New York University has taken down the page for a class taught by New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani’s (D.) housing czar, Cea Weaver, after Weaver’s anti-white social media posts and communist views resurfaced this month.

Guest Column: I’m Also a Victim of Zionist Aggression and Islamophobia. Where Are My Encampments?
In 2024, I watched and cheered as American students risked their lives to stand on the right side of history. They skipped meals, slept in tents, and boycotted exams. In the course of this honorable struggle, they transformed the manicured lawns of America’s finest universities into moral battlegrounds, the epicenter of a globalized intifada.

‘What a clown’: Amid claims that state trooper hit anti-ICE protester with cruiser in middle of road, cops bring the receipts
The Tennessee Highway Patrol said Tuesday that social media posts have alleged that one of its troopers hit an individual on a Memphis street with a cruiser. But the THP said the claims are “false.”
“Have a look for yourself,” the agency said amid its release of a dashcam video of the incident.
‘My God, this just keeps getting even more ridiculous.’
The clip — time-stamped Sunday just after 5 p.m. — shows a male dressed in an orange vest and carrying what appears to be a walkie-talkie exiting an SUV parked sideways on a street and approaching the oncoming state trooper’s vehicle as anti-ICE protesters mingle in the background.
The male raises his arms and blocks the trooper from advancing on the road — as if he were permitted to do so.

What’s more, he wags his finger “no” as if he’s giving the trooper an order — all while the trooper’s cruiser appears to be flashing its lights.
The trooper, as you would expect, is livid and hollers at the male from inside the cruiser: “Move! Get outta my way! Get outta my way! Move! Move! Move! Move! Move! Move! Get out! Come here!”
But the male not only fails to obey the trooper’s commands, he actually holds on to the front of the cruiser and drops the rest of his body down.

Then he pops back up, wags his finger again, and walks back to the SUV.

The THP in response wrote, “We respect and protect the right of people to protest peacefully. That right, however, does not include entering active roadways or placing themselves in danger.”
The agency added, “In this case, video clearly shows the individual holding onto the front of the trooper’s vehicle, lying down, then standing right back up afterward and leaving the scene under his own power. At no point does the video show the individual being run over or injured, despite the narratives circulating on social media.”
The incident occurred during an “ICE Out for Good” protest by Indivisible Memphis, WSMV-TV reported, following the fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis last week.
Blaze News reached out to the THP and inquired if the male who blocked the road has been identified. The license plate on the SUV appears to be from Tennessee, and the plate number is clearly visible in the video. However, the THP on Tuesday didn’t immediately respond to Blaze News’ inquiry.
But commenters under the THP’s Facebook post have been letting their views be known loud and clear; as of Tuesday afternoon, about 1,300 — and counting — comments have rolled in. The following are a few of them.
- “Why is beetle juice in the middle of the road?” one commenter asked. “What a clown!”
- “Imagine thinking you have the authority to tell a cop to stop driving,” another user noted.
- “Make batons great again,” another commenter quipped.
- “Why wasn’t he arrested?” another user inquired. “Nobody should have the right to try and get in front of a police officer to cause disruption or stop their vehicle or put their hands on their car. The more these fools find out [there] are real consequences, they may slow down the instigating and getting in officer[s’] faces. That’s not peaceful protest at that point.”
- “Protest all you want, but once you start blocking traffic, that’s when the problem starts with the police,” another commenter said, adding that “some are looking for their 10 minutes of fame … is it worth it???”
- “My God, this just keeps getting even more ridiculous,” another user observed. “Get out of the road; you can still protest, [but] stop getting in the way of traffic! There could be a medical emergency that somebody is trying to tend to, and you are delaying care which could cost somebody’s life! Stop acting like children! STAY ON THE SIDEWALK!!!”

Trump-appointed prosecutor who uncovered Somali fraud in Minnesota resigns
President Donald Trump appointed 47-year-old career federal prosecutor Joseph Thompson in June to serve as the acting U.S. attorney for the District of Minnesota.
Thompson, who expressed an interest at the outset in combating “the shocking and unacceptable levels of fraud in our state government programs,” prosecuted numerous cases of social services fraud even after he was relegated to the status of assistant attorney following the U.S. Senate’s confirmation of Daniel Rosen as the Gopher State’s top federal prosecutor.
Evidently Thompson wasn’t long for the role of second fiddle.
‘His prosecutorial record gives him the opportunity to take a political leap if he wants.’
Sources familiar with Thompson’s decision told the New York Times that Thompson was one of several federal prosecutors who quit on Tuesday.
People supposedly familiar with Thompson’s decision told the Times that he objected both to the alleged push by senior Justice Department officials for a criminal probe into anti-ICE activist Renee Good’s actions as well as to the DOJ’s refusal to loop state officials into its investigation into whether Good’s fatal shooting was lawful.

Thompson allegedly wanted the shooting investigated as a civil rights matter and was poised to investigate it in concert with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. His decision to work with the state agency was, however, reportedly overruled by DOJ officials.
The Justice Department did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.
While Thompson’s office has told multiple outlets that he would not be commenting on his resignation Tuesday, he told the Minnesota Star Tribune, “It has been an honor and a privilege to represent the United States and this office.”
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), who is now facing the threat of impeachment, said in response to the news that “Joe is a principled public servant who spent more than a decade achieving justice for Minnesotans. This is a huge loss for our state.”
“It’s also the latest sign Trump is pushing nonpartisan career professionals out of the justice department, replacing them with his sycophants,” added Walz.
This is certainly a different tune than Walz sang last week when the failed vice presidential candidate not only accused Thompson of defamation but suggested he “would have been let go by another administration.”
While Walz rushed to presume Thompson resigned on principle, there have long been rumors he has political ambitions outside the DOJ.
After being moved to the role of assistant attorney, Thompson told the Tribune in November, “I knew it was a temporary position, and at some point they would confirm my replacement, and when that happens, I’m gonna wake up the next day and figure out what to do with the rest of my life whether it’s in the office, outside the office, we’ll see.”
“Whether he chooses to pursue public office is entirely up to him,” David Schultz, professor of political science and legal studies at Hamline University, said at the time. “However, his prosecutorial record gives him the opportunity to take a political leap if he wants.”
