Alan Dershowitz vows he will engage in 'massive offensive lawfare' against allegedly 'anti-Semitic' student protesters. He threatens to have their dorm rooms taken away, take their cars and boomboxes, and 'bankrupt' them. He says this is necessary to 'deter' the return of Hitler

Under a bill just passed by the House, the Biden (or a future Trump) administration could cut federal funding for colleges that allow students to say Israel is committing genocide. I explain in this week's Earthling, the weekend edition of The Nonzero Newsletter. tinyurl.com/sxbsc5c7

While the media stokes fears about student protesters being 'terrorists', Congress is busy gutting Americans' free speech rights.

Glenn Greenwald on how lawmakers were able to pass the #TikTokBan and the House's 'Antisemitism Awareness' Act:

'They're really acting like they entered some sort of ISIS camp...'

How the post-9/11 'War on Terror' mindset that subverted and weakened so many core civil liberties in the US is now back, with a vengeance, in the name of shielding Israel and its supporters:

The Jewish journal Tablet Magazine editorially denounces the multiple free speech assaults perpetrated in the name of protecting American Jews.

It condemns Ritchie Torres' bill to appoint 'antisemitism monitors' on campuses, among other recent erosions:

A group of lawmakers are trying to make it more difficult to get flight refunds.

David Sirota on the airline industry's grip on Washington and how Congress could make flying even worse:

It's worse than you think

Many journalists repeatedly claimed that Twitter was going to collapse within weeks and cease functioning technically.

Needless to say, none of them returned to those apocalyptic decrees to admit they were wrong and ask why they got it so wrong because that's not what they do.

Because Mike Johnson has proven himself an incredibly useful, pliant and loyal instrument for the Democratic Party.

He has been the chief strategist ensuring the Biden WH gets its tops priorities: funding the war in Ukraine, warrantless domestic spying, free speech limits.

I don’t want the protection of this bill. I don’t need the protection of this bill. And I’m frankly embarrassed that the civil liberties of my fellow Americans could be restricted on my supposed behalf.

Zaid Jilani There are many conservatives who spend years mocking every claim of bigotry from every group. It's all whiny, self-victimizing fabrications, etc.

But Israel comes up and they scream 'racist!' and 'anti-Semite!' at everyone who disagrees with them, insisting it's an epidemic.

Like the war funding bill, TikTok ban, and warrantless spying, Speaker Johnson has jammed through this bill in the heat of the moment, with minimal hearings and debate. This is a terrible way to make legislation. In this case, it's also blatantly unconstitutional.

Wrote about *that* Dana Bash segment on CNN, which is simply one of the most shameful pieces of propaganda I have ever seen on cable news discourseblog.com/p/cnns-disgrac…

Indeed it is very bad, but how is the public to take the House GOP seriously about free speech when it just outlawed criticism of the Israeli government?

Conservatives like Ben Shapiro built their brands on challenging people to debate.

But they abandon their commitment to discourse to shield the foreign power of Israel from criticism.

Glenn Greenwald on the Daily Wire's debate debacle:

Johnson Pushes “Un-American Censorship Bill That Puts Constitution Through A Paper Shredder.”

“This botched antisemitism resolution is just the cherry on top of the crap sundae Mike Johnson has served Congressional Republicans for six months”
