    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.

























  • 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.
