Israeli escalation is so significant that at first when I saw the headline— “Israel strikes Hamas in Doha”— I thought it was a metaphorical, negotiating screed, not a literal air strike.
In the end, we’re going to have to make some choices about what R1 universities are: institutions of higher learning, pure inquiry, and broad-based research or money machines that blow in the wind with donors and the latest trends. Only one path is viable long term, in my opinion.
Black and white photograph showing an Aerial perspective of crowd boarding buses in front of Nishi Hongwanji Buddhist Temple, Los Angeles, California, 1942.
The parallels are stark: entire communities were forcibly removed from the West Coast in 1942 and today our immigrant brothers and sisters face the terror of ICE and CBP raids across the country. It was a miscarriage of justice then, and it is a miscarriage of justice now.
Photo of armed customs and border patrol agents and cars on the plaza in front of the Japanese American National Museum in Little Tokyo.
We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.
this is weird. this is weird, right?
The best part about watching Bari Weiss’ idiot progeny come on this platform is watching them get absolutely shellacked for printing hasbara.
FP is effectively the modern Def Stürmer, and for CBS to even consider buying this rag is a travesty
Which is ironically true: they were calorie-limited by Israeli’s blockade for years. www.emro.who.int/emhj-volume-...
Their poor health is an admission of guilt! What do you think starvation does to the body? This is like a victim of a death march succumbing to exposure, and blaming them for not wearing a coat.
I’m not saying that you never get to come back after you fuck up but bad actions need to have consequences and if you cause horrible pain and misery you shouldn’t get to just make some tweets and promise to gerrymander and have people suck you off for it en masse.
Please have some fucking standards
watching the US flicker and dissolve like a defeated JRPG boss creature
I think the EU should consider funding a Voice of Democracy program to broadcast pro-democracy content into the US...
Why are we talking about Rahm Emanuel as if he doesn't have a well-established executive record of fecklessness & unfitness? We do not have to settle for bandying about the idea of Rahm Emanuel, for we are already cursed with the fact of him.
There’s a brand of political thinker (call them “normie optimists”) that reflexively treats this all as ephemeral.
“Just wait for the midterms. Focus on the right messaging and win those swing districts.”
I just want to stare at them and say “Emil Bove has been confirmed to a lifetime judgeship.”
Breaking: Children Starving To Death In Gaza Were Actually Already Pretty Hungry Before This Started. Exclusive To The New York Times
I've had people tell me that we with a straight face that we can't say Anne Frank was murdered, because she probably died of typhus, not in the gas chambers.
I don’t understand why a brand would self-own like this. It’s giving Assistant to the Regional Manager.
Jesus Christ we’re not rehabilitating the Kims, we’re not doing Monarchy is Good But From the Left Now
Among many other things this is a proliferation nightmare. The lesson learned will be never negotiate with the United States.
Reading a book on art symbolism published in the 50’s; it opens with this review by a 12 yr old (authors wanted the subject accessible to kids). It stuck out bc how many kids that age under this current education system/AI rot can write and analyze like this? I’ve see flat out illiteracy recently.
Tulsi Gabbard selling a shirt that says No War With Iran
Wondering if this shirt is still available
Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.
I feel like having the Pope and the AntiChrist be American at the same time is a little bit much.
This is actually rather comforting
House was a wild show looking back. It was like:
HOUSE: I will shoot the patient in the head.
THE VILLAIN: I do not think we should let a belligerent drug addict with a firearm execute the patient.
*BLAM*
PATIENT: I’m cured!
CUDDY: Dammit, House, you’re a loose cannon but you get results!
