Still , glad Mayor Mamdani was able to speak with Trump about the release of Elaina Aghayeva, a Columbia University student taken by ICE from her dorm this morning. the important thing is she’s home.
The student detained at her Columbia University dorm by ICE officers this morning is Ellie Aghayeva.
She’s a NUEROSCIENCE INFLUENCER 🧠 and was able to spread the word of her own abduction by posting this photo to her 100k followers at 6:30am.
These are the “CRIMINALS” this admin is kidnapping.
The visual framing of this articles front page says more than it realizes.
A brilliant young woman centered between two men in power ; her freedom negotiated in rooms she’s not in.
One is an outstanding mayor, the other the president. Either way, her fate shouldn’t be left to chance like this.
🎯 White nationalism
Trump says he always wanted a Congressional Medal of Honor and if he could give it to himself he would.

I should have rewatched the last couple episodes of season one. Honestly I feel a bit lost in season 2 not sure if it’s me or of the fits just haven’t connected in the show yet

Who else is up binging paradise season 2????🤗🤗🤗

Keeping the slur was a choice and choices on that level are never random. Everything else is a distraction designed to leverage emotions and keep BAFTA in the spotlight.
3. INTENTION
BAFTA runs on a two hour delay so the editing team can edit any “unwanted” parts. When Paul Thomas Anderson said the word “piss” during his speech they dipped the sound out.
2. ASYMMETRIC PROTECTION; whose harm is considered tolerable
Keeping the slur while cutting the political statement reinforces what kinds of speech are TRULY CONSIDERED “disruptive or harmful”.
💥(Hint: it wasn’t the N word)
1. SPECTALIZATION; Turning harm into theatre
There’s notes here about who gets to speak politically on global stages, whose words are sanitized and WHOSE HARM IS TOLERATED AS SPECTACLE.
BAFTA clipped out Akinola Davies Jr's “FREE PALESTINE” remark during his acceptance speech but left in the slur by John Davidson.
Tourette’s aside, Here’s why that matters
A refocused thread.
