It's very, very clear that the Kamala campaign cared more about protecting Israel than beating Trump. They wanted gen*cide more than they wanted to win.

@Katawaboo02 @Mainlysports1 @PushDemsLeft I personally hope we never have a pro Palestine president. I do hope we get one who lies and says they are to win all of ya'lls votes. Then, once in office, plays you clowns like a video game and backtracks on that.

Peter Pattakos@peterpattakos·
Unfortunately (if unsurprisingly), Case Western Reserve University’s top officials are obstinately defending University police’s actions in authorizing contractors to coat pro-Palestinian campus protesters with industrial spray paint after the protesters — who were protesting against the University’s support for Israel’s military actions in Gaza by which the homes of two million Palestinians have been destroyed and hundreds of thousands killed — refused to step away from a mural that the protesters had designed to support their message. This, even after CWRU President Eric Kaler had announced, immediately after this incident, that the spray-painting of these protesters was “disturbing,” that “no students—or any individuals—should ever be treated this way,” that the responsible officers will be “held responsible” for their “failure to intervene,” and that Kaler was “deeply sorry” these events have occurred. Instead of simply negotiating or even trying to negotiate a reasonable settlement for the obvious violation of the protester’s rights, which wouldn’t affect CWRU’s ≈$2.5B endowment or operations in the slightest, the University has doubled down in response to our lawsuit. In doing so they’ve made some especially absurd and revolting arguments, including that the painters somehow had no choice but to paint over the protesters who had “plac[ed] themselves in a line between the painters and the wall,” that the protesters therefore “consented” to being coated with the spray paint, and worst of all, that the protesters were engaged in ”threatening, intimidating, and antisemitic’ imagery, slogans, and chants.” This allegedly ”threatening, intimidating, and antisemitic’ imagery, slogans, and chants” was identified by CWRU’s lawyers as consisting of “language on [the] mural stating “Disclose, Divest, Student Led Intifada,” and “in dripping red paint,” “You can’t hide.” While the CWRU’s accusations of “antisemitism” against the protesters are to a substantial degree irrelevant to the claims at issue, we were obliged to address them and did so, briefly, as follows: “To the extent the Court is inclined to pay any attention to these false, inflammatory, and inapposite accusations, Plaintiffs would only briefly note here that the language on this mural plainly refers to political opposition to Israel’s military actions against Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank that an increasing number of nations, global institutions, and their leaders—including The United Nations, Amnesty International, Doctors without Borders, and most recently, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, described by the BBC as “the world’s leading association of genocide scholars”—unequivocally characterize as genocidal. According to a study published more than a year ago in The Lancet, one of the world’s oldest and most cited medical journals, “a conservative estimate of the death toll attributable to the current conflict in Gaza” was “up to 186,000 or more.” Notwithstanding Defendants’ xenophobic (at best) suggestion, the Arabic word “intifada” translates literally to “uprising” or “shaking off.” That any human being, let alone campus protesters in the United States of America, would (a) oppose Israel’s military actions and policies against Palestinians that leading scholars and institutions describe as genocidal, (b) call for an “uprising” against the genocidal army and occupation,” “divestment” from corporations that support the genocide, or accountability for those who support it (i.e., “you can’t hide”), or (c) evoke the image of blood in speaking out against this widespread slaughter is hardly remarkable, and does not constitute “anti-Semitism,” “harassment,” or “intimidation” by any reasonable meaning of these terms. To say that CWRU’s suggestion to the contrary reflects the lack of merit to their position in this lawsuit would be a dramatic understatement.” Thankfully, the Court denied the University’s motion to dismiss wherein it included these arguments, but to see that an institution of higher learning in this nation, let alone one of CWRU’s stature, required us to address such arguments in the first place is to witness an especially telling demonstration of how steeply civic life in the U.S. (along with the rest of the “Western World”) has declined in recent years. It’s one thing to look around at what’s happening in the world, to understand the way that corruption has taken hold of our political systems and civic institutions, to see the type of “leaders” who rise to the highest offices within this system, and to watch them more or less uniformly rubber-stamp the actions of a military-industrial-complex that’s completely out of control, including with respect to Israel’s US-backed war crimes against the Palestinians. It is however quite another thing to be an experienced practicing attorney in this great State of Ohio and see otherwise decent people and respectable attorneys at the top of our profession debasing themselves, as well as our profession and civilization, by making or endorsing these arguments – looking us in the face and telling us that two plus two is five because their politically powerful clients or constituents say so. The extent and degree to which we are seeing this happen in our courts would have been unthinkable two decades ago, or even back before 2016. (And yes of course we understand that even the best people can be overcome with delusions and make mistakes, and are certainly capable of admitting and learning from those mistakes). Which is why heading into the holidays we wish to exercise our own First Amendment rights to convey a message of hope that it’s especially important and powerful for people of good will to notice what’s happening here, name it, and resist against it in whatever meaningful way you can muster. And that it’s especially important and powerful to do this given the near death of meaningful journalism at the hands of oligarchs (the same people who own the military-industrial complex) who’ve consolidated media ownership and funneled most all public discourse on to a handful of heavily and insidiously censored online platforms that have to date managed to escape meaningful and much-needed regulation. These are the same people whose once-respectable “news” outlets who want us to believe that destroying the homeland of 2 million people is “fighting terrorism,” and who’ve been telling us all week, in unison with prominent elected officials on both sides of the supposed political divide (that is in reality undivided in its support for endless war and corruption), that the phrase “Globalize the intifada” is “antisemitic” “hate speech” that should be censored and punishable by law in the so called free and enlightened “West.” In other words, that two plus two is five; that it’s somehow not only amoral but a crime to say that good people shouldn’t do whatever they can to “rise up” globally and against the very tyranny and oppression that this nation was founded as a bulwark against. The message of hope more specifically being that no matter how heightened such contradictions become, no matter how clownish our political figures and the state of our political discourse appears, and no matter bad things get in any one place—whether in Gaza, on our college campuses, in our courts or halls of power, or in the “news”—what’s true will always be what’s true, what’s justice will always be what’s justice, as long as there are humans there will be some substantial number of us who will be able to tell the difference between what’s true, what’s just, and what’s not, and history will always be watching. And one big reason we’re so confident in this is our experience in the U.S. court system, a system that, when it works as designed, is one of the greatest systems ever devised to help a civilization ensure that truth and justice prevail. If you want to get an idea of or renewed appreciation for how this works, just take a look at the brief that our firm filed for the protesters in this CWRU case, and compare it to the ones that the University filed. Happy holidays to all from the PLF, prayers for justice and peace in 2026, and remember that you can’t have the former without the latter 🙏⚖️☮️💜

Getting cops off campus is a workplace safety issue. We cannot teach and learn in an environment where the admin allows "public safety" to pin students to the ground for filming, bars faculty mediator from the scene, and denies & delays medical attention to those injured.

Gaza has been deprived of food for over 60 days. Every day there are new images of emaciated Palestinian children starving to death. Meanwhile, if you protest against genocide, Columbia University will brutalize and hospitalize you.

i feel like everyone taking issue with the fact that he killed an ‘unrelated’ cop doesn’t understand that it wasn’t just that cop that killed his son. it is every cop who participates in the brutalization of black americans and allows others to, that killed his son.

Nypd in general have become ultra violent against pro Palestinians protesters. At Brooklyn college they punched and tazed mutiple people. One point they two officers sat on a women's on the ground who's neck was on the curb. Putting her life in danger.

From Brooklyn College: NYPD tased someone 3x, precinct cops aggressed on demonstrators without provocation. Footage circulating shows cops pushing, batoning people, only pausing and shifting focus on realizing they were advancing on a mom holding her baby begging them to stop.

You welcomed DHS onto campus, collaborated to detain and attempt to deport two students, and now have the nerve to hide behind international students to justify your violence. You’re a vile and despicable human being.
