Opinion | Israel Must Open Its Eyes

"So, yes, I consider myself a friend of Israel. But now its friends need to stage an intervention. The Israeli government has gone too far. It has engineered a staggering humanitarian crisis, and that crisis is both a moral atrocity and a long-term threat to Israel itself."

Have fun with the family while supporting BP!

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.
 
If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

Knight Institute Calls on Government Personnel—Civilian and Military—to Protect First Amendment Rights of Protesters and the Press

Peaceful political protest is a feature of democracy, not a threat to it. knightcolumbia.org/content/knig...

We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.

Whataboutism Is Rotting Our Brains, Our Consciences, and Our Politics It’s easy, reassuring, and wrong.

"Because people who constantly transgress can’t function with the knowledge that they are immoral, they must believe—and teach—that everyone is just as corrupt as they are." That's what it's all about. New from @monacharen.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/whatabouti...

This administration is deeply unserious but also deeply dangerous.

I don’t care what Ozturk wrote. It doesn’t matter. This is America. We’re fucking free to have opinions of all sorts. It doesn’t matter. You don’t get to lock up people for bad thought. That’s against the fucking law and morals and fuck every last person arguing that this is a crime. Fuck all of em

I’m concerned for the safety of Rumeysa Ozturk because of the character and personality of the people who support Donald Trump.

Most countries’ patriotic pride is in a shared culture, history, language, and/or religion. That’s not really what binds Americans. Americans are bound together by a shared belief in our system of government: freedoms, checks and balances, due process, rule of law. We lose that and we lose ourselves

It’s really wild how there is no reason to deport anyone, let alone children and US citizens and LPRs and students and people undergoing cancer treatment etc. it’s all a fake solution to a made up problem enacted by violent racists who are stealing from you

The United States of America is child trafficking.

What DEI threatens isn’t merit. It’s monopoly. Political science professor Hakeem Jefferson argues for DEI's importance to de-monopolizing universities.

A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond.

I hope you’ll read and share the piece.

How could any sentient American, no matter where they lived, have been surprised about any of this in 2024?

Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump Everyone knows that Harvard has "lost its way." They hired, from New York (Bill D) and Chicago (Lori L), at ridiculously high salaries/fees, two of the WORST and MOST INCOMPETENT mayors in the history of our Country, to "teach" municipal management and government. These two Radical Left fools left behind two cities that will take years to recover from their incompetence and evil. Harvard has been hiring almost all woke, Radical Left, idiots and "birdbrains" who are only capable of teaching FAILURE to students and so-called "future leaders." Look just to the recent past at their plagiarizing President, who so greatly embarrassed Harvard before the United States States Congress. When it got so bad that they just couldn't take it anymore, they moved this grossly inept woman into another position, teaching, rather than firing her ON THE SPOT. Since then much else has been found out about her, but she remains in place. Many others, like these Leftist dopes, are teaching at Harvard, and because of that, Harvard can no longer be considered even a decent place of learning, and should not be considered on any list of the World's Great Universities or Colleges. Harvard is a JOKE, teaches Hate and Stupidity, and should no longer receive Federal Funds. Thank you for your attention to this matter! 6.96k ReTruths 29.3k Likes Apr 16, 2025 at 7:05 AM

Trump’s sputtering response to Harvard standing up to him is yet another reason why institutions should refuse to bend the knee. He’s a paper tiger, unable to argue his own case.

If you feel like being inspired by a big law firm, here's the opening to Sussman Godfrey's lawsuit against Trump and his executive order targeting the firm. It still is amazing other firms caved quickly to Trump's mob-like and unconstitutional shakedown.

Republicans Are Obsessed with a Censorship Lie They’re even eager to namedrop Goebbels—but they blithely ignore the urgent First Amendment threats posed by Trump.

"These hearings have no real analytical or fact-finding purpose, but House Republicans have created an entire fictional universe around them." @ninajankowicz.com on the Republicans' censorship lie: www.thebulwark.com/p/republican...

/3 Not every AUSA in every case is doing evil. But I think you need to realize that if you are representing the United States defending this administration’s actions, you are breaking your oath to the constitution and doing evil. Nothing is worth doing that.

Upon learning that your own mistake sent an innocent father to a brutal prison where he’s likely to be tortured, anyone with a shred of decency would be overcome with shame and fight like hell to get him back.

They think it’s funny.

I am proud of my firm, Davis Wright Tremaine, and to stand with Perkins Coie and the rule of law.

Huge credit to these 100s of firms, incl many of the finest-Munger, Tolles; Davis, Wright; Patterson, Belknap; Crowell & Moring & many more. More than enuf for any law student to make a career. Just the wealthiest firms, per partner profits in the millions, who seem least zealous in law's defense.

Quick glance and I see Seattle firms Pacifica Law Group, Hagens Berman and Davis Wright Tremaine among the signers.

Launching the Economic Version of the Iraq War. Tariffs are like military actions. They're ‘good’ or ‘bad’ based on specifics: Why, how, at what cost, toward what end. Donald Trump has just committed US power in a profoundly stupid way.

Trump has just launched the economic equivalent of the Iraq War.
