Words don’t matter anymore. Convicted Russian spies say they’re being persecuted because of Russophobia, Ivy League students talk of death by starvation in Manhattan, people who saw videos of police shootings talk about brutality as they’re being gently taken into custody.

I don’t think the police should’ve broken up these protests, I think they should’ve prevented students from barricading themselves in the buildings in the first place. But In terms of what the American police is capable of, last night was not “police brutality.”

The fact that we’re talking more about mostly white American students for Gaza than we’re talking about the catastrophe in Gaza tells you all you need to know about who has the real supremacy here.
Hint: it’s not the Palestinians.

I don’t know if he belongs in jail - I’m not a judge - but this messianic would-be authoritarian definitely belongs in a courtroom.

Videos of Pro-Palestine protestors chanting antisemitic slogans and not letting people through is Israel’s biggest PR victory since the start of its bloody invasion of Gaza.

I’m sorry, but these students are idiots and I have zero sympathy for them. They’re a disgrace to the Palestinian cause and to the very idea of what a university is.

Western banks paid $800 million in taxes in Russia in 2023, making up 0.4% of all Russia’s expected non-energy revenues for 2024. An utter moral failure.

As far as uniforms go, this iteration of Italian fascism is a steep downgrade from the bespoke ways of the Mussolini dictatorship.

Also, fascism sucks.

Kharkiv doesn’t need our prayers. It doesn’t need our sympathies. It doesn’t need promises to rebuild.

It needs F16s. Ideally today.

Americans should stay out of the Middle East - from Dick Cheney to a trust fund marxist at Columbia. Americans are not needed there - not with their bombs, not with their sit-ins, not with their ideas of what that region should look like. Free Palestine - of yourself.

No idea if Kristi Noem can win the U.S. presidential election as Trump's VP, but the puppy-gravel-pit story guarantees her a landslide win in a race for Russian czardom.

I love the subdued glamour of cold water beaches where the pastel-clad 1% come to escape the opulence of their big city lives. But the much-vaunted 'Hamptons' left me pastel-ed out in my car, as this premiere resort region of the American elite proved to be entirely un-walkable.

I know it’s a Saturday night but a Russian court has just arrested our Reuters colleague.
Journalism is not a crime.
Konstantin is a TV producer, not an “extremist”.
He ought to be released immediately.
