Joel Chan York Yee, an National University of Singapore student I investigated last year for his filming of women w/o their consent during sex, has pleaded guilty to 2 counts of voyeurism. But this story goes WAY deeper (a long, WILD 🧵)

"Who are YOU protecting? WE'RE New York!"

Independent journalist Wali Khan (IG: @wali_talks) reported ON-THE-GROUND in New York City on November 29th, 2025 as NYPD assaulted anti-ICE protesters. NYPD can be seen violently, and arbitrarily, pushing, tackling, and assaulting protesters at the same time they appear to be protecting unmarked white vans that typically transport prisoners into and out of ICE prisons.

📺 Full story on YouTube. 🔗 in bio.

Amos’s mother told me the arrest was non-violent and lamented “there is nothing she can do at this point”

BREAKING: Amos Yee was detained by ICE officers at his halfway house today at noon— just a day after he was released. He is currently being held in Dodge Detention Facility in Wisconsin.

Independent journalist @wali_talks was struck with multiple pepper balls and a foam baton round while covering protests outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, on Sept. 26.

Almost all of his protective equipment was damaged as a result.

🟠 Breaking: New Jersey Port Action

Early Friday morning, an autonomous coalition of protesters shut down Maersk and ZIM operations at Port Elizabeth, NJ, a major East Coast hub for weapons exports to Israel. Organizers said they acted to halt unlawful weapons shipments used in Gaza, citing U.S. and international laws against genocide.

The action, organizers said, was carried out in solidarity with protests at ports in Oakland, Dublin, Spain, Italy, France, Sweden, Greece, and the Global Sumud Flotilla. And “most importantly, the people and children of Gaza.” A participant said the most effective nonviolent step is to stop arming Israel: “It’s a crime to send weapons to a genocide.”

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: We obtained video of an FBI raid of a pro-Palestinian student activist from University of Michigan (several other students' homes were raided too).

MI AG Dana Nessel, who has previously targeted other pro-Palestinian student activists, issued the search warrants.

Some gathered near the corner of the steps and started shouting “DROP THE CHARGES” (this is the disruption I was referring to in the video)

Yesterday, Michigan Attorney Dana Nessel spoke of civil liberties being stripped by the Trump admin yesterday on the Capitol steps but refused to answer questions about the pro-Palestine students she was charging with felonies
