LINDSEY GRAHAM: Our goal is to make sure Iran cannot become again the largest state sponsor of terrorism.

WELKER: Does the the president have a plan to guarantee that happens?

GRAHAM: No. It's not his job.

I’m now officially a fan of Bad Bunny.

This gotta be the best stage set in Super Bowl halftime show history.

Bill Belichick is so great that I use him in my intro class as an example to illustrate what the concept of "modernism" entails. I don't like him and he was the reason why I'm not a Pats fan, but still... His exclusion does not challenge his legacy. It challenges the legitimacy of the HOF.

Well, this was said by your saint himself.

Media's norm of being "balanced" is always a myth. NYT used to report about lynching African Americans by saying that "on one hand" lynching is evil but "on the other hand" "Negroes are prone" to rape. When Ida Wells argued against that, NYT said she was a "slanderous and nasty-minded mulattress."

The mental health talks are sickening. At times like this, the best thing the university leaders can say is that everyone take care of themselves. Not even a call for unity or condemnation of the murder. Self-care mentality is what makes this society awful.

There are people who believe that atrocities will simply end after the next election. But if the "opposition" party continue to act cowardly like this, at next election there will be ICE agents patrolling the polling stations and preventing colored people from voting, if there is an election at all.

The shamelessness of this administration and the cowardice of the "opposition" party is just incredible.

This is courage. Looking a masked, government fascist dead in the eye, face to face, knowing full well that your life is on the line.

If elected officials had 1/10th of Alex Pretti's resolve, we would have far fewer troubles.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Actually, that's one concern I've always had about gun control. Any control measures will inevitably start from some sort of racial profiling as "background check," after which colored people will be banned from carrying weapons while Kyle Rittenhouse will continue to walk around with guns.

Man I want that Klint Kubiak to be the new Ravens head coach.

One basic pattern here is that DHS officials are engaging in violence simply because they are irritated at citizens protesting them. There is no plausible threat of violence here. He just wants to inflict pain, and believes there will be no penalty for doing so.

I’ve always disliked Jin Keyu, but these acts by Summers are just disgusting.

Thank you Tim. If you know of any ceremonies to commemorate Joe, please let me know. I'd love to pay tribute to him in person.

My dearest mentor, Professor Joseph Fewsmith, unfortunately passed away this week. I wrote this little tribute with great pain. But no writing is enough to express my love and gratitude for Joe.

ICE shooting a food bank worker in the back is a little on the nose for the current moment

The Democrat Party is a status quo party. That's their reality and that's their vision. We have a conservative party in the Democrats and a fascist party in the Republicans. That's American politics.

Will this Noah Smith protect the rights to criticize Charlie Kirk? If not don’t pretend to be a fan of free speech.

Salesforce Tries to Help ICE Boost Its Immigration Force

That’s… unsurprising.

Universities Must Reject Trump Admin 'Loyalty Oath' Compacts The AAUP and AFT warn that the Trump administration’s offer to give preferential treatment to colleges and universities that court government favor in exchange for allegiance to a partisan ideological...

The Trump admin’s offer to give preferential treatment to institutions that toe the party line reeks of bribery in exchange for allegiance to a partisan ideological agenda.

This is corruption.

Adherence to ‘loyalty oaths’ would usher in a new era of thought policing in American higher education.

I don't expect any fight back from the generals, even if they are ordered to kill their own citizens. Killing citizens may be against the military norm, but disobeying superior order is even more so. Also, civilian government's control over military, right?

And if NYT or WP or whatever uses any euphemism for this, they are guilty of supporting it too.

Charlie Kirk's killing was the Reichstag fire and this is a call for Kristallnacht. This is an open and explicit call for the killing of dissidents and for establishing a military dictatorship. And there is no sign the military will disobey.

Charlie Kirk's killing was the Reichstag fire and this is a call for Kristallnacht. I know historical analogies are always inaccurate but still.

I only have H1b status but not H1b visa stamp. If I go abroad I'll need a new visa stamp which may cost 100k. And I have to go back to home country to stamp my visa, for which I don't have the time. Other visas are not subject to the 100k fee, but also have to be done in home country.

Got my AAS panel accepted. I have a great panel on women and politics in China with scholars I like and admire. I've been hoping to have a book signed by my discussant. But I do not expect that I'll be able to travel to Vancouver next March due to the H1B visa policies of the American government.

The Ravens are like last season's Bengals. Bad defense and terrible O-line.
