The Los Angeles public defenders' union called the UCLA arrests 'shameful and a complete failure of leadership' and said it is ready to 'represent every person facing charges.'

Jewish Rep. Sara Jacobs said she voted against the bill that would crack down on antisemitism on college campuses because anti-Zionism is not “inherently” antisemitism, and the measure that passed through the House would “stifle” free speech rights. trib.al/FigAQMo

This sort of coverage versus the coverage of the actual violence against pro-Palestinian protestors at UCLA confirms why so many of us call out the false god of objectivity in journalism. It has never existed. Choices about framing, emphasis, legitimacy are made every single day…

It’s hard to hear about broken windows in buildings here when all of Gaza’s universities have been blown up and reduced to literal dust.

Every. Single. One.

With US support.

Most white American “conservatives” do not actually believe in limited government as a principle, they just believe in limiting government support for Black and brown people. This is why they also believe in EXPANDING government when it comes to police, prisons and surveillance…

It’s painful listening to the way folks on cables news panels discuss unrest on campuses. On NLP, we have a more honest take. Also, there’s more news happening other than Trump trials & this. We get into what you’re not hearing. New ep drops this morning. Tune in for the real…

One thing: I know Americans love to romanticize the 60s and Civil Rights movement and MLK.

The best thing I have ever used my legal skills for is getting Harvard to return my Ponca ancestor Standing Bear’s tomahawk back into the hands of the tribe. He was the first Native American to win civil rights and now future Ponca kids can see a real part of him first hand!

It is an iron clad rule of life that whenever a violent White man mass murders his entire family, there will be stories humanizing him as a “goofy” fun loving dad, and not one of the worst men on the planet, which he was, at all times. His rage and depravity define him. Trash!

They are returning Reggie Bush's Heisman...time to put the #FabFive back into the history books, too. Jalen Rose Chris Webber, Juwan Howard Jimmy King and Ray Jackson changed college hoops forever.
