This is the lesson she learned from all of this!?!

When faculty ask first-year PhD students how their first year is going:

Some attorney had a lot of fun today.

Question for IR/International Law folks: If Israel is not a signatory to the Rome Treaty, then how can the ICC have jurisdiction over Netanyahu? Shouldn't the U.S. oppose ICC jurisdiction over ANY non-signatory nation's leader to avoid future ICC jurisdiction against US leaders?

I thought creating a DEI bureaucracy was supposed to fix these issues not participate in maintaining the status quo. I’m shocked!

(Disclaimer: I do not know if the quoted tweet is “real” but even if not, it doesn’t undermine the general sentiment.)

The personal irony in this for me is that I don’t like protests. I find them annoying regardless of my views of the cause of the protest. However, there is one simple trick to make me sympathize with pretty much any group of protestors.

If you are not more afraid of what the cops will do than the protestors, then you have very little understanding of history.

Lots of videos of cops in riot gear outside Columbia’s campus. No idea if they’re legit (so not reposting). But if so, I’m worried that will have a modern day Kent State tonight.

It’s not everyday that academic research makes me literally 😂

People who know me know that there is one issue that matters to me above all else. It is an exception to any other overarching philosophical ideals I hold about politics/policy.

I now have a new most hated U.S. elected official.

This is awful, but I think a lot of faculty are missing the reality that 'I'm a professor' doesn't elicit respect from extreme right wingers. In fact, it likely does the opposite.
