Monday, May 12, 2025

Social media influencer Hasan Piker on Monday revealed what went down when he was detained and interrogated by border agents the day before. Piker, widely regarded as one of the biggest names in left-wing independent media, has long been critical of President Donald Trump and of the ongoing war in Gaza. He once called the U.S. the "top terrorist" in a sit-down interview with CNN.

He knew exactly who the fuck I was, but he was basically like ... He always made it seem as though he was asking certain things that, after discovering in the process of that conversation, he would ask additional questions ... He kept saying, "What do you do as a job? Do you talk about the news?" And I was like, "Yeah, I talk about the news." And he kept saying, "OK, so when you talk about the news, do you talk about the war?" And I was like, "What do you mean by that?" He's like, "Do you talk about Trump?" And that was the first time where I was like, "What the fuck is this question?" Like, I literally, straight-up told him. I was like, "Why are you asking me this?" I was like, "What does this have to do with anything?"

Detaining and questioning harshly a US citizen for questioning Trump and Israel should be headline news on the front page.

It should be bipartisan outrage.

But its not. It's just expected now.

De-legitimizing Palestinians is the new normal under the Trumpf junta. AIPAC and the MSM set the table for today's dystopia with their decades-long campaign of brain-washing Americans to hate Arabs with Islamophobic tropes and agitprop. This helped get Americans to re-invade Iraq in 2003. How many Arab or Muslim heroes do you see on American TV shows or Hollywood films? I can name one, but there may be a few others out of the thousands of productions.
