RFK Jr. knows amazingly little about autism For someone who's been talking about it for so long, the HHS secretary got many basic facts wrong.

Debunked, half-true, and deeply ableist. RFK Jr. knows shockingly little about autism.

Pope Francis was an advocate for the homeless, the marginalized, the vulnerable. We need more of this in our world to push back against the cruel and spiteful who abuse their power to make our world poorer.

= The Harvard Crimson Updated March 28, 2025, at 6:02 p.m. Interim Harvard Dean of Social Science David M. Cutler '87 dismissed the faculty leaders of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies on Wednesday, according to a faculty member familiar with the situation - a dramatic shakeup at a center that has come under fire for its programming on Israel and Palestine. The CMES' director, professor of Turkish Studies Cemal Kafadar, and its associate director, History professor Rosie Bsheer, were both forced to leave their posts, according to the faculty member. Global Health professor Salmaan A. Keshavjee - the center's interim director while Kafadar was on leave - will continue to hold his post. The departures come after the CMES has repeatedly faced public criticism from Harvard affiliates who have alleged that some of the center's programming has been antisemitic and has failed to represent Israeli perspectives.

When Harvard, on its own accord, dismisses the faculty responsible for leading its Center for Middle Eastern Studies.

There is an impulse in moments like this to appeal to self-interest. To say: These horrors you are allowing to happen, they will come to your doorstep one day; to repeat the famous phrase about who they came for first and who they'll come for next. But this appeal cannot, in matter of fact, work. If the people well served by a system that condones such butchery ever truly believed the same butchery could one day be inflicted on them, they'd tear the system down tomorrow. And anyway, by the time such a thing happens, the rest of us will already be dead. No, there is no terrible thing coming for you in some distant future, but know that a terrible thing is happening to you now. You are being asked to kill off a part of you that would otherwise scream in opposition to injustice. You are being asked to dismantle the machinery of a functioning conscience. Who cares if diplomatic expediency prefers you shrug away the sight of dismembered children? Who cares if great distance from the bloodstained middle allows obliviousness. Forget pity, forget even the dead if you must, but at least fight against the theft of your soul.

One of many moments in Omar El Akkad’s new book, “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” that will stop you in your tracks.

America taking over Greenland is a foolish idea. America destroying its relationship with Canada is utter idiocy. America applying tariffs and engaging in trade wars with neighbors is economic nonsense. A lunatic is holding America hostage and his enablers are making fools of themselves.

“Washington has become the court of Nero: an incediary emperor, submissive courtiers & a buffoon on ketamine tasked with purging the civil service. This is a tragedy for the free world. But above all it is tragedy for the United States.” - Senator Claude Malu 🇫🇷

With NATO’s Secretary General sitting next to him, Trump said about annexing Greenland: “I think it will happen.”

There is no bottom for this very stupid man.
