FBI snoops on shady sites in connection with shooting
The FBI has been investigating two websites in connection with the Club Q shooting in Colorado Springs. Each site hosts racist videos and forum threads under the banner of "free speech," according to Xavier Kraus, the former neighbor of the man arrested for the violent act.

According to an internet archive, one of the sites previously hosted video of the mass shooting at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, that left ten people dead. The video was then shared on sites like 8kun, which was known as 8chan at the time.

A spokesperson for the FBI told NBC News, "The Denver FBI field Office, the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, National Security Division, and the US Attorney's Office for the District of Colorado are aware of the situation regarding the shooting in Colorado Springs at Club Q, and we will review all available facts of the incident to determine what federal response is warranted."

Orthodox Jewish school must recognize student group, court rules
An appeals court in New York ruled on Thursday last week that Yeshiva University must formally recognize LGBTQ student group Y.U. Pride Alliance. The Jewish university had refused to do so, claiming that it would violate its religious rights and go against its values.

The Appellate Division in Manhattan upheld a judge's ruling that the university didn't qualify as a "religious corporation," which — under New York City Human Rights Law — would have exempted it from prohibitions against discrimination by a place or provider of public accommodation.

Yeshiva said in a statement that it would "continue to appeal to defend against the claim that we are not a religious institution."

In September, the Supreme Court declined to block a New York judge's similar ruling from June. But four conservative justices dissented in that decision, and Justice Samuel Alito in particular said that the court would likely take on the case if Yeshiva lost its appeals in lower courts.
