PROTESTING against occupation while OCCUPYING public spaces in the campuses and calling them LIBERATED zones as they're chanting racist and genocidal chants AGAINST genocide.

Can't. Make. This. Shit. Up.

How does dressing up like Islamist terrorists and screaming, "KIKE!" in the faces of Jewish college students and professors help the Palestinian people?

To pay Stormy, Donald ordered his team
- to create a shell company
- to come up with fake names for the agreement
- to come up with fake invoices for repaying Cohen

NOT to hide it from Melania.

This was to hide it from campaign finance regulators, journalists, and all of us.

A former Secret Service agent is suing the New York Post and Daily Mail for defamation, accusing them of publishing stories based on fabricated text messages that he says falsely linked him to Hunter Biden. The publications claimed they came from "Hunter Biden's laptop," but they were apparently completely fabricated. The former agent says they knew the messages were fake when they published them.

Cannabis is OFFICIALLY headed to Schedule III.

The DEA has made the move, the White House will most certainly approve.

Ohio's *School Vouchers for All*: Expanded, Expensive, but Not Audited - A clear case of removing funding from public schools to finance private mostly religious schools. https://deutsch29.wordpress.com/2024/04/29/ohios-school-vouchers-for-all-expanded-expensive-but-not-audited/ #privatization

Man we live in crazy times…

Republican Bill Barr tells CNN, that when he was Attorney General, Trump would frequently inform him, he wanted specific US citizens killed, but according to Barr, it is not a problem, because the government did not carry out the order.

Imagine that: A president angrily suggesting to use the power of the state to assassinate people he does not like, and it all comes down to, whether the person he is talking to tries to calm him down… or not.

Justice #Merchan wrote that he was “keenly aware of, and protective of, Defendant’s First Amendment rights.” But nonetheless, he wrote that he would not tolerate continued violations of his orders and that if necessary & appropriate, he would “impose an incarceratory sentence.” In plain language, he is warning #Trump that he will send him to #jail if necessary.

Already, prosecutors have alerted to the judge to 4 new potential violations. Those were not covered by Justice #Merchan’s order & will be discussed at another hearing, which will be held on Thurs morning.

In addition to fining #Trump after finding him in #contempt, Justice Merchan ordered him to remove the offending Truth Social posts today.

Theists:
1. Do you believe you can fly if you flap your arms?

2. Do you believe a #god exists?

Apply to the second question the same kind of critical thinking you used on the first.

Judge #Merchan says #Trump can have May 17 to attend the high school graduation of his youngest son, Barron. Trump had complained about not immediately being given permission. “I don’t think the May 17 date is a problem,” the judge says.

Judge #Merchan begins immediately by saying that he has reached a ruling on whether #Trump violated the #GagOrder. We don’t know what it is yet.

@JuliusGoat I've been involved in many protests and is completely normal to talk about who's not welcome at the protest and what to do to get rid of them. It can be done and was done many times.

If there's not even an attempt to do so, that is a *choice* by the protest.

The idea that protests cannot realistically get rid of antisemites is nothing but a lame excuse. The reality is much more likely that they can't get rid of them because there is a consensus that these people *are* welcome there

@JuliusGoat Protests don't have to be flawless, but they need to make clear that the worst people are not welcome at their protest. And they don't. At all. Nowhere. That's a choice that reflects on the entire protest.

Texas governor says state will ignore ‘illegal’ Biden Title IX revisions

Here's what we're reading today:

An attack on #Odesa last night killed five and injured over 30. Russian troops set on fire the Palace of Students at the National University Odesa Law Academy, nicknamed "Harry Potter's Castle" due to its unique shape.

They used an Iskander missile with cluster munitions, scattering debris over a 1.5km radius. Prosecutors suspect a deliberate choice to maximize casualties.
