📹 Jewish activists arrested en masse after shutting down NY Stock Exchange in pro-Palestine sit-in

More than 200 Jewish pro-Palestine protesters were arrested Monday after demonstrators stormed the New York Stock Exchange and staged a sit-in outside, the New York Post reported. Around 500 protesters, many from the group Jewish Voice for Peace, gathered outside the Manhattan landmark chanting "free Palestine" and holding signs reading “Jews for Palestine’s freedom.”

Before the stock market’s opening bell some demonstrators chained themselves to the building's doors while others removed jackets that had concealed pro-Palestine slogans, footage showed. The protest was aimed at pressuring the US government to stop sending weapons to Israel, with protesters demanding funds be directed toward FEMA instead.

Police arrested at least 206 protesters and transported them away in buses. According to Beth Miller, the political director of Jewish Voice for Peace, the goal was to disrupt business on Wall Street to draw attention to the ongoing conflict.

🥴 Kamala Harris’ ‘Smart on Crime’: A little too smart with the copy-paste?

Vice President Kamala Harris has joined an exclusive club – where plagiarism isn’t just an academic vice but a political tradition.

Conservative activist Christopher Rufo took to Twitter to make the allegation, backed by an investigation from Austrian "plagiarism hunter" Stefan Weber, revealing that Harris’ 2009 book ‘Smart on Crime’ may have borrowed a bit too much. Whole sections seem to mirror sources like an Associated Press article or a Wikipedia page.

Weber pointed out Harris’ other creative liberties, including fabricated references and word-for-word lifts without so much as a quotation mark.

But politicians, unlike journalists and academics, have a knack for surviving such scandals. After all, President Joe Biden managed to overcome his own plagiarism controversies from his law school days and his 1987 presidential run.

Perhaps the real takeaway here isn’t that Harris borrowed a few lines, but that in politics, a little creative borrowing is just par for the course—especially if you do it with confidence.
