EVERY RECORD HAS BEEN ALTERED: At Harvard-Hosted ‘Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon,’ Law Students Target the Pages of Firms That Criticized School’s Response to Anti-Semitism. Anti-Israel Harvard Law School students organized a workshop on the Ivy League campus earlier this month to edit the Wikipedia pages of more than a dozen prominent law firms, singling out some that threatened to stop recruiting at the school over its failure to rein in anti-Semitic activity. Harvard’s National Lawyers Guild chapter, a left-wing legal advocacy group, hosted the “Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon” on April 2 at Harvard Law’s WCC student center, according to an announcement on Harvard Law’s website. Third-year Harvard Law student Corinne Shanahan, an organizer with Harvard Out of Occupied Palestine, organized the clinic for students to “gather data to edit the Wikipedia pages of Big Law firms to reflect cases they have recently argued.” Two days later, Harvard Law student Aashna Avachat edited the Wikipedia pages of 14 law firms, mostly to add details of their representation of clients that the activist students deemed to be unsavory, according to a Washington Free Beacon review of Wikipedia edit logs. Avachat edited the pages for the firms Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett to soften the language about anti-Semitic activity on college campuses. Amid a wave of anti-Semitic protests following the Hamas attack on Israel, the two firms warned Harvard Law and others that they would cut back on recruiting on their campuses for failing to rein in anti-Semitic incidents. The edit logs show Avachat changed the term “antisemitic incidents” to “pro-Palestine protests,” and reworded references to “incidents targeting Jewish students” to incidents that the law firms “described … as antisemitic.” Avachat herself was involved in one incident at Harvard in which her law school classmate, Ibrahim Bharmal, accosted and shoved a Jewish student during an anti-Israel “die-in.” Avachat said she witnessed the incident and claimed Bharmal was protecting “peaceful protesters” against an “aggressive” Jewish student. Both Bharmal and another student activist, Elom Tettey-Tamaklo, were charged in connection with the “die-in,” a case that Harvard delayed by refusing to cooperate with local prosecutors. https://freebeacon.com/campus/at-harvard-hosted-wikipedia-edit-a-thon-law-students-target-the-pages-of-firms-that-criticized-schools-response-to-anti-semitism/

Fight Fiercely, Harvard!

"Would [Harvard] recognize the Ku Klux Klan? For me, the National Lawyers Guild and the Ku Klux Klan are indistinguishable in terms of ideology...." "If [Harvard] wouldn't recognize Klansmen or if it wouldn't recognize a group of sexists who called for the end of equality for women, then it shouldn't recognize the pro-Hamas National Lawyers Guild.... If this were the1950s and there was a university say the University of Mississippi Old Miss that was forcibly integrated and it was allowing... some of the Klansmen who were students to harass black students, and the federal government came in and said 'Unless you stop Klansmen from harassing black students we're going to cut off federal funding,' people would be applauding that.'..."

Japan’s Economic Revitalization Minister Ryosei Akazawa Japan to kick off tariff negotiations with Trump in Washington Emily Crane President Trump said Japan is set to kick off tariff negotiations with the US in Washington on Wednesday — becoming one of the first countries to test his willingness to relent on the sweeping tariffs. “Japan is coming in today to negotiate Tariffs, the cost of military support, and ‘TRADE FAIRNESS’,” Trump said in a Truth Social post. “I will attend the meeting, along with Treasury & Commerce Secretaries. Hopefully something can be worked out which is good (GREAT!) for Japan and the USA!” It comes a day after the Trump administration said it had been presented with offers from at least 15 nations for bespoke trade deals following the president’s announcement last week of a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs. More than 75 countries have reached out to request talks, too. https://nypost.com/2025/04/16/world-news/japan-to-kick-off-tariff-negotiations-with-trump-in-washington/

Another school shooting - Texas

Another Homelander classic. This "tool to kill" that you are fixated on is an inanimate object. . . . . . . . . . . . . . That is the fact. The person who picks it up and uses it to kill, just as with a knife, a car, a club, THAT PERSON IS RESPONSIBLE. As @Orlando Buffalo stated it is no longer useful to debate this with the extremists who cannot grasp that fact. -
Not win the nation, but "WIN THE THREAD" childish is understating it. But you knew what I meant. .

So no real response. Just a poor attempt at wit. Not surprising at all -

CIVIL RIGHTS UPDATE: Missouri House Votes to Allow Guns on Public Transit, Lower Concealed Carry Age. The Missouri House just sent a clear message: gun rights shouldn’t stop at the bus stop. In a 106-45 vote on Thursday, lawmakers passed House Bill 328, a measure that would legalize concealed carry on public transit and lower the minimum age for a concealed carry permit from 19 to 18. The bill now heads to the Missouri Senate for consideration. Currently, even Missourians with valid concealed carry permits are barred from bringing firearms onto public transportation. But that could soon change if HB 328 becomes law. “It’s about time that we allow those people who use public transportation to exercise the same rights as everyone else in our state,” said Rep. Tim Taylor (R-Bunceton), the bill’s sponsor. For many gun rights advocates, the current law forces permit holders to disarm just because they choose to ride the bus or train. Opposition to the bill was sharp, with critics arguing that expanding where guns can legally go won’t improve public safety. https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/missouri-guns-public-transit-concealed-carry/ -
