Conservatives say all profs mindlessly parrot "settler colonialism" slogans. That's not true. My book that shows how early modern authors challenged the biases and prejudices of their age. www.amazon.com/Early-Modern...

Was Shakespeare racist? or anti-racist? Was he an antisemite? Or did he criticize antisemitism? Early Modern Others answers those questions, and shows how early modern authors challenged the biases and prejudices of their age. www.amazon.com/Early-Modern...

"Notice and comment is unnecessary because I am ordering the repeal." From Trump's Executive Order on Showerheads. With this sentence, we have crossed the Rubicon. We are now an authoritarian country where Trump's word is law. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Grateful for this review of Early Modern Others! "an ambitious book that makes us conscious of the perils of a univocal reading of literature, . . . provides a very different voice [on] racism, identity, prejudice, and discrimination."https://spenserreview.org/article/id/121/

I don't care what side of the Israel-Palestine conflict your sympathies lie on, snatching up people with a valid student visa for the crime of writing an OpEd is naked fascism and if you don't oppose this you are a threat to this country's most basic values

And Trump complained endlessly about Hilary Clinton's emails! www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Sadly, I have to agree. If there was one lesson CU taught its undergrads, it would be: "don't bow to tyrants." CU's administration bowed to a tyrant.

Vermeule teaches at Harvard Law. Tom Cotton is a Harvard Law grad. JD Vance is a Yale Law grad. John Yoo is a Yale Law grad. Samuel Alito, Yale Law. Brett Kavanaugh, Yale Law. Clarence Thomas, Yale Law. "Elite" law schools ought to be having a reckoning. But they won't.

Trump spokesperson Karoline Leavitt issued this statement today: “President Trump is the leader of the Republican Party. Full stop.” Reminds me of something Tywin Lannister said: "Any man who must say 'I am the king' is no true king."

I don't know why the arson is "alleged" since the police found an "incendiary device" at the scene. www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

I have my Shakespeare students do a short video of them reciting 10 lines. One chose Shylock's "Hath not a Jew eyes," speech. She recited the speech against a black background with a menorah in front. With each way Jews are like Christians, she lit a candle. She also gave me this gift:

David Axelrod: "Now Trump says he's suing the Des Moines Register because their poll understated his support; 60 Minutes because of their editing of Kamala Harris interview; the Pulitzer committee for honoring the nytimes coverage of Russian election interference. Welcome to Hungary, folks!"

For my new followers (thank you!), my article on how the SCOTUS decision giving Trump immunity for "official" acts goes against fundamental American values. Please read and share widely if you like it! www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
