The emails that you’re seeing now are news in themselves, but that’s because of how they’re coming out—a congressional committee released them—& the context in which they’re being viewed. A guy emailing a reporter talking about old girlfriends or saying someone is “dirty” is not a whole news story.

At UNB, professors and students were surveilled for Palestine solidarity because, per campus security, the university is the President’s “house.”
