidarity with doing whatever the union leadership says. As socialists we should be out discussing socialist ideas with striking workers. If that’s controversial in your eyes you’re probably going to be more comfortable as a Dem
What is the “Stand-Up Strike” strategy? Is it effective? Why didn’t

leadership call on all 150,000 auto workers to strike together? Why hasn’t the union struck at the most profitable plants, like those that produce the F-150 and Silverado? Will the
I’m not sure if anyone’s made this connection yet but what Reese says here, for me, has echoes of when Muhammad Ali said “…I don’t have to be what you want me to be. I’m free to be what I want.” 60 years later and Black athletes still have to drive that point home
"I'm too hood, I'm too ghetto. Y'all told me that all year. But when other people do it, y'all don't say nothing. So this is for the girls that look like me."

Impartial?! She basically copy and pasted the cops’ statements and left it at that. Did she interview the worker who was fired? Case in point, the article made sure to mention how the cops were working on Thanksgiving but completely ignored the fact that the baristas were too!
@The_Law_Boy
@1AMorey
She openly cheered the arrests at the time. FIRE has so far refused to comment on the arrests so this must be their official position. In FIRE’s eyes the arrests are legitimate
Students do appear to be in violation of valid, neutrally-applied college policy. (We're checking.) Students have said they are ok being arrested. If they elect to engage in civil disobedience, they can expect consequences like suspension or arrest.
I’ve not seen so many people go to bat for an accused rapist since Barstool fans flooded my mentions when I pointed out that Dave Portnoy has multiple accusations of sexual assault against him
Andrew Tate/Dave Portnoy/ Russell Brand are bad people. So are people that defend them
Dave Portnoy, founder and owner of Barstool Sports, has been credibly accused by several women of violent sexual assault. He makes rape “jokes” He’s a massive Trump supporter
He’s also full of shit and is just jumping on the Caitlin Clark hype train to whitewash his own history
@Omaymam_94
@CHSommers
She classified herself as such but it is clear from her work that she is not. Stop gaslighting people who have been working to oppose the far right for years. You’re enabling them.
2 librarians have been fired after they displayed an autism symbol that says “We all think differently” and a Maya Angelo quote, “In diversity there is beauty and strength.”
Someone reported the employees to officials, mistaking it as a Pride symbol.

Free speech absolutists are losing their minds! Of course Alex also justified and celebrated the cops violently attacking the Columbia protest. Who didn’t keep it peaceful exactly, Alex?
Don’t tread on me. Tread on these students I disagree with
Tony Dungy used his massive platform to promote a months long debunked transphobic hoax but right wing sports media is trying to make the subsequent criticism into a freedom of religion thing. This is the playbook that American Christians too often use to justify their bigotry
In trying to cancel
@TonyDungy
are y’all saying Christians, Muslims & Jews who hold to the historic, orthodox beliefs of their faith are no longer welcome in mainstream society? If we can tolerate working with & respecting those w/different beliefs, then u must tolerate us!

Believe it or not a lot of Americans do care about the funding sources of a far right publication which calls for a second civil war and endorses Roy Moore and also which has deep ties to a sitting Republican Senator. The question is why don't you?
And to the accusation of harassment I will just reiterate that I do not feel bad about criticizing those in power and those with large platforms who use that power or platform to push dangerous ideologies. That includes right wing sports media
@EWErickson
Or maybe people just don’t think a conspiracy theorist being asked about conspiracy theories the day after a massacre fueled by conspiracy theories was a good idea.
This week’s episode of Unnecessary Roughness put me on their Shit List because they want to feel normal in their football watching and don’t want to be reminded of the world outside their little bubble. Too bad

So…she’s embarrassing to your project, says too much of the quiet parts out loud, and you’re attempting to distance yourself from her
Good luck
@jasonfurman
So the people responsible for harassing and doxing students are walking it back when they realize what their allies are doing with the information given to them. You all are complicit
Kshama Sawant was derided by online socialists for “starting a podcast.” This is said “podcast.” There is absolutely no one else out there giving this perspective on striking workers. Congrats
@OnStrikeShow
. I’m looking forward to more of this!
We met California Democrat
@RoKhanna
on the
@UAW
picket line. Khanna was among many Democrats who voted to break a railroad strike last December. Now he wants photo ops with striking auto workers.
Workers need leaders who fight for us, not ones who pay lip service & stab us in

I think giving them credit on the legal front even overstates their impact. One or two token cases while they purposely spread white wing disinformation is doing nothing but providing cover for their role in the culture war

@epanitch
She admitted that she didn’t care about cop city. She’s not mad about the destruction of property per se, as evidenced by the below tweet, but by capital. Woods don’t make money so she doesn’t care
@SayruhHoward
As for the placement of Cop city, I am sorry to say I wasn’t paying enough attention when it was debated to know whether it was a good idea or not. Obviously it is a very contentious issue. No one should have been killed. I’m concerned that there was no bodycam. 4/5, I think
The Proud Boys are making national headlines again. Here’s your reminder that Barstool’s producer for Unnecessary Roughness is known as Proud Boy Jack. When asked his relationship to the Proud Boys Jack’s official answer to me was, “No comment.”
We're talking about the Proud Boys street gang again, so here's a thread of our coverage, starting with their violent plots at political rallies.
These guys want endorsement from govt and police. They want to hurt people and get away with it. And they do
The MAGA students retained a Republican pr firm and then hours later this article appeared , the right wing author made the right wing media rounds today, and now the narrative is trying to shift towards the students. How much were you paid to peddle this shit
@robbysoave
?
Reminder that Barstool once called for drivers to “murder” BLM protesters by hitting them with cars. Instead of issuing an apology or even an explanation they simply deleted the blog post like fucking cowards
I have reflected & wanted to apologize for posts during the recent Israel/Hamas fighting that suggested Israel is committing “genocide”. It’s not accurate, it’s inflammatory, disrespectful & is being used to justify antisemitism here & abroad. Now is the time to avoid hyperbole.
This team got rid of all the players who knelt during the national anthem last season and re-signed Barstool players who engaged in racist bullying of a Black teammate
Many teams/ppl will use the horror of the NWSL as cover to distract from their own failures
They brag throughout the show about how politics popular their act is. Millions of listeners, millions of followers. Yet a nobody with less than 800 followers, published in outlets they’ll never read, is somehow harassing them. It’s ludicrous
If you’re in the south and ordering biscuits and gravy why would you go to a restaurant that pours the gravy out of a can? Barstool has no taste in food either
