I don't think NYT should know peace until they divulge the full chain of decision making that led to the laundering of Nazi propaganda against a leading anti-fascist politician the same day fascism was codified in Congress.

It would be tempting to find the “antisemitism panic” re Mamdani laughably absurd, & yet I’m reminded of the “DEI” & “trans panics.” The fact that ppl w power are able to say absurd things in public shld be understood instrumentally: as anti-democratic calls for state violence

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

Reminder that seven Democratic senators voted to confirm Kristi Noem and six Dem senators declined to vote either way.

She was confirmed, 59-34.

The good faith experiment is clearly over, and we need the Democratic senators who didn't stand against her nomination to be loud as hell right now.

The derangement of right wing politics in America is incredible

Agreed!

Wait so you didn’t like The Cure before???

The same equation works for me with Radiohead and Green Day (who I found unbearable in the early 2000s especially). But here we are. Strange days.

Statement By NYU Spokesperson John Beckman

College leadership is pathetic. What cowards. They're going to withhold the diploma of the valedictorian because he used his speech to condemn genocide? Great. Make a hero out of him.

BTW - the kids gave him a standing ovation.

The fact that this “fight” against antisemitism is carried out by actual antisemites would be mind boggling if it weren’t also so predictable (historically).

Esp for non-Turkish friends who might be curious about the earthquake today and where things stand with earthquake preparedness in Istanbul (and Turkey at large)

Yes! Exactly how you do it.

His stance on abortion and recent statements on it were abominable but probably par for the course for a pope. Otherwise, feeling similarly - I’m surprised at how sad I was to hear of his passing.

If only…

Granted I’m having a day (or five), but this made me choke up.

America is solidly in our, “Scream ourselves to sleep, shit ourselves awake” era.

Has everyone in charge at Columbia simply lost their marbles? I really cannot wrap my mind around their dereliction of duty to their students. If my kid went there I would sure feel some kind of way.

Omg we live in the worst horror film.

Every single member of the Columbia administration should step down.

Through their complicity and their cowardice, they've betrayed their faculty, their staff and most of all their students.

There's no way they can lead that university in any meaningful sense from this point on.

What a champion of free speech…

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.
