Peter Drucker, a lecturer at Frankfurt University when the Nazis took over, recalled a faculty meeting where the new Nazi boss said Jews were banned and anyone complaining would be sent to a concentration camp. A professor then asked a question: “Will there be more money for research in physiology?”

This is one of the most incredible things I’ve ever read. It is, apparently 🙄, “anti Zionist racism” to call someone a “‘Zionist’ without their consent.” Also, to call them a “colonizer” or “genocide supporter.” I guess they really have completely worn out ‘antisemitism.’ 🤷🏻‍♂️

So apparently the administrators at Northwestern have caved to the extortionist demands of the Feds. Faculty voted 595-4 AGAINST this measure.

Wow

I'm teaching about Gaza on Monday. I assigned this article. You should read it if you haven't, because the trauma it describes is unbearable and we all need to sit with it. archive.ph/JlVfm#select...

Kneecap is suing Canadian MP Vince Gasparro for his lies and defamatory comments. I couldn’t possibly love this any more.

And in canada....??!! Plateau - thx anti-vaxers

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

And this is why the corporate class shut down Teen Vogue.

Lolol

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

We had some great conversations

Many of the anti-pluralism trends we are seeing right now in Canadian higher education have their own root in Canada & calling them imported is only part of the story. In 2018 @evehawk.bsky.social & I organized a symposium addressing the emergence of Peterson but also the longer history of the trend

A world without borders, one that acknowledges that our freedom to move is being violently denied by nation-states, is the way out of this mess.

Activist Greta Thunberg was beat, forced to crawl and kiss the Israeli flag, and dragged by her hair in front of everyone as stated by freed abductee of the Global Sumud Flotilla, Ersin Celik.

This sounds amazing

As a friend recently pointed out, the tell-tale sign of authoritarianism is the state going after those who satirize it.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

It is quite simply dishonest to describe TPUSA as a “free speech” organization and not even mention the “Professor Watchlist,” as NPR just did. Reporting on a crime does not entail adopting the victim’s views.

We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.

The University of Chicago has one of the most celebrated doctoral programs in South Asian Studies anywhere in the world-- tragic to see it "pause." I was fortunate enough to publish my ethnography of the Daudi Bohras with @uchicagopress.bsky.social: www.amazon.com/Mullahs-Main...

I haven’t seen the new Superman movie. But I did just discover some incredible Superman comics from the late 1930s, including one where he “declares war on reckless drivers” after witnessing a rise in traffic fatalities.

Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."
