Head of ADL comes out against Trump admin's approach to deportations. "We can hold perpetrators of unlawful antisemitism accountable while maintaining a commitment to the Constitution." "We should be holding people accountable for actual crimes, not Orwellian thoughtcrimes."

A couple of points: 1) Many of these Ivies don’t have clean hands. They censored too much and became too permissive of unlawful behavior. 2) HOWEVER, the solution cannot be worse than the disease. And this response is worse than the disease. How? 3) The feds are essentially

BREAKING: A federal court just blocked the White House from denying the The Associated Press access to presidential press events based on its editorial choices. The decision reaffirms that “under the First Amendment, if the Government opens its doors to some journalists—be it to the Oval Office,

I almost feel sorry for people who are watching tonight’s #NJDevils game and not following my man Robert Aitken Jr. who is on top of every development for Record Sports. Follow him!

Harvard University To be clear, Harvard is no paragon of free speech and academic freedom. But it goes without saying, we do no restore free speech and academic freedom on campus through government mandates that would eradicate both values entirely.

“So no, Easter is not pagan. … Its roots are profoundly Jewish and its meaning its entirely Christian. Not sex and spring, but death defeated and life renewed.” ⁦David Josef Volodzko⁩ theradicalist.com/p/no-easter-is…

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis yesterday vetoed SB 25-086, the so-called “Protections for Users of Social Media” bill — part of the latest wave of speech-repressive legislation motivated by moral panic over social media. The unconstitutional legislation would have forced social media

Bill Maher's right: We can’t keep hurling insults from the safety of our culture war camps. But attempting ideological bridge-building by having dinner with Trump is like trying to commune with nature by entering a lion’s den. My latest Persuasion: persuasion.community/p/bill-mahers-…

President Trump's repeated targeting of Harvard University's tax-exempt status is blatantly illegal under federal law. The IRS cannot be weaponized to target political and ideological opponents — not under Nixon, not under Obama, and not under Trump.

"When a state starts dictating which words are acceptable in public discourse and private discussion, it jumps headlong into the culture wars, telling everyone to fall in line or face the consequences." David Josef Volodzko via FIRE thefire.org/news/colorado-…

Former FBI Director James Comey’s now-deleted “86 47” social media post is political speech protected by the First Amendment. It neither constitutes a true threat nor merits federal investigation. There is SCOTUS precedent to prove it.

Seems fair to refer to this as the worst #Mets swoon since September '22. And it can always get worse ...

In 2020, Mayor Muriel Bowser called on the Redskins to change their name if they wanted to relocate to DC. Yesterday, President Trump threatened to block the team's new DC stadium if they didn't rebrand back to the Redskins. Different jerseys, same playbook. Both fouls.

You never pay an extortionist just once. Skydance has committed to the FCC that it will appoint a mediator to review “incidents of bias” following CBS’s $16 million settlement with the Trump administration. Let’s be clear: The whole purpose of the ombudsman is to take the

Where Harvard leads, others follow. With reports of a possible deal between the university and the Trump administration, Harvard must hold the line on institutional autonomy, academic freedom, and free expression. Period. If Harvard folds under pressure, the precedent set will
