Piker was complaining about his poor internet connection which he equated with violence, and caused him to declare I hate this fucking country so much when he lost it on his dog for standing up. Kaya, please, just fucking go b-, just stop! said Piker, who appeared to be reaching for something that caused Kaya to let out a yelp. Jesus Christ, what are you doing? You're being such a baby! added Piker for good measure, before blaming his mom for spoiling her.

The NYT Opinions editors told me to my face that my anti-Hamas and pro-peace views aren't representative of Palestinians and are therefore unworthy of being featured in an opinion op-ed despite trying repeatedly to publish a piece there about Hamas's horrendous behavior and how Palestinians in Gaza are not supportive of the terror group.

As I warned you before, evil never dies. This is the story of the f*cking week the notion that so many people have deep-held resentment for the f*cking president that they're actively fantasizing about his untimely demise at the young age of 79, Piker said. His comment came a few hours after photos and video emerged of Trump heading out to play some golf with his granddaughter, Kai Trump.

Piker sees the current political moment in stark terms, and his recent output suggests he's operating with a new sense of determination.

Piker's nearly two-hour interaction with CBP agents has drawn criticism, sparking debate among fans who believe he should have exercised his right to remain silent. His experience raises concerns about the implications of engaging with law enforcement.

It is an instructive moment. Countries that behave like this towards political commentators and dissenting voices who are their own citizens are either nakedly authoritarian, or well on the way.
