Columbia University moved classes online today over safety concerns stemming from pro-Palestinian protesters.

3. Privileged Columbia Protester Who Killed Elderly Couple Years Prior Arrested - New York Post
One of the arrested protesters at Columbia University is a young woman named Isabel Jennifer Seward, and Seward murdered an elderly Vermont couple because she crossed the double line while driving and collided head-on with this elderly couple.
Seward was not charged with murder likely because her father is a high-ranking UPS executive and the family hired the best lawyers to get their daughter out of murder charges. Seward pleaded no contest to a civil traffic ticket and was issued a $220 fine, which her mother paid, and she was never charged with murder.
4. Taylor Swift Under Fire For Lyrics About Wanting To Live In “The 1830s” - PageSix
Taylor Swift is in hot water because she said she wanted to live in the 1830s “but without all the racists.” In one of her newly released songs, “I Hate It Here,” Swift complained about the complexity of living in 2024.
In the song, she says, “My friends used to play a game where we could pick a decade we wished we could live in instead of this. I’d say the 1830s but without all the racists and getting married off for the highest bid.”
Some people are mad because they believe the phrase, “but without all the racists,” isn’t enough to exonerate Swift from claims of racism.
