    Judge Michael Farbiarz of the U.S. District Court for New Jersey said that the government’s attempt to continue to detain Khalil was “highly, highly, highly unusual.” Farbiarz recently ruled that Khalil’s arrest and detention over his pro-Palestinian activism at Columbia University likely violated the Constitution.

    How many more of these stories need to come out before us around the rest of the world stop treating the United States like a democracy? They aren’t. I’m so exhausted of this fucking sane washing. It’s a goddamn terrorist state.






  • You seem to think it was a period of sanity.

    Would you mind pointing out where I said that?

    Go ahead.

    I’ll wait.

    Actually, screw this. Let me just cut this off now so I can get on with my life.

    The country had one brief period of some sanity

    The operative word in that sentence is the word SOME. Stop painting my opinions to be all or nothing, stop shoving words down my throat, and actually read what I have to say. I also did not specify the period I was talking about, only that Reagan drop kicked it out. You made an enormous amount of assumptions and pretended as if they were reality. They’re not.

    If you are curious next time, the correct thing to do is ask for elaboration or clarification.

    Please stop wasting my time.








  • That’s what I meant in the description by two journalists in a single day.

    This article is about Nick Stern, a british photojournalist, who was shot with a non-lethal round and had to have emergency surgery.

    There is another article, with live video footage, of a cop in riot gear, completely unprovoked, shooting an Australian reporter in the back with a rubber bullet. Luckily for her, she was fine. Just sore. But make no mistake, that round at that distance could have caused considerably worse injuries or even killed her.









  • She’s just lucky she didn’t end up like Nick Stern. A british photojournalist that was also shot today with “non-lethal rounds”.

    “People came over to help and got me on the curb. A medic was called, who cut off my clothes. In my leg was what felt like a five centimeter hole with muscle hanging out of it and blood all down my leg. The medic put a tourniquet on it, and a journalist I was with took me to ER. It hurt so much that I thought they might be firing live rounds,” he said. “I’ve been with non lethal rounds before. They hurt like hell but generally don’t break the skin. But the blood made me think it was a live round.”

    Dude had to go into emergency surgery.
