This behavior is especially unacceptable for law students. What do they think? That they can interrupt and disrupt their opponents in court? Nope. They'll be forced to listen and respond with reason, not disruption.

Great get, @TheFIREorg! I will proudly wear my FIRE socks to celebrate your wise hire. Hope y’all are ready to have debates about when Christmas music is allowed to be played, though. 😉

This was a great opportunity for Hume-Fogg students!

Important story, must share on Twitter! We need to get screens out of classrooms. But if we don't understand what learning is, we will fall just as hard for the next silver bullet solution, which might be "no screens." @karenvaites @mattyglesias @KelseyTuoc

CON laws are dumb. There. I said it.

Nobody has the right to shout someone down, hijack an event, or block others from listening. Protesting outside is protected. So is disagreement. But if you want to challenge a speaker, ask questions or organize your own event.

Lunch and Learns are the best!

A very bad sign. Pervasive fear should not be the price of political participation.

This point from @GovCox is so important: over the last 50 years America has been indoctrinated to believe that only presidential politics matters - which has justified a consolidation of power that's destroying checks and balances. The subsequent point from @EzraKlein is also important: thanks to the nationalization of media & destruction of local media, more and more people are obsessed with national politics & aren't interested in what's happening in their own community. Which is extremely bad. Very good interview here: nytimes.com/2025/09/19/opini…

Erika Kirk forgives her husband’s assassin and says: “The answer to hate is not hate. The answer, we know from the Gospel, is love and always love—love for our enemies and love for those who persecute us.”

Obama weighs in on Abundance:

Yup. Also the birthright citizenship decision isn't a major win for Trump. He has still lost all the birthright injunctions and will almost certainly lose on the merits soon enough. Oh, and there are other options for injunctions as well. There have been lots of overreactions to this decision.

Progressives must be consistently for free speech & not censor books because they disagree with the views of the author. What's next? Will the store no longer sell the Republic because Plato accepted slavery as part of ancient Greek society?

"Free speech makes you safer. Free speech cures violence. Free speech protects the powerless. And even 'bad' people can have good ideas." My talk from April at @TEDTalks 2025 in Vancouver is live!

Love this @HumeFoggKnights alum and future city planner and grateful to @freddieoconnell for going on his final bus ride with him. 😍😍

When did it become 'progressive' to hold students back, instead of helping everyone achieve? This approach was rejected in San Francisco and if it was on the ballot, it would be rejected anywhere else.

I don’t understand why blue books and handwriting are necessary solutions in 2025. Schools should build testing rooms with computers that lack connections to the outside world.

Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

Just ordered for my high school library. Can’t wait to talk about Abundance with my smart students. Thank you, @DKThomp and @ezraklein for writing this book.
