Quick, somebody tell the felon-in-chief. A little over a week ago, ICE agents arrested Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil. His crime? None.
Seems the current regime took exception to him protesting his homeland being laid to waste and his people massacred and decided to make an example of him. A lawful permanent resident with a green card and married to a US citizen, Khalil was effectively kidnapped from his own home by the Department of Homeland 'Security' goons and hauled more than a thousand miles away to Louisiana in what is looking more and more like a flagrant case of judge shopping.

I'm certain he wouldn't be able to read it, English in 1776 was a wee bit different.

me and booster are trying to counter the far right tendency there bud... I've been buying up the vote too. Balance is needed.
Now that could make for a pleasant change of pace. I have trouble not being political, might as well put my two cents in.
silence over speaking out against injustice.. its the new norm
Free speech is not a crime, and condemning the government of Israel is no more anti-Semitic than condemning the government of Great Britain is anglophobia.
