“Let’s take any other ethnic or religious minority,” said Eden Yadegar, a junior at Columbia. “Would you only accept them if they were willing to denounce an integral part of their religious or ethnic identity? The answer is absolutely not. So how come it’s OK to say, you know, we accept Jews, but ...

There hasn't been an election there in nearly 20 years. An entire generation has never seen a vote. This does not seem inconsistent with what I wrote. The way I think about it: When Japanese leadership bombed Pearl Harbor, they brought war onto their people, with very bad results for the civilian p...

Hamas /= Palestine. But Hamas is the government of Gaza that instigated the current war. Also that's not true: https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2024/1/22/how-israel-has-repeatedly-rejected-hamas-truce-offers Al-Jazeera?? You're pawning off Al-Jazeera propaganda? The bullshit in this piece is that...

This is just being ugly. List of Colleges with Arab Presidents ... And the Arab president of Columbia was one who called in a police response. (Per bio on Columbia site, president Nemat (Minouche) Shafik was born in Alexandria, Egypt, but family fled to US, where scientist father had obtained a Ph....

Which is why Anders will support them being shot.
Because using a gun takes away every fear.

That's a very unfair personal attack, unrelated to anything I believe.

Heard on CNN at 12:30ish today: Paraphrase: "Testimony today saying there were no affairs. If that's so, the case is over." :brickwallsmall: :brickwallsmall: :brickwallsmall: When someone pays cash for it, is that an affair? I always thought it was more of a business transaction. Isn't an...

I'm a member of Talking Points Memo because I always find Josh Marshall worth reading. Here's a gift link to some of his thoughts on the protests and the war I consider insightful.

:snippity: If you watch the video, you'll notice she never says that. So.. Did you go back and watch the video? Ready to admit she was lying? Or will you continue to? My main idea is that the issue was likely being prevented from entering the area, not prevented from leaving. I was correct when I p...

What is it that the students are doing that is illegal; that's getting them arrested? Is it against the law to set up the tents? To gather on campus somewhere? Are some protests getting violent (on their own without/before cops show up)? Besides obvious authoritarian violence-loving politicians (Ab...

The article says "At least 165 [bodies] have been identified, with about 10 of them with their hands bound, Also, the updated GeoConfirm thread concludes: Another example are the claims about handcuffs. (We do not state that this did not occur) (Picture: [Tweet with partial image of body with ...

according to https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/mass-graves-found-gaza-hospitals-raided-israel-prompt-demands-independ-rcna149110 from April 27 there were 10 people unearthed that had been handcuffed.

H/T Shad Riley on Twitter:

Columbia has set a deadline of 2PM today for students to leave the encampment, on pain of suspension. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

I personally think it is much more probable that she was being blocked from entering the encampment, since protestors are using this tactic all over, and this illegal restriction of the rights of others is an issue for opponents of the protests. Except she didn't claim she was prevented from enteri...

What evidence is there that she's a student? If she lives off-campus (no dogs in the dorm) why would she have any more rights being on public property than the protesters? Just that it would be odd for her to expect to enter the encampment if it's on campus (as I understand it to be) and she is not...

It looks like Shad Riley will continue to post transcripts converted to searchable pdf as they appear on the court web site. Since you can find them on his Twitter feed, I plan to stop posting the links here unless anyone tells me they want them. ETA: one vote for posting pdf links, so I'll keep it ...

Her counting of those surrounding her is all to the left of her.. no one stopping her from exiting stage right.. My conjecture is that she was trying to walk to the left and was being blocked by protestors effectively massing into a human wall for that purpose. You can find videos of this tactic be...

The gaslighting here is truly shocking. She claims "I'm surrounded and they wont' let me leave." She's alleging false imprisonment, when clearly no one is blocking her. There needs to be consequences for filing false police reports. At Northwestern: average Karen tried to walk her dog thr...

And before everyone starts wigging out, he’s going to remain in confinement until his retrial. Also, isn’t he facing charges in CA ? Harvey Weinstein (no relation!) was found guilty on 3 counts in the LA case and sentenced last February to 16 years, to be served after the 23 year NY sentence. https...

Shad Riley sent the 4/23 transcript to Matt Cameron via a google drive. I've asked Matt to post it on twitter.

Next day's transcript (4-23) is up in the lame click-next-to-see-page-at-a-time-in-browser viewing format. https://pdfs.nycourts.gov/PeopleVs.DTrump-71543/Transcripts/4-23-2024/ Wonder if Law360 will manage to post a single pdf?

That pdf itself just contained a sequence of page images in one document, so didn't support text search or selection to copy/paste an excerpt as text.
