The Week in Woke

As readers of this Week in Woke column should know, UCLA was forced to pay out $20 million (IIRC) to Jewish students. The students sued the school for allowing foreign terrorists to establish actual Jew-Free Zones on campus where Jews were not permitted to walk.

Gavin Newsom was asked if his state should assess UCLA with an additional fine for permitting actual pogroms on campus.

He responded: "A fine for what?"

Newsom has persistently refused to acknowledge the problem, as the Trump administration has pushed UCLA to pay a $1 billion fine for violating the civil rights of Jewish and Israeli students, and to make reforms.

Whoops, my "$20 million" memory was waaaaaayy off.

...

A federal judge was incredulous at UCLA's behavior, noting in an August 2014 decision (original emphasis):

In the year 2024, in the United States of America, in the State of California, in the City of Los Angeles, Jewish students were excluded from portions of the UCLA campus because they refused to denounce their faith. This fact is so unimaginable and so abhorrent to our constitutional guarantee of religious freedom that it bears repeating, Jewish students were excluded from portions of the UCLA campus because they refused to denounce their faith. UCLA does not dispute this. Instead, UCLA claims that it has no responsibility to protect the religious freedom of its Jewish students because the exclusion was engineered by third-party protesters. But under constitutional principles, UCLA may not allow services to some students when UCLA knows that other students are excluded on religious grounds, regardless of who engineered the exclusion.

...

He doubled down this week, as Politico reported:

"How could you possibly accept the fine?" an exasperated governor said, referring to the billion-dollar demand or some smaller amount the regents could negotiate. "Fine for what?"

The media and liberal-dominated Presidential Debate Committee let this absurd degenerate partisan clown "moderate" a presidential debate:

John Harwood @JohnJHarwood

all the morons who looked at the two candidates last fall and decided Kamala Harris was the dangerous choice for America ought to recognize by now that they are morons

(though, being morons, maybe they won't)

Just accept that you are officially the Designated Prey Species for the leftwing's predator class, Bigots.

A violent straphanger pummeled a 64-year-old woman when she confronted him about illegally smoking on a Bronx train, cops said -- as they released footage of the still-at-large brute.

The victim was on a northbound No. 2 train at 149th Street-Grand Concourse station around 1:30 a.m. July 26 when a bald, goateed stranger sat across from her and started puffing on a cigarette, police said.

When the victim asked the smoker to put it out, he punched her multiple times all over her body, authorities said.

She was treated at the scene for minor injuries, cops said.

The menace fled on foot and remained on the loose Monday afternoon.

As Peter Schweizer says -- 100% accurately -- the Democrat-Media Cult's plan for crime is just to browbeat citizens into accepting that they're going to be victimized by the left's predator class and they should just shut up about it and let the beatings and rapes happen.

It's just some Justified Violence Against Occupiers and some Impromptu Street Reparations, Bigots.

"Donald Trump has the constitutional authority to do this, since D.C. is not a state," says Peter Schweizer on this week's episode of The Drill Down. "The deeper issue, though, is why has crime been tolerated to the extent that it has in these cities?" Seeing Trump's early success in D.C., Schweizer asks: "Why are these leaders not willing to take steps to address it and deal with it?"

Trump has announced plans to take on crime in other large cities such as Chicago, though his legal authority to do so is questionable and the city and state leaders have loudly denounced him for even threatening to intervene.

Are the overwhelmingly Democratic city and state leaders in California, New York, Illinois, Maryland, and Michigan comfortable tolerating their high levels of crime?

Democrats say that crime in the District is at a 30-year low. But that's not the whole story.

"You find out that a D.C. police commander is under investigation for making changes to the crime statistics. The police union accused the department of deliberately falsifying crime data," co-host Eric Eggers says. He quotes the head of the police union, who said "our members respond to the scene of a felony offense, and they get pressure from a lieutenant or captain to write it up in a different way, so it falls into a different [less serious] classification."

Schweizer says, "That doesn't mean that crime is down. It just means that they're just encouraging people to tolerate it more and they don't want it to be known how bad it is."

In Germany, an American male model intervened when a Maryland Man from Syria was threatening two women on a subway. He wound up being slashed in his face by this Maryland Man.

The heroic American tourist who was stabbed while protecting two women being violently assaulted on a tram in Germany has been identified as a part-time model from upstate New York who was left with gruesome facial injuries.

John Rudat, 21, was traveling in the city of Dresden early Sunday when he stepped in as the women were being attacked by a pair of men, according to an online fundraiser set up by his brother's girlfriend Molly.

The part-time model -- who is also a newly qualified paramedic -- was hospitalized with knife wounds to his face after bravely intervening.

"We got a little scared when we found out," Molly, a fellow first responder, told The Post.

"We didn't know the extent of his injuries. We were at dinner the other day and he called saying, 'Hey, I've been in an incident, I'm OK, just if you can notify my parents because they weren't answering the phone.'

Rudat was staying in Dresden with his former foreign exchange host family when he fell foul of a well-known local thug and drug dealer, according to videos he later posted on social media.

Pictures from the aftermath of the violent altercation show blood splattered over the floor of the tram, along with tissues used by other passengers to treat Rudat's wounds.

One of Rudat's suspected attackers, a 21-year-old Syrian national, was arrested on suspicion of beating up Rudat before his accomplice came back and stabbed the EMT.

So what did his heroism achieve?

Nothing. This is Germany we're talking about.

He was later released by prosecutors in Germany because there was no evidence he carried out the stabbing, German outlet Bild reported on Sunday.

"According to the on-call public prosecutor's assessment, there were insufficient grounds for detention. The knife attack cannot be attributed to him," Senior Public Prosecutor Jurgen Schmidt told Bild.

Europe is essentially an Islamic satrapy now and I don't want any troops stationed there. Out of NATO, now. Or else Europe will demand we honor our Article 5 obligations to bomb Tel Aviv.

I've been posting a lot of pics of Sydney Sweeney, so I'll post his pic, to be fair to garrett:

It takes guts to stand up to a knife.

A federal Obama judge has ordered Alligator Alcatraz to be shut down.

Obviously.

The federal judge who halted construction of "Alligator Alcatraz" argued that the migrant detention center would cause "irreparable harm" to endangered species' habitats. The facility takes up just 0.0005 percent of the nature preserve it is located within.

Judge Kathleen Williams, whom former president Barack Obama appointed in 2011, ruled that the detention facility "creates irreparable harm in the form of habitat loss and increased mortality to endangered species in the area." She barred new migrants from being held there and ordered the removal of some equipment.

But the facility, which was being constructed on a decades-old airport runway, is only 158,000 square feet--a minuscule fraction of the nearly 32 billion-square-foot Big Cypress National Preserve it sits in. First and second base take up about the same share of the Miami Marlins ballpark: Each base is 324 square inches, roughly 0.0005 percent of the field's nearly 134,000,000 square inches.

Department of Homeland Security assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin argued that the area has been developed for years.

"This ruling from an activist judge ignores the fact that this land has already been developed for a decade," she told the Washington Free Beacon. "It is another attempt to prevent the President from fulfilling the American people's mandate to remove the worst of the worst including gang members, murderers, pedophiles, terrorists, and rapists from our country."
...

This isn't the first time Williams, who did not return a request for comment, has ruled against immigration enforcement. In April, she temporarily blocked a new Florida immigration law that barred illegal immigrants from entering the state. The next month, she ruled that the state's Republican attorney general, James Uthmeier, defied her order and held him in civil contempt of court.

NBC "News" is sad: At least 21 hospitals are ditching child genital mutilation.

Or, as they put it:

At least 21 hospitals have ended or restricted trans care for minors since January The disruptions follow multiple efforts by the Trump administration to block such care for patients younger than 19.

More than 20 hospitals and health systems have temporarily or indefinitely rolled back transgender care for minors and some young adults this year amid threats of federal investigations and cuts to government funding, an NBC News analysis found.

Twelve hospitals have announced they have discontinued or will discontinue puberty blockers and hormone therapy for trans patients younger than 19. Four announced they are no longer providing transition-related surgeries to those patients; one said it discontinued gender-affirming care for teens; and four said they temporarily stopped transgender care for those under 19 after an executive order from President Donald Trump in January but resumed after a judge blocked part of the order in March.

In addition to those 21 hospitals, another five have removed webpages dedicated to trans care for minors from their websites this year -- one said it is still providing trans care to minors, one would only say it continues "to comply with applicable state and federal laws and regulations," and three did not respond to requests for comment. And separately, a health center in Iowa stopped providing hormone therapy to trans adults due to a Trump order that prohibits federal funds from being used to "promote gender ideology," the Iowa Capital Dispatch reported.

The changes have come as hospitals attempt to comply with state laws, which in many instances prohibit discriminating against trans people in medical care, as well as federal guidance, which in recent months has threatened to revoke hospitals' federal funding or charge them with civil or criminal penalties if they continue to provide trans care to patients younger than 19.

Patients and families affected by these changes in care have described the effects as devastating.

More devastating than children being murdered by trans lunatics?

The Department of Racial Physics Department of Columbia Law School has fired up the Large Hatred Collider and detected new Microaggression Quarks: avoid the terms "grandfathering" and "crazy uncle." because that's triggering.

Columbia Law School Tells Students To Avoid Offensive Terms Like 'Crazy Uncle' and 'Grandfathering'

The mandatory session featured a former corporate attorney turned diversity consultant who has called on companies to 'defend DEI'

At a mandatory training for Columbia Law students, a vocally anti-Trump diversity consultant warned that the terms "crazy uncle" and "grandfathering" could be offensive and attacked President Donald Trump for complimenting the president of Liberia on his English, calling the comment a "microaggression."

The session, audio of which was obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, came in the wake of the Trump administration's deal with Columbia University, which pledged to mandate anti-Semitism training for all students and faculty. Though a Columbia official said that the training was not intended to meet that obligation, it appears to have been crafted with the deal in mind.

Facilitated by Marguerite Fletcher, a former corporate attorney at WilmerHale, the training was organized around a single "case study" in which a student complains that it is difficult to schedule events around Jewish holidays. In audio of the training, Fletcher--who has wished her clients a "HappyChrismaHanuKwanzakah"--described the complaint as a paradigmatic "microaggression" and encouraged students to list other examples.

When one student mentioned complimenting a foreign person's English, Fletcher launched into a diatribe against Trump, who in July had praised Liberia's president, Joseph Boakai, for speaking better English than his own cabinet.

"I know I shouldn't go political, but our president did that recently to an African president, [the] president of Liberia," Fletcher said. "'You speak English better than the people in my office.' Hmmm... yes, he does."

Elsewhere in the training, Fletcher argued that lawyers should avoid the term "grandfathering" because of its "racist origins" in the Jim Crow South. And she described how, at a "lawyer well-being group" in Massachusetts, she had been chided for using the term "crazy uncle" because it could stigmatize those with mental health issues.

"I learned from it," Fletcher recalled. "I've never said it again. ... If you said something that landed on somebody badly or was inappropriate in some way, wouldn't you want to know?"

The training at Columbia--where one student, Khymani James, infamously said that "Zionists deserve to die"--did not address the sort of comments that made Jewish students fear for their safety during the anti-Israel protests that prompted the Trump administration to freeze more than $400 million in grants and contracts to the university in March.

This isn't recent. I think it's from 1-2 years ago. But it's as current as the day's sun.

Some quick ones:

Boom.
