I don’t know how we are ever going to be able to repent for this as a nation — but we owe it to ourselves to think creatively now about what re-engaging the world in a way they will believe actually looks like

No, it's actually a catastrophically stupid idea, and the WaPo editorial board should be ashamed (it won't be, I know) for writing something so idiotic.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

I am in this post and I do not like it

Yet another thing that will completely destroy the actual existing model of 🇺🇸 higher education. The lack of loud, urgent collective action by university leaders to educate the public & generate pushback on all of these awful policies continues to be glaring.

US military conducts third [illegal] fatal strike on alleged drug smuggling vessel

If enacted, this will punch a hole in faculty, post-doc, and staff hirings at universities (maybe that's the intent)

These peoples brains are cooked and they need to be relieved from duty and many need to go to jail. Nothing else will stop the spread of "the sea is not a courtroom" ideology in armed forces. Was the bombing of USS Cole totally cool because it was at sea? This is not how lawful militaries operate.

Not just a crisis for journalism but for civil-military relations: can't have civilian oversight if you don't have a free press (especially with this Pentagon).

Wait until he finds out who was President when the US signed its exit deal with the Taliban

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

My U.N. Commission’s Finding: Israel Is Committing Genocide

The president is boasting about how he has shut down boating and fishing in the Caribbean because everyone is afraid that he’ll murder them.

By my count, at least 7 universities have fired faculty or staff for social media posts about Kirk. Clemson, University of Mississippi, U of Tennessee, Newport News, Cumberland University, Middle Tennessee State, UT Knoxville Add to the thread if I've missed some

Clemson students called on their professors to be fired for political speech they didn't like. The legislature threatened to defund the university if it didn't comply. The professors were fired. Chairman Mao approves. www.thestate.com/news/politic...

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

racism and misogyny is not actually good for national security:

"But officials briefed on the strike said that the video does not tell the entire story. It does not show the boat turning after the people aboard were apparently spooked by an aircraft above them, nor does it show the military making repeated strikes on the vessel even after disabling it"

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

"But officials briefed on the strike said that the video does not tell the entire story. It does not show the boat turning after the people aboard were apparently spooked by an aircraft above them, nor does it show the military making repeated strikes on the vessel even after disabling it"

"It’s an unprecedented action for a U.S. president, asserting powers far beyond those utilized in the war on terror."

"Social media posts about the military mission in DC were assessed to be 53 percent negative, 45 percent neutral and 2 percent positive, documents say" "Its mission is perceived as “leveraging fear,” driving a “wedge between citizens & military,” and promoting a sense of “shame” among some troops"

The professor has been fired and senior administrators removed from their post. No mention of this in the New York Times, The Free Press, The Atlantic or other outlets who drove the campus speech moral panic.

“As a functional matter, the US government is simply out of the business of disaster aid globally...it’s done huge damage.”

I'm just a lowly international relations prof, but it seems hard to negotiate peace if you <check notes> keep killing the negotiators

If *your department head and your dean* can be removed for supporting your colleague in teaching in their area of expertise, then you have no academic freedom. In a functional sense, you don't work at a university at all.

“As a functional matter, the US government is simply out of the business of disaster aid globally...it’s done huge damage.”

It should not be up to John Oliver to be publicly making the argument that university presidents should be making loudly & collectively on the news & in front of the US Capitol every day.

To put this into context, the judicial warrant for the search at the Hyundai plant named just four people. Relying on that warrant, ICE detained nearly 500 people. DHS admitted that included U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and people lawfully here on visas.
