The Supreme Court just hung an "Open for Grievance" sign on every courthouse for white people who think "reverse discrimination" is a thing. Legally, it was the right decision. Culturally, wooboy, things are about to get (even more) insufferable. My latest in @thenation.com

Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years. What are we doing?

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis. Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.
