MORE LIKE THIS PLEASE: CU Boulder pro-Hamas protestors barge into class – get yanked out by their keffiyehs.

A trio of pro-Hamas student activists barged into a University of Colorado Boulder classroom last week, and were promptly hauled back out by their keffiyehs.

The Daily Camera reports after entering the “Designing for Defense” class, one of the activists went to the front of the room and prepared to read a statement, whereupon a man who appeared to be the instructor said “No you may not.”

He then grabbed the statement and said “Get out.”

The students say they were “violently assaulted,” but it sounds like a clear case of molliter manus imposuit to me.

NOTHING SAYS “FOLLOW THE SCIENCE” LIKE COVERING UP THE SCIENCE:

I don't think journalists (and scientists) understand how damning this looks

They think this makes Peter Marks a hero, but normal people look at this and say "why is the vaccine safety database off limits to the Secretary of Health?" https://t.co/hEptLD9a8a

THEY LECTURED THE RIGHT ON “STOCHASTIC TERRORISM” WHILE REFINING IT FOR THEMSELVES:

Assassination culture is spreading on the left. Forty-eight percent of liberals say it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk. Fifty-five percent said the same about Donald Trump.

I take a cysteine supplement for anti-aging. I wonder if it does anything to mercury in my body?

A MODICUM OF SANITY PREVAILS: Supreme Court Overturns Lower Court’s Block on Venezuelan Deportations. “The Supreme Court ruled on Monday night that the Trump administration could continue to deport Venezuelan migrants based on a wartime powers act for now, overturning a lower court that had put a temporary stop to the deportations. The decision marks a victory for the Trump administration, although the ruling is narrow and focused on the proper venue for the cases, rather than on the administration’s use of a centuries-old law to justify its decision to send planeloads of Venezuelans to El Salvador with little to no due process. The justices did not address the question of whether the Trump administration improperly categorized the Venezuelans as deportable under the Alien Enemies Act, finding the migrants had improperly challenged their deportations in Washington, D.C. The justices determined that the migrants should have raised challenges in Texas, where they were being held.”

But if they hadn’t brought their challenges in DC, they wouldn’t have gotten Judge Boasberg.
