My favorite "media colleague" troll has now threatened to find me and punch me lol.
He's so dumb. Literally, there's a Twitter thread of him threatening violence.
This guy is so insecure.
What really made him flip is out when I called him the Fredo of the family after his repeated insults.

A useful read to anyone of targeted immigration status who wants to fly domestically. It would be good to have a plan for what to do when the red X comes up. For you and your friends.
I spoke with Any Lucía López Belloza, the Babson College student who was on her way to surprise her family for Thanksgiving when ICE deported her.
"My 5-year-old sister still believes that I might go home for Christmas," she tells me.

<div class="content">
<div class="field field-field-text"><p>South Africa cancelled visa exemptions for Palestinians following an investigation into a mysterious charter flight that brought dozens of people from Gaza into the country without proper documentation last month.</p>
<p>In a statement, South Africa’s Department of Home Affairs said investigations had confirmed “the deliberate and ongoing abuse of the 90-day visa exemption for Palestinian ordinary passport holders by Israeli actors linked to ‘voluntary emigration’ efforts for residents of the Gaza Strip”.</p>
<p>The controversy began in mid-November, when 153 men, women and children <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/south-africa-accepts-plan-palestinians-flushed-out-gaza" target="_blank">arrived in Johannesburg</a> on a flight from Nairobi. They were held on the aircraft for more than 12 hours because their passports did not carry Israeli exit stamps.</p>
