Not so long ago, the KKK shouted outside Black churches being used for voter registration drives, while the white mayors of those towns probably justified those hate mobs by calmly explaining that churches should not be used for political purposes.

Also says something about the need for conversation among those with varying views.

It says a lot about the normalization of antisemitism when @thecrimson will publish a student op-ed justifying ending friendships with Zionists, framing it as moral courage. The piece harps on discourse and morality, yet cutting off friends over ideology betrays both. All it…

I just left a visit to the ICE detention facility in Eloy. There’s a lot to absorb, but I want to tell you about a woman I met named Maria because her story really shows how messed up all this is. She’s been in the U.S. for twenty years. Has no criminal history. She was…
