MUST READ: The two Harvard Law professors leading the efforts to "resist" the Trump Administration are Niko Bowie and Andrew Crespo. Here they are at an unauthorized graduation event in 2024, celebrating anti-Israel protestors who lied to a church in order to secure the space.

One of the leaders of this unauthorized event was Harvard Law student Lea Kayali '24, a member of Boston's "Palestine Youth Movement," who proudly identified herself as part of the "student intifada," has publicly stated her commitment to "dismantling Zionism," and has said "“We will not rest until Palestine is free, from the river to the sea,” “F**k every colonizer and settler,” and, “F**k Israel.”

She also participated in the illegal encampments, encouraged them to continue in defiance of campus rules, and helped organize an anti-Israel graduation walkout, which ended with a march to a church which she and fellow organizers lied to in order to secure the space for their alternate "pro-Palestine" ceremony.

Professors Crespo and Bowie are the architects of the lawsuit filed last week against the Trump Administration seeking a preliminary (and premature) injunction against revocation of federal funds. That lawsuit was filed not by Harvard officially, but rather by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) and its Harvard chapter, which Crespo servers as its supposed "general counsel."

These are the people encouraging Harvard and other universities to fight the Trump Administration in hopes of keeping taxpayer money while bullying Jews on campus, violating university rules, and encouraging students to violate them.

Afif Aqrabawi is the next America-hating, Hamas-supporting foreigner on U.S. soil, at MIT, who should be arrested, detained, and deported. Please share. 🧵

This U.S. soldier died from injuries sustained during the Biden-Harris administration’s foolish mission to deliver aid to Palestinians in Gaza via a temporary pier. It was a structural failure. Hamas attacked it regularly. It wasted $230 million. It cost this American his life. If American troops were going to be put into harm’s way — and all deployments involve risk, from both combat and non-combat causes — that should only have been done to help rescue hostages, including the Americans still being held there, or to neutralize terrorist activity.

Not to give Palestinians food and other aid after Hamas hoarded so much of it into its terrror tunnels under Gaza. Not while Hamas continued (and still continues) starving, torturing, and killing hostages — again, including Americans — in those same tunnels. Not while Hamas continues attacking Israel, stealing more aid, and re-selling it to people in Gaza at a premium.

Here’s what @Harvard did to me. It is deplorable. Harvard is institutionally antisemitic to present day — and its current president Alan Garber, provost John Manning, and law school dean John Goldberg do not care. They support this.

Sometimes, I still can’t believe all of this actually happened (see quoted tweet, and quoted tweet thread within it), but it did. A rather unusual experience, but I handled it well, and the matter ended in the right way. (He was convicted a few weeks ago.)

And before you ask, no, I did not get (or even seek) any kind of whistleblower / human source compensation or award related to my findings / disclosures about the company’s use of, and payments to, “third party” service providers — which actually turned out to be entities owned and operated by the same fraudster, as mentioned in the March 2023 Washington Post article about the fraudster’s arrest.

Just did what was right, and moved on.

I’m not sure what happened to all of the $3 million seized, or to the other tens of millions held in the name of the company by other entities that were also seized as part of the $630 million seizure mentioned in the initial charging documents (which, according to a superseding indictment, may actually have been many tens or hundreds of millions more). Fortunately, some of the money was returned to the victims of the wider fraud / racketeering scheme of which the company was just one part.

Life is crazy, folks. But you’ve always got to do the right thing. Something I never mentioned publicly before, but can now. Six months after I left the company in 2022, a platform user who had used the platform to make numerous explicit threats to kill or grievously harm people (including to kill @Mike_Pence) was on trial in state court for making those threats.

Even though I no longer worked at the company, I had been its Director of Trust and Safety at the time the threats were made (and at the time that law enforcement reached out to us about it), and I remembered the situation very well, including the user’s handle, real name, the subpoena for his registration information, and his dangerous posts.

The company had never bothered to hire a new Director of Trust and Safety, which wasn’t surprising given their disturbing approach to platform safety (see quoted tweet thread). The prosecutors reached out to me to ask me to be a prosecution witness at the trial. They didn’t force me to do so, but they needed me, so I did. I flew to that state courthouse a few days later, got on the witness stand with the defendant and jury in the courthouse looking at me listening to me, and testified.

He was convicted, too. As a result, he can’t own a firearm. Which, given the dozens of violent threats and death threats he made, is probably a good thing.

Like I said, life is crazy.

I don’t speak on behalf of AIPAC or work for AIPAC, but for two years, I and other young Americans who care about the U.S.-Israel relationship served on its Young Leadership Council in New York, advancing its mission to support America’s relationship with our ally Israel. 🧵 In the wake of Jamaal Bowman’s primary congressional campaign loss to Democrat George Latimer last night, Bowman’s campaign, supporters, and fellow-travelers have begun demonizing the critical work that AIPAC’s PAC is doing to support Democrats who support our diverse and democratic ally Israel.

UPDATE: I filed a Title VI antisemitism complaint against @Harvard and @Harvard_Law with @usedgov @EDcivilrights ("OCR") in mid-November 2023. OCR still has not opened it for investigation. (This is separate from a different OCR complaint about *other* instances of antisemitism, at Harvard College, that OCR did open.) OCR has neither rejected my complaint nor opened it for investigation, but rather has continued stating to me, via written correspondence from the OCR attorney assigned to the case, that the complaint is still "under evaluation."

After I initially filed the complaint, the OCR attorney asked me for additional materials and evidence, and I satisfied those requests in full. But the case is still "under evaluation," even though I filed it over three months ago. Meanwhile, OCR quickly opened an investigation into a complaint alleging anti-Palestinian harassment at Harvard -- a mere eight days after it was filed.

It turns out that the OCR attorney assigned to the case, Emma Kim Milligan, is a Harvard College and @Harvard_Law graduate who (according to LinkedIn) was a research assistant for Professor Jon Hanson -- the very same @Harvard_Law professor who called Jews and Israelis "bigoted" "colonizers" who "blow up babies" and called the @EdWorkforceCmte hearing on antisemitism "bullshit." (See quoted tweet below.)

This is a terrible conflict of interest -- a Harvard double-alumnus is in charge of deciding if OCR opens an investigation in response to my complaint against Harvard University and Harvard Law School, and she used to be a research assistant for a Harvard Law professor who, as it turns out, is openly antisemitic. No wonder my complaint has not yet been opened for investigation.

I think it's about time that OCR opened my complaint for investigation -- and going forward, OCR should not have its evaluations of antisemitism complaints managed by OCR attorneys with obvious conflicts of interest. If you can believe it, my OCR complaint that is still "under evaluation," the OCR complaint that *was* already opened (filed by a different complainant), and the civil suit against Harvard that mentions HLS Professor Jon Hanson, are about *different* situations and circumstances. There's so much insanity that has occurred at Harvard to Jewish students that these two OCR complaints, and the separate civil lawsuit, don't even overlap.

Folks, it’s very simple. It is ILLEGAL for schools to ignore anti-semitic chants and protests. It is a violation of Title VI for ANY school (including private schools) that receives federal funds (including federal student loan dollars) to ignore hostile environment harassment.

Constant on-campus chanting of “from the river to the sea” creates a hostile environment for Jews, just as chanting “pick cotton, boy” creates a hostile environment for African-American students. It is ILLEGAL for schools to fail to take corrective action against such protestors.

The @Harvard_Law administration continues to ignore my requests for it to fill out this basic and required paperwork, thus preventing me from enrolling at any other law school (or other graduate or professional school) toward a degree for nearly FIVE years now. This is insanity. For the record, all current and former students are entitled to this, without exception. Not providing this makes it impossible for me to transfer or restart my studies elsewhere, as it is a required document for application/enrollment, from all previous schools attended.

So based that in May 2018, the Dean of Students at @Harvard_Law tried to disappear me by lying on letterhead to the administration that I had told the registrar that I didn’t want to take finals.🙄

Over two years later, *a wild audio file appeared*, proving that she lied. (1/10)

A YouTube link to the audio was sent to 100+ full-time HLS faculty, 50+ admins, and Harvard’s president; several clicked on it. The HLS dean of students, caught in her lie, quit two months later to became a diversity officer at the opera. @ConceptualJames @realchrisrufo (2/10)
