Folks, if your strategy is to vote multiple times (at ~€1/pop) to try and influence the Eurovision Song Contest outcome against Israel: please don’t.
Financially rewarding the EBU will only make them look successful. You don’t buy all the beer at the fascist bar to teach them a lesson.

"As we have seen very clearly, there is a stark difference between Florida and many other states in this nation,” Kerner said. “This is very intentional. Our governor will not bend to the shrill and illogical will of an entitled and reckless super-minority. He will not tolerate for a moment our campuses degenerating into collectives of violence and anti-American and antisemitic dogma, and neither will the Florida Highway Patrol.”

When you look at the facts of the Trump indictment — not imagined hypothetical scenarios — there is no way the Constitution grants him immunity from prosecution.
(Samuel Breidbart, Brennan Center for Justice)
Two centuries of U.S. constitutional history make clear that Donald Trump is liable to criminal prosecution.

The first large burning came on 6 May 1933. The German Student Union made an organised attack on Magnus Hirschfeld's Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (roughly: Institute of Sex Research). Its library and archives of around 20,000 books and journals were publicly hauled out and burned in the street. Its collection included unique works on intersexuality, homosexuality and transgender topics. 1/2

When these democratic elements threaten the power of the capitalist class, capital always turns to #fascism.
This is a well reported piece but the framing is bizarre.
When a mob attacks a group of protesters under cover of darkness, they are not counter-protesting.
And as the reporting makes clear, they didn’t “provoke” violence, they *perpetrated* it as the cops and campus security stood by. #media #fascism #gazaprotests
How Counterprotesters at U.C.L.A. Provoked Violence, Unchecked for Hours
The New York Times used videos filmed by journalists, witnesses and protesters to analyze hours of clashes — and a delayed police response — at a pro-Palestinian encampment on Tuesday.Neil Bedi (The New York Times)
Today in Labor History May 2, 1933: In one of his first acts after coming to power, Adolf Hitler abolished all labor unions. Storm troopers occupied union offices across Germany. Union leaders were arrested, beaten, tortured and imprisoned, or sent to concentration camps. In the coming months, thousands more communists, anarchists and labor activists were arrested and murdered.

“UCLA now finds itself in a far more vulnerable place. The attack last night was pure anarchy in which violent thugs were given free rein, seemingly with the tacit support of law enforcement.”

“I have been reporting on political dissent and violent policing for 15 years, particularly in New York City. Compared to Tuesday night, I have never witnessed, at the scene of a protest, the use of police power so disproportionate to the type of demonstration taking place.”

Columbia Anti-Viet Nam War Protest leader:
"They’re pretty much the same as we were. The basic impetus of the students, I think it’s not that complicated. It’s that they see a moral tragedy and moral crime going on, and they want to try to do something to stop it,” Rudd told the Daily Beast.
“They don't have the violent rhetoric we had, like calling the cops pigs and ‘Up against the wall, motherfucker,’ that kind of craziness. I think they’re a lot more careful. I think they’re smarter."
