Evidence? That's one of them fancy treasonous words. You want to end up in El Salvador, too?
No shit, this is why every time I see her name I post the link to her article so people can see how absolutely disgusting it is to arrest her for it
And here I go again
- Thank you for sharing this. It is always so good to read the primary source documents for big events in the news and then compare it to all of the journalistic and political spin.
  
  Its literally the most toothless request for their college to follow BDS which the student body had already deliberated, voted on, and approved. The university had stated they would go along with the student governments decision if they could hold a vote and then just ignored them; so they wrote this article. I believe it is journalistic malpractice to discuss this case without showing the speech which she is currently imprisoned for.
  I will say, even if she had declared material support for hamas and demanded an armed struggle against the united states that is still literally her right to do so and she could not be imprisoned for that speech. It's the whole point of free speech.
  Nazis go around saying death to all jews and the supreme court rubber stamps it. Calling this antisemitism as a defense is laughable.
