Deep dives
Rise in Support for Hamas on College Campuses
Following the recent terrorist attacks in Israel, there has been an increase in support for Hamas on college campuses across the United States. Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), an organization with chapters on over 100 campuses, has been leading the activism. Their toolkit included messaging advising students to view no one in Israel as civilians and promoting confrontation and liberation of colonized land. Specific examples of campus support include UC Berkeley, University of Virginia, UC San Diego, and George Washington University.
Controversial Bill Leads to Increase in Prostitution in California
After the passage of Senate Bill 357 in California, which decriminalizes loitering with the intent to commit prostitution, there has been a noticeable rise in prostitution and related issues. Residents in various areas, such as the Bay Area and San Diego, have observed prostitutes dressed inappropriately and engaging in explicit behavior in broad daylight, causing concerns about noise, drug use, and potential sex trafficking. The law, supported by Democratic State Senator Scott Wiener and the ACLU, has hindered law enforcement's ability to intervene and protect potential trafficking victims.
Maya Kowalski Case Highlights the Erosion of Parental Rights
The case of Maya Kowalski sheds light on the ease with which the state can remove a child from their parents based on vague accusations of abuse. Maya, who suffered from Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, was separated from her parents for three months due to suspicions raised by hospital staff, primarily driven by one CPS contractor accusing the mother of Munchausen syndrome by proxy. The family's fight has brought attention to the low threshold of proof required to sever parental rights and the challenges families face when advocating for their children's well-being.
Several college campuses show support for Hamas and Palestinians, prostitution goes public in California and the parental rights trial of Maya Kowalski. Get the facts first with Morning Wire.
