Spotted at Harvard today. Not great at all at how this nazi is being mainstreamed and normalized. This shit is absolutely not welcomed here. Used water from my water bottle to erase part of it.

Contributor: Unlike at Columbia, Trump's attack on UCLA is aimed at taxpayer money
The UC system is a public gem, and punishing it harms all Californians. This salvo in the war on higher education crosses a line: It's different to pressure a public institution.

My dear friend’s niece, who in October developed sepsis when a Georgia hospital refused her a D&C after a miscarriage, will be taken off life support tomorrow. I don’t know the names of the countless others who have suffered and will suffered because of anti-abortion laws. But her name was Haley.

Tom Friedman on point here, though he understated the case. Either Trump is the worse negotiator in all the universes of truth and fiction, or he is beginning an alliance with Russia with a joint attempt to subjugate Ukraine (and then much else). www.nytimes.com/2025/03/04/o...

A week ago Rina Sutzkever, the daughter of Avrom Sutzkever, passed away. She was Sutzkever’s second child; the first was murdered in the Vilna Ghetto immediately after being born. Rina gave me permission to translate her father’s work and this poem, “Toys” is the first translation I ever completed.
