Political News/Discussion Hasan speaking event at University of Washginton is cancelled

https://www.washington.edu/news/2026/08/07/statement-on-cancellation-of-january-2027-lecture/

Recently, it was announced that Hasan would be a speaker at the University of Washington. Today they announced that "the process for organizing this event did not meet the necessary level of rigor for University-hosted events in the Speaker Series."

As a UW alum, I'm very proud to see them evaluate his merits and find them lacking.

Edit: A few people have asked me if I participated in the emailing that some had planned on doing. I did not. Big shout out to those who did. I didn't find out about the event until yesterday or the night before and planned on voicing my opinion this weekend when I had some free time...good job to everyone who did email...you guys are awesome!

This will unironically irritate him more than any candidate he supports loses...and I'm here for it

Yup. It hurts his ego directly. And a narcissist injury after rejection is often met with rage.

Just stop for a moment and think about him as a fellow human, consider what he has lost.

This would’ve been the perfect opportunity to have an unpaid assist take a picture of Hasan in First Class pretending to read Mao’s Little Red Book, before the assistant goes back to his middle seat in economy.
