The purpose of academic freedom is not to allow faculty to live cushy lives free from criticism or constraint. Its purpose is to allow them to investigate widely and report (or criticize) the results openly, instead of allowing politicians to decide what is true and what is not.

PMO: Benjamin Netanyahu decides full IDF occupation of Gaza | The Jerusalem Post The Prime Minister's Office conveyed the message to the Chief of Staff: If this does not suit you, then you should resign.

Think about every pro-Israel person who denied this was the plan for the past 22 months; who gaslit you; denied this to you; pretended this wasn't the plan.

And then never believe those liars about anything ever again.

Trump likes tariffs in part because he craves being the center of attention. They go up, they go down, they get paused; no matter what happens the media goes into a tizzy and every starts talking about him again. Itโ€™s not trade policy; itโ€™s ego gratification.

Just look at how some strong MAGA voices who opposed war with Iran, but still congratulated Trump after he stated that he is only striking Iran once and itโ€™s over, now is time for peace. Theyโ€™ll support Trump even if they not in favour of war with Iran. Perhaps, itโ€™s why Trump only did 1 strike? ๐Ÿค”

I think a key element that might be omitted from this numerical data is "Trump himself". If the question was asked if they support US war with Iran & not Trumpโ€™s strike on Irans's nuclear facilities, the results might be different. MAGA will support Trump regardless if they disapprove of the policy.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.ย 
ย 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
ย 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
