I didn't have the energy to participate. It takes a lot of work to get the truth out. It takes something out of you to revisit the scene of the crime. But bravo to my colleagues who did it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Pub date: Feb 24. "Who's Allowed to Protest?" I've been told by people who know more about book publishing than I do that now is the time to publicize. Now or never! The clock is ticking! So anyone (are you out there?) who might be able to blog, review, invite for a talk, anything-- yes, please!

Columbia's Office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action has invited me to a hearing to answer the charge that I said the following: at Thanksgiving I am uncomfortable passing food to members of the IDF. How will the EOAA determine the tone in which those words were said, if they were?
