It's not great when Europeans are making fun of US speech laws for being too restrictive.

Trump previously directed the Civil Rights office to adopt these definitions back in 2019, so it was already somewhat in effect, but this would make it permanent. I suppose my employer will not appreciate me continuing to wear my, "Jews did 9/11/ Jews killed Christ" T-shirts going forward.

A Statement From the Pulitzer Prize Board

As we gather to consider the nation’s finest and most courageous journalism, the Pulitzer Prize Board would like to recognize the tireless efforts of student journalists across our nation’s college campuses, who are covering protests and unrest in the face of great personal and academic risk. We would also like to acknowledge the extraordinary real-time reporting of student journalists at Columbia University, where the Pulitzer Prizes are housed, as the New York Police Department was called onto campus on Tuesday night. In the spirit of press freedom, these students worked to document a major national news event under difficult and dangerous circumstances and at risk of arrest.

North of 30,000 innocent people slaughtered by Israel and a couple of million people being actively starved by Israel.


But some Jewish kid picked a fight and got an owie. Stop the press! Headlines!

You'd slaughter me if I advocated for a trans kid with this level of misinformation.

She was inadvertently kicked after getting on the ground in a rowdy crowd.

Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

In my defense the chyron does not say "recounts being inadvertently kicked"

Edit: I actually listened to this (her part starts at 55 seconds in) and she does not say anything about it being inadvertent. That appears to be a word you added to her story.

they sent in an army of cops to kick out the UPenn students this morning. literally reminded me of 'bulls on parade'. i'm pretty sure this happened b/c a jewish frat was vandalized and the governor of PA had enough. he's also jewish.

i'm fine with students camping on campus. i'm not fine with them vandalizing frats b/c they are jewish. the police response was way over the top.
