Just going to point out that "two" is a multiple value. QED, the student is demonic under her own unassailable, Biblical logic. (By the way, the Bible describes more than two genders, but you have to read the damn thing to gain that knowledge -- merely thumping it won't get you there.)

I read most newly published books about antisemitism because it's part of my field of research and I like to be aware of what other people say about the topics I study, even when I disagree with them. I haven't bothered with Bari Weiss' book, How to Fight Anti-Semitism. Lots of reasons, including:

Sharyn Alfonsi is an award-winning journalist who has worked for 60 Minutes for 20 years. Before that she reported for ABC, CBS & local news outlets. If Alfonsi says her story was spiked by Bari Weiss political reasons, that’s exactly what happened. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

This is your periodic reminder that when JD Vance called Trump "America's Hitler," he was expressing admiration, not horror.

Sometimes the scroll is startlingly on point.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

Curiously, this was predicted in the Book of Ecclesiastes, 1:9: "What has happened is what will happen. What has occurred is what will occur. There is nothing new under the sun."

A little math on this: Let's say I studied with 25 professors when I was a student at Albany. All things being equal, this proportion would mean I had *ONE* Black professor. Which means an awful lot of students would never have any.

Sadly, the Constitution does not specify that one must have passed math in middle school to serve as Secretary of Commerce.

Kennedy Center Dishonors

There are a few Jewish players in the NFL. Now they know the assignment.

Keeping children alive does not "align with departmental priorities" under RFK Jr.'s "leadership."

One of the biggest moments of my career: USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

Those states are Confusion, Delusion, Poverty, Emergency...

It really cannot be overemphasized enough that JD Vance follows a host of open Nazis on Twitter.

These are features, not bugs, to a person who says this disaster is the finest president in US history.

On U.S. soil, the worst antisemitic massacre in living memory was perpetrated by one of Vance's white nationalist fellow travelers, who was specifically incensed about the Jewish community providing aid to refugees and asylum seekers.

IANAL, but it amazes me how many people are apparently successful lawyers but seemingly don't understand anything about the legal system. The only explanation that makes sense is that they're at best amoral grifters for whom "legal" is entirely about what they can get away with.

Also works for the Washington Post.

I definitely have some of the key words in my syllabus. If anyone has a problem with it, that's antisemitic.

My father once suggested to me that Christian churches became great patrons of the arts because their flock were mostly illiterate and pictures were how they told the Bible stories they adapted into justification for murdering Jews. Tell me about sacrilege and abusing sacred imagery.

"Thoughts and prayers" are the refuge of fools who revel in the blood of innocent students studying for exams.

This is the Jewish-Muslim solidarity I know and treasure. Prayers up for his speedy healing and gratitude for his courage.

I'm sorry but any time you say that Israel's actions are "making" people antisemitic I just hear all the chuds from twenty years ago who swore that it was only because of 9/11 that they were now raging Islamophobes

The horrific tragedy at Brown University is the 389th mass shooting this year and the 230th gun incident on school grounds so far this year. This is not normal and we don't have to live this way. bradyunited.org @bradyunited.org

The world's richest 0.001% now control 3x as much wealth as the entire bottom half of humanity combined. 56,000 wealthy individuals have more than roughly 4 billion people. Read that back.

ICYMI: Last night @jeremyfaust.bsky.social revealed that Drs. Makary and Prasad of the FDA have lied to all of us with their claims that COVID19 vaccines “killed 10 children”. The scientists that did the work found that there were ZERO deaths that they could be certain were caused by the vaccines.

At a minimum, Prasad and Makary should lose their licenses for blatantly lying to the public about kids dying from the COVID19 vaccine, when the actual investigation found that zero deaths were certain to have been caused by vaccination. Despicable, egregious, murderous behavior. Link below.

If you want to save a trillion dollars a year, you have to eliminate the for-profit system. In fact, how about we just get rid of anything that profits from human misery?

"Young people want authenticity!" Ok, how are you going to give them authentic content? "We're gonna have AI do it!"

Speaking of Jews and Chinese food on Christmas, our 2015 study of the Jewish community of Nashville and Middle Tennessee found that 32% of Jewish adults in the region had eaten Chinese food the previous Christmas. (We ask the hard questions.)

Fair to say this is probably true of most vaccines. Absent a specific medical issue diagnosed by a real doctor, not someone who pretends to be one on TV, someone telling you not to get a potentially life-saving vaccine is trying to kill you.

I wonder how many of the agrees and neutrals think space lasers are real.

First, it was members of his Cabinet, then members of Bill Pulte's family and now the President himself. The breathtaking hypocrisy of this adminstration's weapon-of-choice shows the real basis for these investigations: political retribution. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

The part of the Dunning-Kruger effect that covers incompetent people severely overestimating their expertise and having supreme confidence in their extremely uninformed views might have to be renamed after the conman currently in charge of public health.

I love that the Forward is sharing so much content in recent months about small Jewish communities. forward.com/culture/7884...

This is your periodic reminder that when JD Vance described Trump as "America's Hitler," he was expressing admiration, not criticism.

A study on 1.7 million people in Hong Kong shows superior hybrid immunity to Covid in people who got vaccinated before infection vs. people who got infected first. "Our findings are a direct rebuttal to arguments for natural immunity," the authors write. doi.org/10.1016/j.va...

During ratification of the 14th Amendment, senators discussed whether the Citizenship Clause would apply to the children of immigrants and resoundingly concluded that it did. The text and history all point in one direction and the counter-arguments are patently fraudulent. I am going to lose my mind

The slogan is New Coke. Or the Chevy Nova in a Spanish-speaking country.

Finally, an idea upon which we we agree. But what's this "if"?

Today I got a peace price from my homeowners association. They made it into a beautiful medallion and put it on a chain right next to a key that opens up a the most important door to the recycling bin . And the medallion is gold. I couldn’t be more proud. Just wanted to share the news.

Nice to know you can order up a war crime over Twitter or Signal.

One day, if the country survives, people will talk about John Roberts with the same reverence as Roger Taney.

Here's the rule: If you're resisting fascism from within the government, you're my favorite no matter what the cloud shows.

"How One Incredibly Compromised Man Repeatedly Sacrificed His Country's National Interest and its People's Preferences Rather than Cede Power" should be the title of every biography that will ever be written about Benjamin Netanyahu.
