If everyone in who voted for Jill Stein in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and Michigan in 2016 had voted for the Democrat instead, Donald Trump would never have been the president. bit.ly/4eee4im

Israel destroyed all the universities in Gaza.
I get a strange inkling that all these Columbia and UCLA students running around yelling “Free Palestine” would not be jumping at the opportunity to do a semester abroad in Gaza.

It’s worth reminding those critical of the student protests raging across the US: Gaza no longer has universities. Every single university in Gaza has been bombed into oblivion. Hundreds of academics, scholars, professors, & students have been killed since Oct. 7. #scholasticide

Just a thought: Instead of TikTok, how about we ban assault weapons first?

The truly scandalous thing about the MSM's failure to splash this across the front pages is that secret treacherous collaboration between the GOP and Russia is a huge, sensational story by any normal journalistic standard.

My life has been defined by doing what’s right—not what’s politically expedient. I stood alone against the War in Afghanistan. I was one of the first electeds to support Medicare for All. Now, I'm the only candidate calling for a permanent ceasefire. latimes.com/california/story…

David Frum is rehabilitating Woodrow Wilson. Thomas Friedman is describing Middle Eastern countries and people as insects and parasites. Why do we keep letting the people who gave us the Iraq War pretend like they know anything at all other than racism and imperialism?

Every university in Gaza destroyed. 94 academic colleagues (many more under rubble), thousands of students dead. We are publishing papers posthumously. Our collective work destroyed. The plans for my guest lectures to students are ghosts in my diary euromedmonitor.org/en/articl…
