This is even more concerning when you look at some of the motivations: “The bill was largely spurred by recent protests on university and college campuses across the country, including North Carolina-based schools, against the war in Gaza.”
this is about control, fascism. historically student protests are the canary in the coal mine on a number of issues. powers that be are looking to stamp out any dissent going forward.
There is def throwing out meat for the rabid base. Feel like North Carolina is looking to hook up with TX and FL. University of North Carolina to divert $2.3m DEI budget to safety and policing“Some members of the board of trustees, which voted for the divestment, cited students’ recent anti-war demonstrations as a reason for the redesignation of funds to the campus police.”
Did Jerry Seinfeld’s wife find these violent counter protesters as well? Glad to see researchers are unmasking them, but will there be any criminal charges… Meanwhile israel is funding canary mission to doxx peaceful protesters in order to control all narrative and maintain influence.
Basic blender went bad (motor ran but spindle wasn’t rotating). I wanted to disassemble to see if it could be repaired. Three of the four screws were Phillips head. I had to cut the casing open in order to discover why I couldn’t unscrew the fourth. It was a slotted spanner.
He wrote that the justifications for Israel’s war in Gaza became “difficult to defend” and that “whatever the justification you’re either advancing a policy that enables the mass starvation of children, or you’re not.” The post received an outpouring of support with hundreds of likes and comments in just a few...
Mann himself stated his reasons include being a ‘descendant of European Jews’. I admire his moral conviction. For some people ‘never again’ are life/history/moral lessons learned, rather than mere slogans to be printed on stickers.
All this death and destruction helped along by US tax dollars, and US munitions.
I was not surprised Hillary ‘corporate’ Clinton came out full on pro-death-and-destruction, pointedly criticizing student protesters. It’s decades of failed blank check US foreign policy towards Israel playing out now.
Video of the incident on Monday at Tarqumiya checkpoint, west of Hebron in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, showed settlers blocking the trucks and throwing boxes of much-needed supplies on the ground.

‘Outrage’ aside, the actions of these religious fanatics that ‘settle’ on stolen lands is not at all new or surprising. They can be described as terrorists as much as any other group.
They’ve been destroying and disrupting aid deliveries for some time. Even singing, chanting and dancing to the deed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVXdIVq6qrU
What’s a little death by famine, of even babies and children. They are simply doing God’s work. I’m sure God will sort it all out.
We need both, Rent Control and more housing. Land-lording has also been invaded by capitalists looking to squeeze humans for every cent and govt needs to stem that tide too. Rent has been soaring in the biggest capitalist zones, US and EU/CA.
Can only be described as psychopathic response disguised as intellectual arguments. There aren’t enough dead babies, women and children that will move this person so long as they’re Palestinian.
Pretty disgusting. More people should be made aware of these tactics because it will leave a bad taste in anyone’s mouth in an age of privacy concerns and surveillance.
Scavenger’s Reign was my favourite animated show from last year. Hopefully Netflix gives it a season 2. At the very least it should get more views being on Netflix now.
Just because you say so, over and over and over that these protests are antisemitic, doesn’t make it true.
Bernie Sanders to the Mainstream media: “go to Gaza, and take your camera show us the emaciated children who are dying from malnutrition because of Netanyahu’s policies.”
