Poland has officially pulled the plug on an upcoming concert by the artist formerly known as Kanye West, now Ye, citing widespread disgust over his persistent pro-Nazi and antisemitic remarks.

The fact that a talent buyer in Poland, of all places, thought this wouldn’t lead to a significant backlash is truly perplexing.
There seems to be a significant disconnect between the artist’s actions and the decisions made by those booking his appearances.… Continue reading

It seems we’re in a peculiar moment where the very notion of what it means to be a Republican is being stretched, and perhaps even redefined, by some of its most vocal members. This discussion is brought into sharp focus by reports that Republicans are now suing for the right to make Nazi salutes, an action stemming from a situation at the University of Florida where a College Republicans chapter was disbanded. The incident involved a photograph of their secretary, Dylan Estrella, appearing to give a “seig heil” Nazi salute, which subsequently went viral. The university’s interim president, Donald Landry, cited a commitment to preventing antisemitism and other forms of discrimination, yet the chapter, represented by Anthony Sabatini, is arguing that this action infringes upon their First Amendment free speech rights.… Continue reading
