You could pitch that sentence to several important newspapers and get it printed

Das Völkerrecht hasst man aus denselben Gründen, aus denen man das Asylrecht hasst: weil beide für die Schwächeren da sind, und für die hat das Land der Dichter und Denker mittlerweile nur noch Ekel übrig. Hätten sie mal nicht so schwach sein, oder ihre Schulen in unseren Bombenhagel bauen sollen.

Er hat natürlich Recht, die einzig logische Lehre aus der deutschen Geschichte ist das Zerhäckseln des Völkerrechts.

(For people not familiar with the iconography: that would be one (1) SA man between two rows of policemen looking the other way.)

A cartoon from "Vorwärts": "The SA Man Ruled the Street" showing a single SA man walking down the street while two rows of police are lined up on either side of him with their backs turned.

"The SA Man ruled the street" -- cartoon from Vorwärts, January 24, 1933

Oh look it's the "fetch" of Democratic politicians

Oh, I'm sorry, was my pointing that out "revenge" @nypost.com? Or just "cancel culture"? I'm having trouble keeping up

Thank you for making it explicit: if you assert that you have rights as a member of a minority group, the @nypost.com understands this as you taking "revenge"

"actually, there was no school, it was a school they bombed themselves, there was a military base beneath a school - all these things are 100% true at once, but also one thing's for sure, they were Iranians, and so isn't it rather suspicious that you care about whether or not they live or die?"

This statement is appallingly bad--like, the administration *illegally bombed a school.* It's mind-boggling to me for this to be the reaction from a human, much less a purported leader of the Democratic Party. I need a new senator stat

Board of War is Peace

X as a website encourages people to do bigotry for likes and affirmation and this is the people who identify as left wing on there have decided it is morally acceptable to indulge in bsky.app/profile/bfis...

im starting to think the woke mind virus wasnt actually the biggest threat to civilization

“Students demanded the firing of a teacher for being a well-known sex pest (he wasn’t fired). The government is forcing universities to end certain departments, stack faculties with professors the government likes, and is abducting students for writing op eds. Who is to say which is worse?”

“Mean lefties on social media and government censorship boards are the same I run the American Council on Education.”

“In his speech, he also criticized the closure of Columbia’s gates, an action that has restricted public access to campus for over two years.

'It is easier for ICE to walk into a dorm than it is for me, a Morningside Heights resident, to walk across campus,’ Northrup said.”

I think this is ultimately the tree to bark up on the present authoritarian capture of US media. the tilt within legacy media is pretty unmistakeable (news deserts + right wing oligopoly of major outlets) but it's hard to see how the strategy holds up without the right wing state in the background

It Can Now Be Plainly Said: Trump Is Planning a November Coup d’État During the campaign, it was kind of hard to picture the specifics of how Trump might pull such a thing off. Alas, it’s getting less hypothetical by the week.

This is unfortunately quite persuasive, above all the point that, yes, SCOTUS may strike down whatever election powers Tr*mp arrogates to himself -- but in the case of tariffs, that took almost a year, and I'm sure the merry band of plotters around Tr*mp have noticed newrepublic.com/post/207138/...

Columbia President with NEW details:

5 DHS agents entered a residency with no warrant.

They said they were police looking for a missing kid.
Security camera even captures them showing pictures of the "kid."

A campus officer asked for a warrant & their boss.

They ignored him & took the student.

But this is why Ellison is doing what he's doing too. They built a Potemkin village and now they all want to live in it because they've convinced themselves more than anyone else that it's Disneyland

"What one finds in the partisan braying of Tuesday night is the same sentiment articulated when Jonathan Ross called Renee Good a 'fucking bitch' after putting a bullet in her head."

Good @aselrod.bsky.social piece drawing through line from ICE brownshirts to Trump's GOP collaborators in Congress:

👇🎯💯 The unprecedented corruption is the point

It's coming out in English in the early fall!

Nur 18 Euro, um mir massive FOMO zu verpassen? A steal at twice the price!

Adrian Daub, Was das Valley herrschen nennt Jetzt überall, wo es das lustige Taschenbuch gibt

Laut Verlag sind die ersten Exemplare von WAS DAS VALLEY HERRSCHEN NENNT in der Post nach San Francisco -- was derzeit leider bedeutet, dass ich das Paket in ugf 1 Monat bekomme. Wenn Ihr jetzt vorbestellt, habt Ihr das Ding wahrscheinlich vor dem Autor in der Hand! www.thalia.de/shop/home/ar...

… No he hasn’t?

I live in Minnesota and I want the federal government to stop trying to kill us. And hurt us. I want them to stop attacking us.

It sucks.

We’re just trying to live our lives and take care of each other and we don’t deserve all this.

I kid around sometimes here but I’m not kidding now.

Thinking about @adriandaub.bsky.social ’s “What Tech Calls Thinking” and about how Brown has a famously flexible curriculum but I guess most students don’t learn about what horses do until maybe your junior or senior year

Oh, just so you're not disappointed: I had to leave much of the music stuff on the cutting room floor to get this three hour beast into a 90 minute episode! 😳

Letter | No, Mellon Is Not Part of Some Woke Conspiracy Tyler Austin Harper mischaracterizes good grantmaking, writes Michael S. Roth.

THE PRESIDENT OF WESLEYAN ATE TYLER AUSTIN HARPER UP LOL

“Harper follows in the grand tradition of Senator Jesse Helms in mocking areas of research he expects will be unpopular with the general public.”
