Thatās an actual win.
This is one of the most upsetting and disgusting things I've ever read.
Grabbing everyone who has said āwhere are the protests nowā by the head and shoving their faces into their screen to read this.
Criticism of Israel continues to be functionally illegal in the United States
And racist, hateful organizations like āstop antisemitismā are the single largest contributors to Islamophobic and anti-Arab hate in North America. Count the Apartheid Defense League in that one, also.
Students like Cecilia Culver of George Washington University are hijacking commencement speeches to spew propaganda, not reflect on their time in college. What a shame for grads who actually earned their degrees while others threw tantrums on the lawn.
The ātantrums on the lawnā are probably the single most important contribution of American universities to human well-being in this century.
Listening to @endofsportpod.bsky.social 's @nkalamb.bsky.social + @derekcrim.bsky.social talk about college football!
As someone who went to high school in Ohio, it's really moving to hear people call out the racial capitalism of college football.

GREAT HARPER GOVERNMENT WE GOT HERE
He's Stephen Harper with a red jersey on.
Honestly, if we *had* elected Pierre Poilievreās Conservatives, it wouldnāt look any different than this š”
Yes, really looking forward!
Yes, really looking forward!
Putting aside how scummy and evil this is for a moment, Iām not sure weāre prepared for the level of political flashpoint that the 2026 World Cup is going to represent.
Iām *so* glad Canada didnāt elect an unaccountable right wing government. /s
Fuck Carney
Not sure why the U.S. and Canada seem intent on making the 2026 World Cup memorable in the way the 1936 Olympics are.
#boycottfifaworldcup Carney is a snake
Canada, FIFA World Cup host country, rejected visa to President, Gen. Sec and Head of Legal at Palestine FA to attend FIFA Congress on 30 April. We're hearing also Lebanese, Iranian, Syrian FAs were denied visas. Congress is only event where FAs can feed into football governance
This is indefensible.
Canadians must boycott the World Cup.
