The 20-year-old detailed his experience on the popular Reddit forum 'Am I the A------,' a place where Reddit users can go to seek input about interpersonal dilemmas.
In his post, the Redditor explained that one of his 'friends,' whom he clarifies is 'more or less [an] acquaintance,' kissed someone who was not her boyfriend during a recent night out. The man also explained that while he wasn't there to see the kiss for himself, he learned about it through a group chat.

The OP said that while he understands where his friends are coming from, he believes that 'if someone's cheating, people should be saying stuff as soon as possible.'
'Am I the a------?' he asked his fellow Redditors.
The vast majority of the man's fellow Reddit users said that they think he made the right call and that he's not the bad guy in this scenario.

'No, you're not the a------,' said one person. "She cheated on him, and you told him she did. It's her fault for cheating.'
'Always oust cheaters,' said someone else, adding, 'And anyone who thinks it's wrong to do so has questionable morals.'
'NTA [not the a------]. TBH [to be honest] I'd reconsider the friendship with those people who saw and didn't say anything to the boyfriend,' added someone else.
After reading the various comments, the OP said that while his friends made some 'valid' points about his actions 'affecting certain situational things' he has still not apologized — nor does he plan to."
'[I am] am sticking by my actions,' he said.

Massachusetts Governor demands answers after ICE arrests Milford High School student
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey took to social media Sunday evening to demand answers after ICE agents arrested a high school student heading to volleyball practice over the weekend. The student, 18-year-old Marcelo Gomes, is a junior at Milford High School in Milford, Massachusetts. In her post, Healey says she is "disturbed and outraged" and that she wants answers immediately explaining why the student was taken into immigration enforcement's custody. "I'm demanding that ICE provide immediate information about why he was arrested, where he is and how his due process is being protected," she s. In the post she blames the Trump admin for what she describes as an attempt to create fear. "The Trump Administration continues to create fear in our communities, and it's making us all less safe," her post states. In her statement, Healey claims that the student was detained on Saturday without any warning or subsequent explanation provided to state officials. "Yet again, local officials and law enforcement have been left in the dark with no heads up and no answers to their questions," she said. The community gathered to protest outside of Milford on Sunday. Hundreds demanded Gomes be set free and that ICE stop harassing members of their community. U.S. Rep. Jake Auchincloss, a Democrat who represents Milford in Congress, attended the protest and made note on X that Gomes was "enrolled in honors classes, a coaching assistant for girls volleyball [and] player for boys volleyball, and a member of the school band." "This administration has its public safety priorities backwards. It pardons cop-beaters from Jan. 6 but detains high-school volleyball players. It makes gun-purchaser background checks harder while pushing for tax breaks to buy silencers for pistols. This reckless behavior does not make the residents of Milford safer, and I stand with the community in support of law [and] order," he wrote. Milford School District Superintendent Kevin McIntyre says that Gomes' detention is one of many apprehensions to take place in the southern Massachusetts community. McIntyre says the district cannot take any role in immigration enforcement, but they will "support all of our students and families, including those who are immigrants to the United States." "They are members of the community, students in our classrooms, athletes that compete representing Milford, musicians, artists, friends, and neighbors. We will do everything in our power to support our students and families during these difficult times," he said in his statement. Sunday morning was Milford High School's graduation and Healey says a day of celebration has now been tarnished. "My heart goes out to the Milford community on what was supposed to be a celebratory graduation day," she said.

ADL leader condemns ‘rage-filled, violent attacks' at peaceful Jewish events
Anti-Defamation League (ADL) CEO Jonathan Greenblatt condemned the recent 'rage-filled, violent attacks' at Jewish gatherings and called on public officials to do more before 'the crisis escalates even further.' In a post Sunday on X, Greenblatt connected the Sunday attack in Boulder, Colo.— which targeted a group of peaceful participants in a weekly walk to call for the return of hostages in Gaza — to the killing of a young couple outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., last month. In both scenarios, the suspected perpetrators were heard to shout 'free Palestine' during or after the attack. 'This is the second violent attack on the US Jewish community in two weeks,' Greenblatt wrote in a post on X. 'First, a young couple slaughtered in DC. And now, a firebomb thrown at a group in Boulder, Colorado, as they gathered to express solidarity with the 58 hostages still being held in Gaza by Hamas terrorists.' 'Two peaceful Jewish events that ended with rage-filled, violent attacks,' he added. Greenblatt also pointed to recent examples of vandalism and violence against Jewish people in places around the world. 'We're witnessing a global campaign of intimidation and terror deliberately directed against the Jewish people,' Greenblatt said, adding, 'Sadly, none of this is surprising. In fact, it's entirely predictable. This is precisely where anti-Jewish incitement leads. This is exactly what vicious anti-Zionism enables.' His statement comes hours after six people were injured in the Colorado attack, which the FBI and local law enforcement are investigating as an act of terrorism. A suspect in custody used a 'makeshift flamethrower' and incendiary devices to attack the individuals and 'was heard to yell 'free Palestine,' during the attack,' according to FBI special agent in charge Mark Michalek. The victims, attending a regular weekly event, ranged in age from 67 to 88 and all are hospitalized, with two people having been airlifted to a burn unit. Greenblatt called on 'elected officials, community groups, media platforms, faith leaders' to 'commit to taking action before this crisis escalates even further.' 'Stop excusing antisemitic rhetoric. Stop platforming anti-Zionist hate. Stop equivocating when Jews are attacked. Stand with your Jewish friends and neighbors… …before things get even worse,' Greenblatt added in his statement.
