I spent decades at Columbia. I’m withdrawing my fall course due to its deal with Trump | Rashid Khalidi The university’s draconian policies and new definition of antisemitism make much teaching impossible

These decisions, taken in close collaboration with the Trump administration, have made it impossible for me to teach modern Middle East history, the field of my scholarship and teaching for more than 50 years

Everything about this story is horrific:

1. The student never mentions Jews
2. The university is going to expel a student for criticizing a country over genocide
3. A Republican congressman is taking credit and implying the student is a Muslim terrorist
4. The U.S. Justice Department is involved

So there's an angry white man who murdered hikers in AR.
Another who murdered his family in TN.
Another who's a suspect in a shooting in MT. 1/

But our government has decided that every non-white immigrant or person is a criminal.

From the mountains of Western Maryland to Baltimore to the Eastern Shore, Maryland relies on public broadcasting.

Let’s call it for what it is: Republicans didn’t like the truth being reported, so they silenced those who speak it.

Trump’s EPA is gutting the rules that keep our air clean, energy affordable, and businesses competitive. China’s investing in the future—Trump’s handing it to them. Higher gas prices, more pollution, and a weaker America. You’ll pay the price.

Texas Pushes Redistricting Into an Era of ‘Maximum Warfare’

Marc Elias, one of the Democratic Party’s most prominent lawyers, welcomed any converts to his brand of brass-knuckle politics.
