Radio host resigns after admitting Biden aides gave her questions for interview - Lemmy Today
The outlet, which describes itself as Pennsylvania’s only African American-owned
and operated radio station, also said the White House’s decision to supply
questions to Lawful-Sanders prolonged a historical practice of marginalizing and
“de-legitimizing Black voices” in US media. “Lawful-Sanders was one of two
battleground state radio hosts who aired an interview with Biden on 4 July and
described being given questions by the president’s staff ahead of the
conversation.”

Biden’s migrant order is recipe for chaos at US border: ‘It will only cause suffering’ - Lemmy Today
To suspend the number of people who can apply for asylum, Biden is relying on
the same mechanism Donald Trump turned to during his presidency: section 212(f)
of the Immigration and Nationality Act. But in the 40 years since the US created
its asylum system, no other Democrat suspended people’s ability to seek refuge
in the US – an international right. Moreover, under the order, people
apprehended near the border will have to “manifest” their fear of prosecution if
deported, and will not be explicitly asked by immigration officials, as has been
the case for decades. This practice, known unofficially as a “shout test”, could
turn back those who could still be eligible for protections.

Columbia Law Review board shutters website over article critical of Israel - Lemmy Today
Student editors at the Columbia Law Review say they were pressured by the
journal’s board of directors to halt publication of an academic article written
by a Palestinian human rights lawyer that accuses Israel of committing genocide
in Gaza and upholding an apartheid regime. When the editors refused the request
and published the piece on Monday morning, the board – composed of faculty and
alumni from Columbia University’s law school – shut down the law review’s
website entirely. It remained offline on Tuesday evening, a static homepage
informing visitors the domain “is under maintenance”.
