SouthEndSunset , in As student protesters get arrested, they risk being banned from campus too

What, even if it’s an actual peaceful protest?

flipht ,

Especially if it's peaceful protest.

Gotta build the narrative that these are disruptive individuals. If they won't do it themselves, the universities and states will just lie and hope that it will be enough to sway public opinion against the protestors.

BaldProphet ,

There's a difference between a peaceful protest and camping on the quad. These protesters aren't being arrested for protesting, they're being arrested for setting up their encampments and disrupting the other students who are simply trying to get an education.

SouthEndSunset ,

Different people will have a differing view of what classes as a peaceful protest though…if a country wanted to arrest people for non peaceful protest, surely it would need to be written into law?

BaldProphet ,

Not sure what you are asking. The university told them to leave, and they didn't. They are now trespassing.

If they simply left the private campus property and continued their protest in a legal manner (i.e. not camping on private property) they wouldn't have been arrested.

I have so many questions, but mostly I'm wondering if ye is derivative of Kanye and Yeezy is a derivative of Ye, then how do I pronounce Kayne, Ye, and Yeezy?

wildncrazyguy ,

I’m going to answer this honestly, because on the internet I can’t tell if you’re being funny or curious. Kanye referred to Jesus as Yeezy. Once he became so grandiose in the music industry, and his mental disorder started to take over, he started calling himself Yeezy. So Yeezy should be pronounced like Jesus, I suppose.

In any case, the man has a God complex.

And this article confirms what we all already knew - he likes fish sticks.

I was serious, thanks for the explanation! I didn't know much about Kanye so just assumed Ye was from Kanye and Yeezy from Ye, but it seems that assumption was wrong.

Ew. I didn’t need that visual today.

There already exists a picture of him with his current wife in Italy giving him a blowjob on a boat. The visual exists already. Unfortunately.

I'm so glad to be an online-only student.

I call bullshit on that very first line. Calling out a genocide doesn’t equal antisemitism

Near Columbia University, antisemitic slogans including "go back to Poland" were heard among the protesters' chants. In one video, a demonstrator can be seen holding a sign near Jewish students that reads: "Al-Qassam's next targets."

WarlockLawyer ,

Seems reasonable that people would want the man leading a genocide to go back to his birth country where he can't do much harm.

mozz Admin , in Aid for Ukraine and Israel, possible TikTok ban advance in Senate
mozz avatar

Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Vermont independent, said in a statement ahead of the votes that he would offer amendments to "cut billions in offensive military funding to Israel" from the foreign aid package and "protect essential humanitarian operations."

I don’t know enough to say whether this kind of thing is possible or what are the details - but I already contacted my senators and asked them not to give more aid to Israel.

MagikMistur , in Ukraine warns of WW3 ahead of long-stalled Congress aid vote

Yeah and If Ukraine wins how they gonna pay the US back wheres the plan us citizens get to see of that repayment. O wait we don't know they could be free loading and paying back only top officials and not the governments treasury.

WHARRGARBL ,

Russia plans to take first Ukraine, then Balkans, then Poland, then Germany, and collapse the EU, which is a threat even to you in whatever miserable little coal-rolling corner of the United States you happen to be griping from.

You want your share of “those wasted taxes” back? Send me your info and I’ll Venmo your fucking $50, big guy.
