Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

My advice is if your law firm can't say this, get yourself a new law firm. "Elias Law Group will not be deterred from fighting for democracy in court. There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf."

Real Genius was, and remains, a classic from my youth. I dont know how many times my brothers and I laughed at the exploits of Kilmer's Knight or how often we quoted his DocHolliday, but Val Kilmer was a cultural icon. #RIP

RIP Val Kilmer. Of all of his terrific roles in movies, my favorite will always be "Real Genius" with him playing the brilliant, but exploited science grad student Chris Knight who has no fucks left to give.

1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love. I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.”
