As we have said for years—the Trump administration is only pretending to fight antisemitism in order to make themselves the arbiters of what counts as antisemitic. Their real goal is to crush anti-Zionism and subordinate all Jewish people to the Christian Nationalist agenda.

One thing that i don’t see people noting about the Cornell Sun’s reporting on the rape case is that everyone who decided to take the risk and made the core decisions about what would be published is a woman

I honestly didn’t expect him to defend them in the open like this. I figured he’d be trying to use his influence behind doors.

It is astonishing how many people have, in worrying about a nonsense problem, managed to find a way to stake out a position that they’d actually be ok with little slavery as long as the slaves are happy.

Every AI generated event poster is incredibly ugly, but I do think it's interesting that that LLMs have essentially created a house style for flyers, especially one so maximalist and ugly and in contravention of of all convention and best practices established in graphic design over centuries.

Just read @katemanne.bsky.social ‘s fantastic piece in The Cut about the Cornell rape and she points out that students protesting conditions in Gaza were treated more harshly than the rapists and holy shit, this detail

One of these students was my own advisee, and having supported her throughout the the months-long case, I can state with confidence that she did nothing wrong. Moreover, she happens to be deaf and was suspended in part for being “unreasonably loud.” Privacy consideration

That account is on one of the lists I use so I can’t see details, but the last time I looked it didn’t strike me as being real? Like I can’t imagine him not using his normal weirdo picture? Impersonating him is of course a great reason to block it, in any case.

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...

But there’s also something about truth to pain. We talk a lot about truth to power, but I think it’s actually a lot harder to speak truth to pain. I say that as someone who went to medical school, realizing that in a lot of our politics right now, we’ve got to get a lot better at speaking truth to pain if we’re going to get through some of these challenges that we have.

What does “truth to pain” mean?

It’s one thing to look power in the eye and say: You’re wrong about this. But there’s a way in which pain is very difficult to reason with. Because when somebody is in their pain, they’re in their trauma. They see that pain, and they may not see what’s causing it.

I remember just very explicitly being in a trauma ward with a gunshot wound patient and watching this big guy with his hand on his gunshot wound. All the folks are trying to pull his hand off his pain, that point of his gunshot wound, this clear vulnerability.

And this emergency room doctor had the presence of mind to be like: Everyone, stop. And she looks him in the eyes, and she’s like: I get that really hurts, and I’m so sorry that you’re here. You don’t want to be here. We don’t want you to be here. But if you don’t let us fix this, you could die. So I’m going to take your hand, and I’m going to move it off, OK? Because I need to get there so that you can live.

She was speaking truth to pain. He understands he’s at the hospital, he needs care, but he also doesn’t want anybody to touch the wound. Which is a natural thing. And I think it is a really great metaphor for how we think about a lot of these challenges we talked about today.
