No U.S. citizen should be detained by law enforcement, at the border or anywhere, because of their protected speech.
ICE and CBP are the "enemies domestic" that federal officials swear an oath to defend against.
Ex-Biden State Department official says even the Israeli military expected the US to only let them bomb Gaza for weeks, rather than unconditionally for a year and a half:
Propping this up is going to get increasingly expensive. The $100 million AIPAC spent last election will look like a bargain compared to the cost of winning when you’re thus badly underwater
Biden burned so much moral and political capital by supporting every single thing Netanyahu did and now Bibi is just sitting there grinning ear to ear as Trump shits all over him. The "hug Bibi" strategy was one of the dumbest ideas ever spit out by a White House.
FEC reports are how the donor class chooses our candidates. I think that's stupid. So here's what happens behind the scenes of a campaign at the end of the quarter.
Oh, and why we should focus much more on grassroots donors over corporate cash:
Rules of engagement that permit destroying an entire civilian apartment building to kill one alleged terrorist is part of Joe Biden’s legacy.
It’s still a war crime though, and Waltz’s text is a confession.
AOC says there are 30,000 people at the Denver rally, which would be a record crowd for any Sanders event, including both of his presidential campaigns.
Bernie Sanders tells @reidepstein that he wants some people to “run as independents outside of the Democratic Party.”
This’ll make the anti-Bernie crowd furious, but Dan Osborn running well ahead of Harris in NESen last year kickstarted that discussion.

New data on the reaction to Gavin Newsom’s new podcast:
- Favorability amongst Liberals has declined from 46% to 30%.
- While some Republicans agreed with his stances, they overwhelmingly viewed him as insincere, calling him “fake” and “pandering”
- His net favorability dropped from +4 to -6, a 10-point swing in the wrong direction.
- Only 13% of voters had an improved perception of him, and only 1 in 5 said the podcast made them want to tune in for more.

I remember my conversation with @hasanthehun when he hosted me in his house for an interview.
I saw how much he was moved and wanted to learn more from people who lived the genocide in Gaza.
It’s of course impossible for Hasan and others to enter Gaza because of restrictions from the Israeli occupation..
The only way for the world to see and hear the truth is through the eyes of Palestinians who document the constant Israeli crimes or lived under the occupation.
We’re all being censored or de-platformed some way. Thank you Hasan for refusing to be silenced by ignorant people.
I hope one day we can welcome you to Gaza and in a #FreePalestine.
NYT reports that Columbia admin is warning international students to “avoid publishing work on Gaza” & purge their social media of mentions of Mahmoud Khalil. Dean of the journalism school openly said “we cannot protect you” from abduction by ICE. HOW IS IT STILL BIZ AS USUAL??
Never forget that when the American Gestapo arrived to university campuses to disappear student activists the ADL was in the front row cheering them on. All in the name of “fighting antisemitism.”
These Nazi collaborators are a disgrace to Jewish history and a danger to us all.
Good news everyone! Thanks to the support from Hasan and this amazing community, YouTube looked into the removed video and fixed the obviously incorrect strike!
Shout out to Hasan for going to bat for his community and working to help the little guys! That's what happens when your streamer is a real one who practices what he preaches and actively supports his community members!
Hi
@TeamYouTube
My video was wrongly removed for Guidelines on "Promoting Violent Organizations", despite being CRITICAL of violent groups and being expressly anti-war.
It's a reaction video to an original video which is still up, so clearly the rule was incorrectly decided. Additionally my entire channel was demonetized and removed from the Partner Program based on this incorrect judgement.
I already appealed and the appeal (of this two hour video) was rejected within minutes.
Can you please fix this?
My video: https://t.co/FUXbMmCQA3
The video being reacted to: https://t.co/uwPt1YsAUW
The footage shown is not against the Community Guidelines, the entire point is discussing the dangers harms of violent groups and criticizing them.
This video should be reinstated, and the strike removed, and my channel reinstated to the Partner Program.
But to be even more clear, other fan channels have posted the EXACT same reaction without issue: https://t.co/LPiCb3oqA8 showing that even my video with the commentary on top of the video is not breaking the rules. And that this is likely the result of automated systems flagging a video after it was falsely mass reported. Again, my video should be reinstated, and the strike removed.
Nothing in the video promotes violence in any way. This video was previously manually reviewed by YouTube and deemed to be suitable for full advertising, so the video was clearly not in violation of the policy. The footage and commentary shown is criticizing all violent action and taking an educational approach to explain the history of an ongoing conflict.
The removal was clearly incorrect, and I hope you can fix this.
Thank you.

To clarify, the YouTube policy training course that it forces you to take after a strike even explicitly states examples of things that are okay and not a violation of policy, and these examples are more extreme than anything in the video I posted.
My video is far more critical of violence and gives far more explanation, nuance, and educational context than these examples that YouTube explicitly states are valid and not a violation.
@TeamYouTube As I said in my original tweet:
"I already appealed and the appeal (of this two hour video) was rejected within minutes."
The strike is very obviously incorrect. Can you look into this more thoroughly?
Thank you.
Hasan Piker's (@hasanthehun) community, has raised $82000 in only 1 hour for Rebuilding Alliance, a Palestinian organization that provides meals in Gaza alongside the filmmakers of the Oscar nominated documentary "No Other Land".
