Dear @wsj.com, please do not print lies in the newspaper. Sometimes, there are different views about what exactly happened. This is not one of those times.

I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

I just finished a three-year term as an editor at an international relations journal. I began at the start of the LLM era but ended right in the middle of it. Our volume of submissions tripled and our desk reject rate rose to 75%. I have some thoughts. open.substack.com/pub/hegemon/...

Reposting apropos of nothing. The media has a duty not only to document what's happening, but also to clearly spell out what is true based on the best available evidence

Inevitably, this is what a majority of folks in Texas voted for, whether they really wanted it or not.

I was an international student at Columbia. It is not clear to me on what authority the federal government should decide how many international students are too many at a particular institution of higher learning...and I'll just stop there.

As president, Trump scrapped the successful diplomatic solution to the Iran nuclear issue and escalated with Iran. After leaving, his criticism of the Gaza war was that Israel wasn't being violent enough. Then people who say they oppose war in the Middle East voted to give him power a second time.

...and I do so hate it.

Trump's being played by Netanyahu and Washington hawks. Regime change in Iran would be Iraq squared. Full on nuts.

So do we really want to do a war of choice, à-la-2003-Iraq? Have we not learned a single damn thing?

What Do Students at Elite Colleges Really Want? www.nytimes.com/2024/05/22/b...

Noem and her masked stormtroopers are coming after LA first because they know we’re the strongest. “Start a fight with the biggest guy in the yard on your first day” logic. they don’t expect to lose. they will lose. be emboldened by their targeting us first—we’re the city they’re most afraid of.

The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world. They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

this obsession with a handful of high status universities is also low key an indication of elite disdain for the institutions that educate most americans who attend colleges and universities

I was an international student in the US once Tonight, I’m thinking of the 1000s of international students at Harvard who will stay awake wondering if they will graduate I’m thinking of the 1000s accepted to begin their studies this fall The cruelty of this administration is stunning
