It is pretty noticeable that even as mainstream opinion on Israel and Gaza finally shifts, you don’t hear the Responsible Adults apologizing for punishing all the college kids protesting the atrocities. Quite the opposite in fact!

#FreeSpeechWarriors where ya at?

Hi, it’s Meg again. Brad is still in ICE custody.

We are grateful to the many friends, supporters, and allies who have gathered in Federal Plaza.

Together we are standing up for those with no voice.

to anyone who needs further proof that Zohran is the abundance candidate over Cuomo: Zohran wrote a bill giving the MTA streamlined permitting authority, which would speed up and reduce the costs of subway construction

The point is to create a world in which the authoritarians can simultaneously inhabit a position of victim and abuser, creating an imagined threat of persecution and violence in order to persecute and carry out violence.

This is how this always works. We cannot allow this to continue.

no one has defined the anti-abundance politics of blue state governance more than Andrew Cuomo and it is absurd he keeps skating on this

If you want more American flags at protests, you are welcome to go to the protests and fly one. No one will stop you. You yourself can create that picture of tolerance and pluralism.

But don't sit on the sidelines and tell a community under racist assault not to assert its right to exist.

Would love to hear the abundance crowd explain why Florida housing is so expensive given their building boom post COVID!

They All Signed the “Harper’s” Letter. Where Are They Now? Many of those who were loudest in denouncing cancel culture then are now curiously silent in the face of Donald Trump’s assaults on free speech.

For the June issue of @thenation.com, I wrote about the Harper’s letter 5 years later, and how under a quarter of its signatories have spoken out about Mahmoud Khalil and other campus activists imprisoned for speech.

“The pope will be from Chicago” sounds like an 1880s Republican’s dire prediction for if we don’t stop Irish immigration

Just got polled by Marist for the June #nycmayor primary

Clean up on aisle model 3!

If the notion the Gaza protests were broadly antisemitic was a fringe conservative media canard rather than an idea spread by the mainstream press, would they be trying all this legally? How much are columnists talking nonsense going to cost these colleges? How many students will suffer?

The thing about this guy is that he’s a total product of right-wing affirmative action and you literally would never have heard of him if he was a liberal.

The anti-trans movement is welfare for losers.

You have to understand that they hate you. Yes you, the educated liberal or leftist reading this on educated lib-left dot com. They took away AIDS medication from children for the specific purpose of making this video to trigger you. Triggering you is the goal and they will murder children to do it.

For years conservatives and some liberals complained incessantly about ‘cancel culture’ and the lack of ‘free speech’ on campuses. None of that stuff comes even close to what the right is now doing in power, in terms of the open bullying and pressuring of colleges and censoring of curricula.

In many places where Donald Trump is hugely popular, residents are increasingly reliant on state income transfers. The issue could fracture the Republican party. www.ft.com/content/45eb...

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

It’s always so clear who actually takes the subway. The New York City transit system is the new “what about Chicago.”
