Police gave the Wayne State University Encampment until 6:30 PM to dismantle the encampment. However, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib is there at the encampment and wants the Wayne State Board of Regents to meet with the students. Is she willing to get arrested with the students to make a point?
It does look like the university backed down, and a crowd came out to see the congresswoman. Esa and Lexi were also asking for students and community members to show up.
Esa also had some choice words for the police if they think they can take down the Wayne State University Encampment.

"If they think they're coming and taking this encampment, they're smoking crack. These kids are not playing. The barricade is real. This ain't U of M."
UPDATE: Esa confirms that the raid was pushed back, but suspects it will happen early tomorrow morning.

"So if anyone can come at 2 to 3 o'clock, between 2 to 3 in the morning that would be ideal. Especially to all my fellow Muslims, I know a lot of people struggle with waking up for Fajr, now you have a reason to get up. Get up, pull up to Wayne State, we will pray together."

🚨 Podcast with Nearly 100K Followers Cheers Attacks on Sam Altman’s Home, Swoons Over Alleged Arsonist, Recasts MLK as Turning Toward Violence

It might seem strange to spend time on podcast clips like this, but this is exactly how extremism gets normalized.

The Loud & Gay Show is not merely reacting to the attacks on Sam Altman’s house. The hosts are openly cheering them on. One host, Noa, says “That’s even better” at the possibility of multiple attacks, then adds that it would be “funnier” if one person saw the first attack and decided “that’s a great idea.”

It gets even more grotesque when the conversation turns to the warehouse arsonist. After describing the fire and the scale of the damage, guest Lily Eagla starts gushing over Chamel Abdulkarim’s appearance, saying he had “beautiful large eyebrows like you [co-host Rob Apollo] and Luigi Mangione.”

They then slide straight into historical revisionism, claiming that “the non-violence approach only works if there is a violent arm” and suggesting MLK was basically moving toward “we gotta start smoking [shooting]” people before “they shot him.”

This is information warfare. It is propaganda dressed up as podcast chatter that normalizes political violence, romanticizes arson, and launders militant politics through irony. Wild that something like this is casually hosted on @YouTube.
Lily Eagla is also worth noting here. She recently traveled to Cuba with The People’s Forum and openly identifies herself as a propagandist.
Calling her a propagandist almost feels too tame when she has filmed a promo for a travel agency specializing in trips to North Korea.

📰 My latest for @CityJournal!

Far-left activists are targeting Palantir in city after city. In Denver, 44 weeks of sustained protests and pressure helped drive the company out of Colorado. Now radical organizers across the country want to replicate that success.
I’m incredibly excited for you all to read this article. It builds on much of my previous work covering these groups and how they operate. For those who read my work regularly, very little here will come as a surprise. city-journal.org/article/palant…
These are not fools stumbling into activism. They made a calculated decision to abandon the Lockheed campaign and concentrate on Palantir because Palantir was easier to isolate, easier to target downtown, and more vulnerable as a commercial tenant.

👀 Didn’t have time to watch 4 hours of SNEAKO x Dugin x Jiang? I got you.

This supercut shows exactly what it was, foreign propaganda targeted at young American men and designed to turn them against their own country.

Topics included “the Founding Fathers were heretical Calvinists,” the claim that “the root of the problem is 1694” because that is when “the Bank of England was first chartered,” “the Statue of Liberty is Hecate, the goddess of hell,” and “America is a financial Ponzi scheme… there would be economic collapse, civil war.”

They even spiral into interpreting Trump’s social media posts, casting Trump as a Christ figure “healing” what looked like Jeffrey Epstein, with references to Moloch and the Statue of Liberty layered in.

And if someone is telling you the Enlightenment is evil, rest assured they are advancing an authoritarian worldview.
If you’re a young guy looking for wisdom and finding it in the Sneako universe, give 11 minutes to Roger Scruton. If you can sit through 4 hours of Dugin and Jiang, you can spare a few minutes for a genuinely serious thinker.
And honestly, I think even Sneako started having second thoughts about the stream.

🚨 DSA National Leader David Jenkins Says the Quiet Part Out Loud: “Our Goal Is Communism”

You may have seen the recent New York Post piece on David Jenkins, the DSA mime leader who also holds national leadership. Since mimes are usually silent, it seemed worth letting people hear Jenkins in his own words.

Consider this supercut a helpful guide for anyone still wondering what “libertarian socialism” looks like in practice.

Though he brands himself a libertarian socialist, Jenkins frames the broader DSA project in explicit terms, “Our goal is liberation. Our goal is communism.”

He calls for disbanding the NYPD’s Strategic Response Group, aligns himself with a political tendency that includes anarchists and left communists, and says he was the “only DSA member” at a January 6 counter-protest in Washington.

Speaking about his campaign against the SRG, Jenkins escalates the rhetoric further, “We’re not going anywhere until your goons finally start killing us, because that’s where this shit is going.”

He also fumes that the NYPD protected those attending a rally in support of Daniel Penny, which he denounces as a “disgusting display” by “outside agitators from Long Island” celebrating a “self-deputized racist murderer.”

Stick around, for more clips!
David Jenkins recounts traveling to Washington on January 6, 2021 for what he describes as a counter-protest, then walking to the Capitol and spending an hour watching the riot unfold.

Jenkins says he felt like he had entered “the timeline where the fascists win” and came away convinced that if a coup had succeeded, police in New York would have enforced it.

But the story does not end in Washington. Jenkins says that the very next day he joined a protest organized by NYC DSA and coalition partners in Brooklyn, where he watched “my future mayor Zohran Mamdani” speak outside Chuck Schumer’s apartment demanding “real accountability.”

Jenkins closes by saying, “From that day on, DSA has been my political home.”
You may remember the “pig squeaker” protests from a few years ago. Jenkins took part in them, and in this video he is the first person removed from the hearing.

The abolish-the-police fervor is strong with this one. Despite a literal terrorist attack outside Gracie Mansion, DSA and Mamdani are still charging ahead with calls to disband the SRG.

🏳️‍⚧️ From “Death to America” to “A Strap and a Strategy”: A Look Inside Arm The Dollz 🏳️‍⚧️

Arm The Dollz is a trans revolutionary socialist group using explicit anti-American rhetoric while embracing militant politics.

In its own promo video, the group invokes “Death to America” and “Death to the Zionist Regime,” then warns of “dangerous times” and asks how to prepare for the “war that we’re about to face.”

Pair that with its calls for revolutionary struggle and talk of “a strap and a strategy,” and the picture is pretty clear.

When a group is preparing for open conflict, one can only hope the Feds are already investigating.

🧵Stick around because I am 99% sure one of these speakers was already being investigated by the FBI.
The matching outfit, hair, nails, and bracelets all strongly suggest the first speaker is Ermiya Fanaeian of Armed Queers SLC.

Fanaeian has also been active in Cuba organizing and has said that the experience further radicalized her and helped her “level up” as an organizer.

She shared this on her Instagram story as well. @pythonintercept flagged it for me a few weeks ago, since she is someone many of us already keep an eye on.Image
What many people still do not understand is that Cuba is a radicalizing pipeline for far-left activists. Here is Fanaeian in "her" own words discussing Cuba before we get to the Arm The Dollz manifesto.

As appalling as the Times Square video is, it still does not crack Jennifer Koonings’s top three.

Here she is on a trip to Iran, touring the regime’s National Aerospace Park and acting as an apologist for the Islamic Republic.
Looks like the Axis of Resistance kicked her to the curb job-wise, so now she’s pivoting to the Crackhead Barney strategy of yelling at random people in public. And it wasn’t just Iran apologetics either; she was pushing Hezbollah propaganda too.
And of course, in the immediate aftermath of October 7, she was quick to invoke her medical background to cast doubt on reports of sexual violence.
