As the fight for democracy goes inward and autocracies gloat, the number of those of us who still demand democracy promotion abroad continues to dwindle… To one. To the last neoconservative.

At least they’re American taxpayers instead of the Kremlin paying Benny Johnson. Send Benny and Tommy to Siberia.

Absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. Whatever you think of Zohran Mamdani’s politics, there is absolutely no place for this kind of hate and bigotry. Rep. Ogles loves to get attention by being inflammatory, but all you end up doing is exposing yourself as an asshole.

Phang: Immediately after being appointed… Habba said, quote: “We could turn New Jersey red, and I think New Jersey is absolutely close to getting there. So hopefully, while I’m there, I can help that cause.” Doesn’t sound like somebody who is trying to be, I don’t know, a fair arbiter of the law—

ICE is now changing tactics and arresting people who have been granted asylum hearings.   This is both a violation of US & international law that demands immediate attention from all New York elected officials & underscores the urgent need for legal service providers to be at all of these cases.

In fact, there will be lawsuits stopping this nonsense in every circuit, and it will work its way to the Supremes faster. There's less to this than meets the eye, folks.

this is just an observation but one way to think of the civil war is that it WAS about states rights, but the right in question was the right of free states to stay free

Espina: It doesn’t matter if you’re Cuban, Mexican, Venezuelan—it doesn’t matter if you’ve been here five years or thirty. When Trump talks about immigrants, he means all of us. That includes people who’ve been here a long time. That includes permanent residents

When you have a lot to hide and you want the American public to believe propaganda from the government instead of the truth, then a free press is your greatest enemy.

Haaretz is a left-wing paper, yes. However, it's still an Israeli paper. This can't be ignored. It must be addressed. Even the most expansive version of self-defense does *not* include wiping out an entire neighborhood because one of the people in it tried to kill you.

This more than just the standard Trump delaying tactic. It is also a desperate attempt to move the goalposts to stop Trump himself from raising his already bad tariffs to the ridiculously horrible levels of April 2.

I don’t give a shit that murderous Dictator Kim Jong Un is opening up North Korea’s shoreline for tourism, there’s no amount of money in the world that would make me want to visit his military prison state.

My answer to Is Trump a Racist has always been the same: the evidence points to no other conclusion. Same deal here.

Ukraine, Lévy argues, is Europe’s bulwark against an imperialistic Russia that would have likely swept over Georgia and Moldova, and would be threatening the Baltics and Eastern Europe, had it not been stopped by heroic Ukrainian resistance.

The answers you will actually get are: cultural enrichment, more things to learn, good people, etc. It should also include a diaspora to help us fight tyranny in their homelands, but no one left or right has understood that one since Harry Truman.

First, in New York the line you run on matters very much. A lot of people who didn't vote for Mamdani will vote for him because he's a Democrat. And Larry Silverstein and REBNY teaming up to back Adams or anyone else hands Mamdani a weapon that he can turn around and hold at their throats.

Two things can be true: -Universities can and should do more to counter groupthink and conformism, which can undermine their teaching and research missions -No one in higher education should make common cause with the authoritarian attack on academic freedom in the U.S.
