And let’s not forget:
this festival falls on the anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder.
Nothing says “honoring the journalist your hosts dismembered while he was still alive, screaming” like trying out your edgiest new masturbation jokes.

Riyadh isn’t a "comedy festival." It’s image-laundering with dick jokes.

Four U.S. citizen children were detained in an ICE raid—zip-tied, separated, held for hours.

Imagine if these were your precious little ones! Can you close your eyes to this depravity? Please don't.

Remember

If this could happen to these little kids, it can happen to yours.

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory.

RIP, Jamal.
