George Packer may be unpopular for this essay but it is right on the mark in my view. For years some ever-enlarging precincts of university curriculums have indeed created a crisis of our own making on campuses. Read and reflect? theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
When "activism" merges with narcissism, it's less about the cause and more about the ego.
Meet Khymani James, a student leader of Columbia University’s anti-Israel Gaza Solidarity Encampment who openly states that "Zionists don’t deserve to live" He made the comments during a meeting with the school that he live-streamed. We put together the highlights:
The videos coming out of @Columbia are vile. Peaceful protest is an American right, but this anti-semitism ain't it. It was just as vile when it was the right chanting "Jews will not replace us" at UVA — now that it's coming from the left doesn't make it OK.…

Odd that we suddenly got a blue check mark. We never had one before and we certainly haven't paid for it. Does everyone now have one?
Threads is now integrated into Facebook. X is gonna get smoked.
Fewer people are using X. In February, X had 27 million daily active users in the U.S., down 18% from a year earlier, according to Sensor Tower. Threads is getting about 16 downloads for every one download of X, according to Apptopia. nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news…

SCOOP: As I told him would happen, @donlemon, the owner of this platform Elon Musk sent a terse text to his reps: “Contract terminated” after an interview Lemon did with Musk last Friday that was not to the adult toddler’s liking, including questions about his ketamine use.
I read the now-censored Guernica essay by Israeli writer and translator @joannachen1 and it's beautiful and humane and achingly sad. If THIS qualifies as cause for staff resignations and censoring our culture is deeply damaged: web.archive.org/web/2024030509…

Ilhan Omar shaking hands with Khymani James, who openly stated “Zionists don’t deserve to live.” Her daughter then hugs him.
WATCH: Far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar and her daughter, who was arrested for rioting, embrace anti-Israel agitators at Columbia University's encampment amid nationwide campus takeovers. The Squad member lauds unhinged mobs for their 'bravery and courage' as chaos reigns."
Just saw @openculture share the original video. I then went down the rabbit hole of this guy. There is no way in hell, he's sorry. That was a chilling, horrifying video to watch.
Columbia campus protest leader apologies for 'kill Zionists' comments bbc.in/44i6AaO
This is very revealing.
That moment when the young woman has to ask her friend: "Why are we protesting here?" And the friends says: "I wish I was more educated" They're all in...but have no idea what they're in (answer: a pro-terror street party).
As an alumnus of Harvard, and after this mad season of antisemitism at Columbia, I co-sign. This former Governor of Massachusetts doesn't need a paycheck, but Harvard and its academic peers needs to recalibrate from far-left orthodoxy.
The videos coming out of @Columbia are vile. Peaceful protest is an American right, but this anti-semitism ain't it. It was just as vile when it was the right chanting "Jews will not replace us" at UVA — now that it's coming from the left doesn't make it OK.…
.@WhiteHouse statement on protests at @Columbia: “Calls for violence and physical intimidation targeting Jewish students and the Jewish community are blatantly antisemitic, unconscionable, and dangerous –they have absolutely no place on any college campus, or anywhere in the US”
Worth a listen for those who call the @Columbia protests peaceful.
@LailaAlarian @CNN These ‘peaceful protestors?’
In response to “horrific” scenes of antisemitic harassment at and around campus, the Orthodox Rabbi at Columbia/Barnard sent a WhatsApp message to more than 290+ Jewish students this morning recommending that they go home until it’s safe again for them on campus:
Saturday night in Tel Aviv. “Netanyahu be gone!”

Last night at @UCBerkeley, Jewish students were threatened, assaulted, and prevented from attending a speech by a Jewish speaker on campus. Campus police shut down this private event when it became clear that they could not protect the students. Multiple students reported being…
Mitt Romney: “I think the border is a very important issue for Donald Trump. And the fact that he would communicate to Republican senators and congresspeople that he doesn't want us to solve the border problem because he wants to blame Biden for it is is really appalling."
America’s top universities should abandon their long misadventure into politics, retrain their gaze on their core strengths and rebuild their reputations as centers of research and learning. My take:
.@sherylsandberg: Silence on Hamas rape is deafening
“Liz Magill has voluntarily tendered her resignation as President of the University of Pennsylvania.”
for a long time i said that antisemitism, particularly on the american left, was not as bad as people claimed. i'd like to just state that i was totally wrong. i still don't understand it, really. or know what to do about it. but it is so fucked.
I’m no fan of @RepStefanik but I’m with her here. Claudine Gay’s hesitant, formulaic, and bizarrely evasive answers were deeply troubling to me and many of my colleagues, students, and friends:
The President of @Harvard cannot answer the basic question: “Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Harvard’s rules regarding bullying and harassment?” She literally cannot just say YES. The only acceptable answer is YES.
These were heinous acts by Hamas that needed an unsparing and bright light shone brightly on them and @sherylsandberg did just that. It’s critical to not look away: nytimes.com/2023/12/04/wor…
Hamas violated ceasefire terms with Israel in order to cover up sexual abuse of female hostages. That's the headline.
