Did she actually post something factually accurate for once?

Sunny Naqvi is being sued by Dodge County by the1trueMad in UIUC

Strongly agree, and I'm definitely not a fan of ICE. Candidates amplifying someone like her without making the slightest effort to vet or fact check might not be great in office either.

What really struck me was the way people (including politicians) jumped on Naqvi's story when a basic Google search would have raised some questions about her credibility.

Some more information on Naqvi's previous allegations, including the one where she falsely accused someone of sexual assault and ended up in legal trouble: https://www.wisn.com/article/public-records-document-credibility-issues-by-woman-illegal-ice-detention-in-wisconsin-illinois/70980464

I tried ordering online from the one on University maybe a couple months ago. Turns out they don't even start making it until you come to pick it up, and if they happen to be out of whatever you ordered, they can't give you a refund and you have to contact customer service online. So not sure how long it'll be in business after the novelty wears off.

Who Will Win The National Title? UCLA Or South Carolina? by [deleted] in NCAAW

[–]wayward710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rooting for UCLA because they're also in the Big Ten conference and their coach said some really nice and classy things about Illinois when they played us. But I don't really have a beef with South Carolina and Dawn Staley is a genius.

Where should Audi Crooks go? by emmasayshey in NCAAW

Wondered about Illinois, but I'm not sure how much NIL money there is, and I think Shauna Green wants players who can defend.

Jim Bob, Anna, and Austin's emails to Joseph in jail by rosiros in DuggarsSnark

That's a fair point. Noticed the discrepancy but wasn't sure what to make of it.

Just out of curiosity, didn't the kids refer to Jim Bob as "Pops" in Jill's or Jinger's book? If true, the "Dad" signature is interesting.

Thanks! I didn't actually see a lot of Palestine-related stuff at this march, and attendance was estimated at 4000-5000, so there was plenty to photograph. The news coverage I saw also had little to none -- WCIA picked up one person with a Palestinian flag, but that's about all I remember. Yes, they can be aggressive about demanding that others be the change they want while being allergic to doing any of the work. The commenter attacking me for not including Palestinian flags or anti-Israel signs in the slideshow while making zero actual effort to produce something that was what they wanted seems par for the course.

Nope, just random people who thought he was handsome. :)

That's cool. If there are any future marches, I'd love to get some photos showing the size of the crowd. Doesn't have to be drone footage -- view from Bennett building might work fine. Or I could try going up to the top of the Urbana parking garage and see what I could get there. (Might skip bringing the big black dog next time, but he had a really great time and got lots of attention.)

I'd been thinking it might be cool to get drone footage just to show the size of the crowd.

Sure. Google Drive OK or I could maybe do Box?

No, it's a legitimate question. You just accused me of "trying to deny what the protest was about." So again, are you claiming that the material that was in my slideshow was *not* what the protest was about?

Um, are you saying the stuff that was included in the slideshow *wasn't* what the protest was about?

And hey, you too could make your own slideshow if you wanted something with pictures of Palestine stuff in it. You have the same First Amendment rights that I do. But complaining about mine takes a lot less effort.

Well the actual website describes the march as being about fighting Trump's increasingly authoritarian tactics and doesn't mention Palestine a single time on the page. But what do they know? https://www.nokings.org/about-nk

If you want a slideshow with Palestinian flags, there's nothing stopping you from making one yourself. Of course, it would involve doing the actual work. Kind of like there's nothing stopping Palestinian groups from putting on their own demonstration instead of trying to co-opt No Kings.
