The letter warned that “any Israeli attack or interception would be a violation of international law.”

Universities must abandon all the concerns —rankings, donors, campus amenities— that preoccupy and distract them, and focus on their core mission: the production and dissemination of knowledge. Intellectuals have adopted this strategy to fight against autocrats in other countries. It works. -Gesson

Trump said we’re at the beginning of a “Golden Age.” What he perhaps meant was a “Gilded Age.” The first Gilded Age saw massive wealth inequalities, hyperpartisanship, virulent anti-immigrant sentiment and growing concern about money in politics. Sound familiar?
