Four lawsuits alleging Hamas ties against Students for Justice in Palestine, the AP, UNRWA, and crypto exchange Binance share many of the same plaintiffs.
State-level Republican officials have also taken steps to legalize the suppression of SJP. In March, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued an executive order targeting campus activism, calling on all the state’s higher education institutions to “review and update free speech policies” to address antisemitism. The order defined the slogan “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” as antisemitic and linked the use of the widely adopted phrase to Hamas.
And in October, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ordered colleges to shut down all SJP chapters. The University of Florida SJP chapter sued DeSantis in November and said the governor’s order was a violation of free speech. A federal court denied the chapter’s request for a preliminary injunction in January and found that Florida officials did not intend to deactivate all SJP chapters after comments by the Florida University System chancellor walking back DeSantis’s order.
In October, Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares opened an investigation into AMP and said his office had reason to believe that the organization was soliciting contributions without proper registration. Miyares, a Republican, had also called on state law enforcement agencies to donate tactical gear to Israeli citizens.
Last week, Congress adopted a resolution that would further chill speech from organizations like SJP. The resolution employs a controversial definition of antisemitism that includes any attempts to draw comparisons between the actions of the Israeli government and Nazis. The House voted 320 to 91 to adopt the working definition of antisemitism published in 2016 by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. The lead author of the definition has said it “was never intended to be a campus hate speech code.”

There’s still a surprising amount of publications where you can get around the paywall with that. Images/videos may not load, but you can get to the article itself.
ppl always posting paywalled intercept articles. do you all have subscriptions to it?

It’s not paywalled for me?
Yeah, I didn’t even know they had a paywall.

Firefox reader mode circumvents the “paywall”
Is that an add on? I can’t find it in the settings on Mobile
Its built in. If its supported on the page its in the URL bar.
Thanks
looked up the archive page: https://archive.ph/Wcbw0 but it appears to be fucked up, text is cut off
Intercept doesn’t have a paywall, though…
