  1. Seriously? You're going to deny what you said? What did you mean by "Palestinians and many, many muslims" then?
  2. You were linking an old charter to make a libelous argument directed at all Palestinians, so GTFO.
  3. you should know that charter was replaced
  4. His lower back, to be exact
  5. Yeah it will blow his mind when he finds out who propped up Hamas in and before 2023
  6. That's not all I'm saying. Nothing in the Middle East happens in a vacuum.
  7. Brush up on your critical thinking a bit. There's a reason why Hamas is the only available option for people seeking emancipation. That is one of many reasons why I made sure to remind readers that nothing in the Middle East happens in a vacuum.
  8. Dude, the only thing I asked was for reflection and it's clear from your mechanical pushback and accusations that some people aren't ready to accept that Palestinians are human beings worthy of human rights or capable of experiencing the same kind of anger we're feeling. If you think there existed any emancipatory alternatives to Hamas in 2023, by all means, enlighten us.
  9. I think it's a good time to reflect a moment. What we witnessed on the 40 Acres yesterday was a profound example of injustice, favoritism, and abuse of state power. If you are motivated to protest, to change things, to resist, that is all part of the human experience. Humans are innately drawn to freedom, and when they are not free, they are drawn to emancipatory forces. However upset we are about seeing our fellow Longhorns briefly subjected to unprovoked violence by the state, I hope we also reflect on how those valid feelings are and for generations have been elicited by the people of Gaza and the West Bank. They, too, are motivated to protest, to change things, and to resist. Those people are not free and have never known freedom, so they are drawn to emancipatory forces. I think we should reflect on how it's all too easy for us, living in our "free" (relative to Gaza) countries, to tsk tsk at Palestinians for sympathizing with (and in a few cases, providing material support to) a particular emancipatory force of which we disapprove. We can rightly condemn the killing and kidnapping of civilians. These people have suffered unimaginably, several orders of magnitude greater injustices than the injustice currently responsible boiling our blood. Consider, if you can, how much rage would be within you if DPS had been as brutal to your loved ones on campus as IDF is to people who are forced to drive with green license plates. You have every right to wish the worst for Abbott, the board of regents, and every other crony who made this possible. All I ask is that we also acknowledge that nothing in Israel happens in a vacuum, and much of the rage in that region depicted in the media is as valid if not more so than the rage we feel towards Abbott. We shouldn't act so surprised or clutch pearls when a few people took the predictable step of seeking emancipation through the only means available to them.
  10. Hartzell Is Not Our Standard
  11. Ever since the Lege has begun micromanaging the state schools, it looks a hell of a lot like the hamfisted imposition of antiwoke ideology is doing to UT the exact same thing that it has been doing to Twitter since Elon started micromanaging it.
  12. I'm not here yet, but only because I'm waiting for more facts to come out. I'm about 80% there, though.
  13. search the hashtag and you'll see a fair number of UT profs posting it but I can't tell where it originated. the hashtag dates back to the firing of DEI staff though.
  14. Let's not delve into Semite semantics
  15. Derka's Mom is the real MVP
  16. ACLU reading these public communications like
  17. Not to derail too much but Oli London is definitely a character.

  19. should be fun to FOIA this publicity stunt
  20. DPS are keystone cops. There's a reason it took a federal agency to take out the Uvalde shooter.

    2023 Heisman

    I'm okay with this, as long as it still has an enormous asterisk.
  22. First thing will be changing the lyrics to I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THE RAILROAD
