Hey MAGA, Trump just said he's not a christian.


Anyone else get the vibe that hammerhead sharks fell off? When I was a kid I felt like they were a top 2-3 shark, now I never think about them.



University students have every right to protest what they find undesirable, harmful, or unjust. Whether you agree is immaterial. If you don’t like their message, write a counter-message or organize a counter-protest. What’s not allowed is violence in any form or incitement to violence. In and of itself, calling for a single state, whether Jewish- or Palestinian, is not illegal. Nor does it amount to Antisemitism or Islamophobia. In either case, many people find the idea deeply offensive. But free speech is meaningless if it doesn’t include offensive speech. Calling Israel an “apartheid state” is an opinion. Likewise, equating Gazans with “terrorists” amounts to an opinion. As opinions, they are legal, irrespective of whether they are true. The university is the last place that should limit the expression of opinions. It should provide a safe forum where such characterizations can be evaluated, moderated, and, where baseless, discarded. Too many people wish to cleanse universities of claims they find offensive. University administrators should stand firm against such demands for censorship. What should be disallowed is only violence (such as poking a counter-protester with a flag), disruptive behavior (such as blocking traffic), and incitement to violence (such as calling for genocide). This is an opportune moment for university leaders to remind their faculty and students of the line between speech, which is broadly permissible, and violence, which never is. Administrations should also commit to enforcing that line impartially across groups. And all authority should be withdrawn from deranged administrators who have sown immense fear among faculty and students alike by equating speech with violence.

Montage of 25 different times, starting with today, Trump claimed that big strong men came up to him with tears in their eyes thanking him for saving their lives.
