@nytimes.com I think there might be something wrong with the Flashback quiz today. Does 1953 somehow not fall between 1929 and 1962?

Also are anonymous white supremacist hackers really appropriate news sources in 2025?

Still catching up on today’s feuding; is this summary video accurate?

Quick. Somebody tell Trump that the best way to own Elon is to restore all research grants and double NSF funding.

this is just like the parable of the scorpion and the scorpion

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

Relateable tbh

Headline: US Texts Barnard Employees and Asks if they Are Jewish Subhead: A questionnaire from a federal commission also inquired about whether professors and other college staff members had been harassed. Image of survey question: 1. Are you currently or have you ever been employed by Barnard College? YES/NO

I got this text and assumed it was phishing cuz who clicks links in unsolicited text messages? What’s next? The government texting all the Jews that our car warranty is expiring? No more waiting for “first as tragedy, then as farce.” Now it’s: simultaneously as tragedy and farce.

At this point, I’m offended not to have been included in any signal chats about war plans

Government: we make demands
Harvard: we refuse to meet those demands.
Govt: We take revenge for you refusing our demands
Harvard:
Govt: We didn’t mean those demands why did you think we were serious?

Huh I guess HUD = Highly Unconstitutional Directives

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Decades Ago, Columbia Refused to Pay Trump $400 Million A quarter century ago, the university was looking to expand. It considered, and rejected, property owned by Donald Trump. He did not forget it.

400 million, you say?

Stop pretending that the authoritarian repression is BECAUSE of the problems in {higher education, the media, the law, government, immigration policy, etc.}. This is what authoritarians do. If they didn't focus on these justifications, they'd come up with other ones.

Hey has anyone heard from #Onions the #NYU listserv dog? I feel like we need that energy these days

"Keshet and the Hebrew Free Loan Society are partnering to offer interest-free loans of up to $10,000 for individuals and families to support relocation costs to another state because of anti-LGBTQ+ laws, policies, and climate in their current state of residence."

Once again the most antisemitic presidency in generations, an administration with *actual Nazis* on staff, is determining which Jews are Jewish and which are degenerates (hint: the latter = the vast majority of American Jews)—with the added bonus of using "Palestinian" as a slur.

“As a Palestinian student, I believe that the liberation of the Palestinian people and the Jewish people are intertwined and go hand-by-hand and you cannot achieve one without the other,” he told CNN last spring when he was one of the negotiators representing student demonstrators during talks with Columbia University’s administration.

i keep reading statements from democrats saying they find mahmoud khaleil's views to be abhorrent and despicable before going on to say that he should nonetheless be given due process. but no one has been able to demonstrate what khaleil's views are beyond the admin's assertions. except for cnn:

Screenshot of X dot Com post: Andrew Cuomo @andrewcuomo All New Yorkers, including Jewish New Yorkers, deserve equal protection under the law. This is especially true in our schools, where every student should be able to learn free of discrimination, violence, and harassment. The antisemitic agitators at Columbia University & on campuses across the country have gone unchecked for too long. 4:07 PM · Mar 12, 2025 · 62.5K Views

Have to respect the effort. Most people who'd killed thousands of old people and covered it up—or diverted state funds to produce their multimillion-dollar book, or conspired to keep their own party out of power, or groped countless unwilling women—would be satisfied they'd already hit bottom.

DON’T RANK Cuomo but you must also RANK ALL FIVE MAYORAL SLOTS to ensure the predator is not elected.

I explain why in this video please watch and share. 1/2

Columbia University Gives Students Option To Finish Classes From Prison NEW YORK—Emphasizing that it was their only option amid the rampant protests that had erupted on campus, Columbia University announced Monday that it had given students the option to finish classes fr...

From The Archives: Columbia University Gives Students Option To Finish Classes From Prison

Trump’s Columbia attacks won’t stop antisemitism. So why are Jewish leaders applauding? Trump killed Columbia University's federal funding. Recent graduate Mahmoud Khalil was arrested. The signs for all minorities are dire.

Correct take

"I brought back free speech in America, it's back" - Trump during his joint address to Congress.

That's a lie.

Trump is not the free speech president - he's the president of censorship.

Seems like he wouldn’t be able to list 5 things he did for that job this week

Sounds like someone needs to send an email about 5 things he’s done for Tesla this week but ok
