"UN warns 14,000 babies could die in Gaza in next 48 hours without aid" When exactly are the international community going to do more than wring hands and make sad faces? Israel is violating international norms and rules of war. It is indiscriminately targeting civilians inc a million children

Did you know the “weekend” and working only 8 hours per day used to be considered a radical, liberal idea? 139 years ago today, in Bay View, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 7 workers (including a 13 yo) lost their lives to advance this revolutionary idea. A 🧵

If you're not familiar with Carl Schmitt & Leo Strauss--or, in the present, Vermeule & Vought--this is a good quick intro to the vision now fueling Trumpism--the movement, not the man. If you're telling yourself it's all just knucklehead stumbling, this is some bad news you should contend with.

Open letter by 700+ Jewish faculty in US on Trump's Columbia funding cuts, supposedly against antisemitism: "Not on our behalf. Harming US Universities does not protect Jewish people. Cutting funding for research does not protect Jewish people. Punishing researchers does not protect Jewish people."

This is a very important point. Breathlessly vague headlines and summaries of these executive orders created for the executive powers it does not have. This kind of press contributed to authoritarian regime change.

What do you call humans being kidnapped and sent to another country to be imprisoned in shackles and forced to perform intense physical labor while living in horrid conditions under the threat of daily physical violence and rape? Open a history book. You can do it. I believe in you.

This article clears up one important point: Paul Weiss' partners were in on this deal. I had thought (hoped) that this was an example of a misguided leader. Instead, Paul Weiss rank and file partners approved this course. They all bear the shame and responsibility. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Few things in the last decade have disgusted and angered me more than how Elon Musk was allowed to get away with personally reinstating a Twitter account that posted infamously horrific child sexual exploitation material. And then he PAID the account that posted it.

You know what stories I would like to read and hear about? People who have been pushed even more to the left/progressive/ Dem socialist side after the last several years-- and after everything happening with the Dem establishment now.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

Columbia called the cops on students— like trump wanted— & this is how Trump responds. One should never comply with evil, but if even your complicity with evil will not save you— & it will not— then why comply? Do not comply; not in advance, not at all. Fight for the right thing, no matter what.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.

This is a pretty big attack on the First Amendment. And an encroachment on universities' powers to decide what protests to allow and who to expel.....

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.
