The other one supports a genocide.

Boston University, where I teach, has been taking down Pride Flags from faculty and office windows because of a new “content neutral” ban on public-facing flags and banners. This is a bad policy that infringes on free speech. Faculty are protesting. Today the President defended these actions. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Efforts to shut down pro-Palestinian speech face series of setbacks in court Rulings in cases alleging antisemitism on US campuses say common pro-Palestinian speech is constitutionally protected www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

5th Cir., 2-1, holds that police officer's claim that DeRay Mckesson negligently led a protest that resulted in injuries to the officer must go to a jury. Follows SCOLA's ruling that under Louisiana law there is a duty not to "negligently precipitate the crime of a third party."

It's a clear and sunny day in Chicago. ICE is out and about, with vehicles sighted across the city and suburbs. Berwyn Cicero Rapid Response just confirmed feds took two people from Cicero shortly after 8am.

A jury in Texas has convicted eight people in the first federal anti-terror case since the Trump administration declared “antifa” a terror group.

Since Trump took office in 2025, the FBI gutted its counterintelligence unit focused on threats from Iran and deprioritized racially motivated violent extremism. (Not to mention all the Jan. 6ers who reoffended.) And for what? To focus on left-leaning nonprofits. www.cbsnews.com/news/fbi-irs...

New from @pamherd.bsky.social & I: Trump's insane press conference did reflect one real goal: his willingness to lie about fraud to limit access to safety net services, even as his administration goes on an unchecked crime spree. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/one-bad-id...

the Trump administration ran a test last week. they wanted to know if they could convict protesters of terrorism for simply showing up to a demonstration. they got their answer! it's not good! a quick thread on the Prairieland convictions and what they mean for all our right to protest:

War in Iran, chaos in the Gulf, repression in the west: and the thread that binds them all is Palestine | Nesrine Malik www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Recently the DOJ sued UCLA, arguing that we are such a "hotbed of campus antisemitism"—primarily because of pro-Palestinian student protests—that it's a hostile work environment for Jewish faculty and staff. Well, many actual Jewish faculty and staff vehemently disagree and we wrote this letter:

“War is a relic of barbarism only possible because we are governed by a ruling class with barbaric ideas. The working class of all countries cannot hope to escape the horrors of war until in all countries that barbaric ruling class is thrown from power.” — James Connolly Irish Rebel

This is infuriating. Spanberger and VA Dems seem intent to let the basic structures of public universities remain status quo, apparently quickly forgetting the damage that is done when Virginia doesn’t have a Dem trifecta.

WaPo Deputy Opinion Editor is just straight up lying about Mamdani's estate tax proposal (in both tweets and an op-ed). The bill contains a $1.75 million primary residence exemption, exempts retirement accounts, and the 50% marginal rate doesn’t kick in until $30 million.

Sociologists for Palestine have asked members to send us the letters they have written to @asanews.bsky.social. We are sharing them here as evidence of how unpopular this decision is with the ASA membership. Please amplify this thread & any letters that resonate with your position.

“But white settlers’ hatred of Indians and desire for their lands percolated on the American frontier, while visions of territorial expansion reigned among national leaders.” How Benjamin Franklin (and other American colonizers) spread genocidal propaganda about indigenous peoples.

How do the natsec libs feel about the lifting of sanctions on Russian oil just for the sake of waging forever war in MENA to the benefit of basically only one country

Of the 43 MPHA & CHR filings: average amount of alleged overdue rent is ~$865, with 32 cases alleging less than $1,000, and a couple for less than $100. *our #'s are approximate because of occasional delays in data entry & review of filings.

It's not just that he refused to condemn Ogles and Fine; he endorsed the substance of their vile messages, taking issue only with their "tone," and he introduced a new line of bigotry-fueled conspiracy theory about Muslims wanting to impose sharia law. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
