Now that snipers are trained on peaceful students and professors are being hog-tied by masked men with assault rifles, it'd be great to hear from all the people who made "free speech on US campuses" their life's mission every time they met a student with blue hair.

NEW: I reached out to all 22 Democrats who voted to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib to see if they'd take action against GOP Rep. Tim Walberg for implying we should nuke Gaza. Only three replied. My report:

Dems who censured Rep. Tlaib over Palestine comments largely silent on GOP Rep's call for nukeswww.thehandbasket.co It's telling who does—and does not—get the benefit of the doubt
