Burning an American flag in the US is protected by the first amendment, but spray painting a liberation slogan on the flag of the genocidal foreign Israeli apartheid regime is prosecuted as a “hate crime”? Complete insanity. https://t.co/4vZkjFX8rt

So I'm not surprised by the fact that there wasn't broad consensus for court reform. It is the radical position -- just like what Republicans are doing right now is radical. But the 'radical' is always gonna beat the status quo compromising to an invisible center that doesn't really exist. And that's why liberals keep losing."
For all those drawing comparisons between the French New Popular Front and a possible “popular front” in the US: just remind yourself what centrist Dems did to Jamaal Bowman a couple weeks ago and what they look poised to do to Cori Bush

3 Columbia deans were just suspended after being accused of ‘antisemitism’ when photos of a groupchat were leaked. Apparently discussing exploitation of a political moment for fundraising, using 🤮, ‘LMAO’, pointing out the influence of privilege and wealth within higher education are all antisemitic tropes.
This is the dangerous impact of the IHRA definition, which I discuss below, in action.
