This is *the* piece. Kate Manne, professor of philosophy at Cornell, speaks truth to the totality of failures at the university — and why students protesting the war in Gaza have faced far harsher consequences than any of the Cornell 7: www.thecut.com/article/what...

What It Feels Like at Cornell Right Now
As a professor at the Ivy League school, Kate Manne has known many, many victims. There’s a palpable feeling on campus, she writes, that this is big.

basically the danger is not that arnold schwarzenegger is going to come back from the future and kill us all but that panicking about future schwarzenegger will cause us to destroy the world.

If celebrating your religious holidays requires insulting another religion, it’s pretty despicable. They won’t rest until they take over Al-Aqsa. For hundreds of years Muslims have kept holy places safe. It’s taken less than a hundred for these to threaten them all.

And they tell us there‘s not enough money to pay social security. Instead of wasting all our money, put it towards what taxpayers expect. It’s galling to think our kids will be paying this administration’s debt while also not receiving any return on their social security tax.

The fact that Pearl called out CAIR makes it clear that this was really another attempt to link Muslims with terrorism and silence any effort at balance.

Interesting read. I always thought that the Bajorans were Palestinian because the occupation tracks closely to their story. Occupation is quite a specific form of violence that not all oppressed peoples experience. Lots to think about out.

What’s so enraging other than the bold anti-Muslim hate is the disrespect it shows for the Muslims who died. Including 2 of my family members. Who the hell are these people that they think they can speak for everyone? Hoe dare they?

Congress has never designated a legal public holiday (the kind that closes fed’l offices) to celebrate an important woman in US history or to recognize women’s struggles against sex discrimination. How about Aug. 26, the anniversary of the 19th Amendment & the Women’s Strike for Equality? #WeTheMen

This is an absolutely wild way to talk about LITERAL KITES
Israel must remember the danger carried by Gaza kites, Hamas dictating tempo at border - editorial
Israel has paid far too high a price to relearn this lesson. The kites crossing the border today may contain nothing, but the next ones may not. We should not wait and see.At least six kites crossed from Gaza into Israel over the past week, with other reports putting the number higher. None of those recovered so far carried explosives, and no Israelis were endangered. The IDF said it believes Palestinian youth, some only 12 or 13 years old, are being used to launch them, likely at the direction of Hamas terrorists.A border is either defended, or it is not. If Hamas permits organized launch sites to operate, it should understand there will be a price. The IDF should also have clear procedures for detecting, intercepting, and handling anything that crosses from Gaza before residents stumble across it.

Plenty to reflect about re: the Arday affair, but I'm going to repeat this one thing. The playbook the right used here is effective even though it's not especially sophisticated, as it relies on the audience to do the dirty work. I've been calling it "Trojan horse propaganda", let's go with that. 1/

Congress passed the Corporate Transparency Act. Trump vetoed it. Congress overrode his veto on a bipartisan vote. So Trump has decided to simply not enforce the law. I do not understand the role of Congress anymore. I guess they just make suggestions?
