Bill McKay it’s honestly probably be a podcast.

“Profiles In Courage, a Spotify exclusive. Every week, I—Senator Kennedy—will sit down with a new guest who demonstrates courage in our crazy, modern age.

“My first guest—Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.”

I love New York Magazine because it's basically a tabloid for media intelligensia.

The Civil Rights protestors were trying to change the law that disallowed them from sitting there. And they did it with the express purpose of being arrested. No one is advocating the right to barricade yourself in a college (and for the college to send you free food.)

my plan to protect the dnc in Chicago is to schedule a republican to come speak. then, based on all available evidence, the far-left won't protest.

Honestly, I feel like this is pretty indisputable even if you are the most pro-IDF person on the planet because Brown got rid of its protesters by agreeing to hold meetings. Meetings have killed more left-wing agendas than all the cops on Earth combined.

Mearsheimer's latest concoction of half-truths and lies to claim the Soviet Army fought more humanely in WWII than the Allies demonstrates again his commitment to knee-jerk, dumb anti-Americanism. How disappointing that he's well-known, widely-cited, and often platformed.

the really important thing here for both of them is to let you know they went to Harvard. at last common ground between left and right.

There have been probably ten times as many 'I am a Black Republican' media profiles compared to 'I am an evangelical Dem' even though there are more of the latter both proportionally and in total

Friends, please, please amplify. The NYPD are now raiding City College. Reports are hundreds of cops. Please, I know that what happened at Columbia tonight is sickening--but this is Part II. And our @cuny students are largely working class students of color.

I see people on here comparing what happened at Columbia to Kent State. It’s even worse. True, nobody was injured at Columbia but arresting someone from an Ivy is at least twice as bad as shooting a state school student when you consider the relative prestige

The overreaction is the story. When I was a grad student at UMass in the 1990s, there were protracted student takeovers of administration buildings. It was no big deal. No national coverage. No freaking out. No cries of “mayhem“. And nobody blocked food and water for students.

Yikes, Jack Dorsey RT'ing Jimmy Dore's (who himself is RTing a holocaust-denying anti-semite), anti-Ukraine and anti-vaxx rantings. Real bad guy, jack.

By contrast, look at what’s happened - or more precisely what *hasn’t* happened - at Brown and Wesleyan. It’s not because the students are less committed or the admins more timid. It’s because there still survives there, against all odds, some sense of mutual respect.

…and desperate behavior by administrators without principle, lurching from one position to another depending on which Congressional committee or wealthy donor is mad at them the most;

- a university that has given up on shared governance, electing for chaos instead.
