They have to hold him to stop him from getting to the quarterback.“That’s what I saw on film. And then when I got here and met him, I could relate to him. I...

Five groups providing public defender services in New York City are cracking down on speech about Palestine. Leadership at the groups are pushing back on statements or internal communications that reference the siege on Gaza, and at least one staffer has been forced to resign. Two of the organizations sent cease-and-desist letters to union shops considering resolutions calling for a ceasefire.
