Tremendous victory for RFK Jr.

feels like "one of my best friends was the world's most famous pedophile" should keep you from teaching but i am not harvard

If this picture was of Obama, you know @FoxNews would do three weeks solid on why the flag was on the ground. At least three weeks

THIS IS BIG For non-academics who might not understand why: 1. Sen. Warren is still a Harvard professor so this is a call coming from inside the house 2. As a tenured law prof, Warren knows it is a VERY big deal from a labor standpoint to call on Harvard to ignore tenure. The bar for this is HIGH.

Listen… Mike Johnson can claim he never tried to stop this, but the timeline tells the truth. If he wasn’t trying to bury this petition, we wouldn’t have spent weeks begging him to do the bare minimum. Release the files.

“Sir, it seems Olivia Nuzzi had an affair with a second old man who was running for president”

I need eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, but for things I read online.

Bret Stephens, making the case for the United States invading Venezuela: "Why hasn’t Greta Thunberg set sail to Caracas with symbolic deliveries of food?" ...No one has ever made Bret Stephens look worse than Bret Stephens. The competition is only ever for second place.

The numbers tell the story.

Not to yuck peoples yum but if they can let Patton Oswalt back in for doing the exact same damn thing then they can also reinstate Link.

I think this misses a key part of how academia works in practice. He’s a senior colleague (not at her university) who would have influence over her career. He also described himself as a mentor. You don’t need to be at someone’s institution (in academia) to hold power over someone’s career.

So the American Nazis are finishing the work of the German Nazis now

Counterpoint: it's fine for Universities to cut ties with people for being sex creeps. In fact, it's a positive good. Far too many women avoid academia precisely because of shitheads like Summers. Add to the fact that his code name for her was "peril", likely in reference to "yellow peril"...

license plate data merged with credit header data, marriage records, vehicle ownership, and voter registrations, in one app for ICE agents. oh and it sends push notifications when someone they're seeking is nearby. 🆒: www.404media.co/this-app-let...

NEW: An analysis finds that NIH funding cuts have disrupted at least 383 clinical trials, affecting over 74,000 participants that were enrolled in studies that were testing treatments for conditions including cancer, heart disease and brain disease.

Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵

they're going after holocaust survivors

Don't do any of this.

The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121. #epstein

it's incredibly hard not to make Nazi comparisons right now

"People familiar with FBI security protocols said they were unaware of any other instance in which the girlfriends of top FBI officials received government-staffed security details..." www.ms.now/news/kash-pa...

If an attractive young woman a third my age didn't want to date me, then why did she ask me for feedback on an economics paper? by Larry Summers

Want to once again point out that Fox News has an entire Bill Maher section of their website that updates several times a week

China has banned calling your car self-driving when it isn't, a ban on slick door handles that don't work in emergencies is in the works, and now it's coming for rapid 0-60 times, as it seeks to destroy every last one of Tesla's "innovations." carnewschina.com/2025/11/13/c...

"Of course he knew about the girls." Check out our new billboards in New York's Times Square highlighting the recently released emails from Jeffrey Epstein about Donald Trump. They'll be in Times Square for the next two weeks.

So @brianstelter.bsky.social has a good cheat sheet on the cracks in MAGA

Jeff Bezos received a quarter of a million from his parents in 1995 to start his online bookstore idea.

🤦🏿‍♂️But... She doesn't want to come over. She just wants the Epstein files released. Dems try so hard to forgive people that don't even want your forgiveness, haven't asked for it, And haven't even stopped doing the harmful behavior. It's silly.

Again, this is an existential crisis for the entire financial & academic model of 🇺🇸 public universities, but the public doesn’t understand this, in part because our leaders have been <totally absent from the public square> on this issue. It’s maddening: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Think about how much the press obsessed over Barack Obama’s “relationship” with former Weatherman Bill Ayers, a relationship that consisted of their serving on the same nonprofit board of directors for three years.

predatory men are an enormous tax on women’s productivity (and happiness)

Could argue the misogyny Summers expressed both publicly while president of Harvard and in emails to Epstein says more about the culture at our most elite institutions than any of the frontpage freakouts over academia in the past few years but hey

all the Prometheus, Icarus, Palantir, Erebor, etc. shows that none of these guys - none, and it is almost all guys - have actually done the reading

US citizen Maria Greeley, a Latina who was adopted, was walking home from work downtown when masked agents zip tied her. They said she “doesn’t look like a Greeley.” This is how the government treats people under current deportation policies. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/15/l...

They think we’re all so stupid

Jaw dropped. Trump Administration Removes Report on Missing and Murdered Native Americans, Calling It DEI Content

Was thrilled to help consult for this fantastic John Oliver segment on the tragic plight of U.S. public media and why, if we hope to be a democracy, we still need public media for so many things that commercial media will never provide. Deserves a wide viewership. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yknM...

Yep, being an active Nazi endangers your kids. 100% your fault.

AOC has a better shot at 2028 than Newsom does, that prick already threw in his lot with the rightwing podcasters and the transphobes. Reactionary centrists can whine about "purity tests," but fact is Dem contenders now must have spine & principles. Candidates without that will struggle in 2028.

The generous interpretation is that Larry Summers is a sex creep. A less generous interpretation is that he's a sexual harasser. The least generous interpretation is that he's a sexual predator. Any interpretation is sufficient to shun him from polite company and to vanquish him from public life

the entire CHUD demographic really does believe video game rules apply, where you just bust into a guy's house and steal his stuff and if you go back one respawn cycle he'll be all "welcome, stranger!"

bush v gore is the hinge upon which basically everything awful from the last quarter century swings on

There was an ICE watch and rapid responder appreciation event in Rogers Park today, and I wasn't able to attend, but I did send over 20 signed copies of Let This Radicalize You as gifts for my fellow volunteers. There's a virtual appreciation event happening soon, and I will def be present for that.

oh he was gonna lose damn near the whole caucus, huh

This is absolutely disgusting. Larry Summers discussed wanting to fuck a former Harvard student who was Chinese with Epstein. He nick named her "peril" a reference to the racist "yellow peril." Larry Summers needs to resign. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

a notable thing here is that Jin is about as powerful and privileged as you can be - first-tier Chinese aristocracy, basically, super-connected - and that still didn't prevent her from being harassed by Summers

This is such a great piece. Thanks, Chris!
