Australia wants to jail Elon. Women tie their tubes. Mike Johnson is sticking around. Plus: China might not have been honest about the pandemic.

My Israeli flag was stolen and burned. I was hit. And the school is preventing the NYPD from protecting us. Jonathan Lederer for The Free Press.

Biden’s border-deal double-down would make for good politics and good policy.

The school has allowed anti-Israel students to run roughshod over their most basic policies. Yesterday, I paid the price. Sahar Tarek for The Free Press.

At Yale, Sahar Tartak was stabbed in the eye. At Columbia, Jonathan Lederer’s Israeli flag was burned and he was hit in the face.

However the power that Queer folks have on the Fediverse is proportional to its size, and if the network grows then Queer folk may find that their empowerment will start to dissolve, just as its done for other marginalized people on the network, like Jews, and POC. #Fediverse
