Once took a woman on a second date to see Funny Games. About halfway through she put in her earbuds and quit watching the movie, we had an incredibly awkward silent drive back to her place where I meekly apologized for not knowing what exactly that movie was. There was no third date.

This is an extremely silly argument as you cannot fix any problems or move forward at all unless you realize "capitalism is bad" is at the root of all social problem you want to fix or move forward from

an important thing to remember as The Cool Zone looms: the most egregious recent violent and militarized crackdown -- at places like UCLA and Columbia -- was done under democrats with the full support of democrats. they aint gonna help

Always important to remember that killer cops are nearly always people who have committed multiple abuses previously and would have already been drummed out of any occupation with even minimal standards

gonna just be the millionth person to say: we in the US should indeed be mad that our electoral choices have been narrowed down to "genocide abroad is fine" vs "don't settle for genocide abroad when we could also have internment camps here". but neither Palestinians nor their supporters put you here

Quite the opposite, I'd say this is yet another win for vulgar Marxism. While all the nuance fetishists have been insisting capital would never cut its own legs off just for such a short-sighted gain, us vulgarians have long noted they would do this if they could

People like Stancil like to comfort themselves with the idea that prisoners in the US are all bad people who deserve it while everyone in prison in China is an innocent. But what he’s written here is a literal description of our mass incarceration

As Palestinian activists are extradited to black sites, it's good to know our city controller is focused on the real victims: Israeli businesses. Rachael Heisler is an embarrassment. www.wesa.fm/politics-gov...

I know symbolic gestures do very little, but sitting here in this coffee shop two Jordanian guys came over and thanked me profusely for wearing a keffiyah. Anyway, we will see a free Palestine in our lifetimes 🇵🇸

Absolutely begging liberals to understand how political change happens. Literally no political progress in this nation has ever happened without violence. It's fine to dislike violence (I'm not a huge fan myself), but this kind of hand wringing is just apolitical, ahistorical nonsense

Every so often I remember that Oprah brought us Dr Phil, Dr Oz and The Secret but the only person she brought back to destroy on her show was the guy who pretended to be a worse drug addict than he actually was in a book

It's good to use language people know/understand, but it's also good to push people to learn knew things and expand the words they know/understand. Many of today's "common sense phrasings" were once the wildly leftist out-of-touch buzzwords condemned by exactly this sort of person.

The geniuses at the Democratic Party settling on “maybe we were too woke” rather than “a cabal of billionaire pedophile Nazis are stealing your money and taking a sledgehammer to your future” is astonishing. Just one of those things

It's weird the power people think academics have. We can't just give out student/work visas! We don't have any say in the process! Those decisions are made by admins who make 7x our salary and deeply hate each of us.

So hard to figure out why so many see Dems as having no morals or spine at all. Spend 8 years calling a guy a fascist dictator only to immediately pivot to “we need to work together with him!”

It is simply not enough for universities to say, “Our grants & research offices are looking into how research will be affected by the latest directive.” University leaders must actively and very publicly make the case for the kind of work many of us do. The silence on this front is deafening.

Bryan MacCormack, the executive director of a New York-based immigrant rights group, was pulled over by CBP with two undocumented passengers in the vehicle. He knew his rights, refused to acknowledge their "warrant", and despite CBP threatening him, the agents eventually were forced to let him go.

I remain convinced that if you resort to convenient bigotry to win votes, the people whose votes you gained will eventually vote for a more sincere bigot, while the people you abandoned will never trust you again.
