Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all: “If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.” Israel just killed him.

There was an episode of Star Trek:TNG where holodeck character Moriarty has some “control stick” such that when angry Moriarty randomly yanks that one lever, the entire ship shakes and lurches and is threatening to blow up. Hm. I don’t know what I’m thinking of that right now.

Lawlessness is intentionally removing prisoners from the US courts' jurisdiction so you have no accountability when you deprive them of their rights and do other awful things to them. The thing you monsters forgot: The courts still have jurisdiction over YOU for doing that.

For years conservatives and some liberals complained incessantly about ‘cancel culture’ and the lack of ‘free speech’ on campuses. None of that stuff comes even close to what the right is now doing in power, in terms of the open bullying and pressuring of colleges and censoring of curricula.
