Tocqueville explains why those who seek absolute power fear private civic organizations & prefer to promote equality before the state rather than community outside the state:
SCOOP: I reviewed an internal State Dept memo, parts of which was classified, that included the most extensive and serious to date warnings to Secretary Blinken over Israel’s possible non-compliance with international humanitarian law. Here’s what I learned 1/X
In a new post, I investigate whether black-white homicide disparities in the United States can be accounted for economic disparities. In short, I find that large systematic homicide disparities remain, even when economically similar people are compared.

Some thoughts about the supplemental bill. This is good news, but it will primarily help Ukraine defend in 2024 and into 2025. Russia will still likely make further gains this year, and it doesn't fix all of Ukraine's issues. It should be seen as one part of a long-term strategy.
I have deleted my tweets about Bachram's tweet because I had missed Fohlin's arm motion in that part of the video and thought she was referring to when she approached the other cop arresting the student earlier. I still think the cop used unnecessary force, but having now looked…
I've been thinking about this tweet a lot recently. A related observation is that how people react to unfair attacks on their ideological/political adversaries tells you a lot about their willingness or ability to put truth above their tribalistic loyalties.

Not seen a better example of the “two sides to every story” bit. First up, see this carefully cut clip. Then see my next tweet.

I think this overinterprets this episode. It's true that true ideologues in the movement are committed one-staters, which incidentally doesn't necessarily mean freeing historic Palestine from Jews in their mind, but the most plausible explanation here is just that, like most…

U.S. intelligence has determined Putin likely didn't order the timing of Navalny’s death. Their assessment doesn’t absolve Putin of ultimate responsibility. on.wsj.com/4b8rFGQ on.wsj.com/4b8rFGQ
Not gonna lie, Trump having secretly converted to Islam and using the power of his office to crush the enemies of the Prophet upon being reelected would be an amazing plot twist for season 2, I would definitely watch.

A peculiar aspect of the discourse on the pro-Palestine student protests is that, if you criticize the wild claims people make about how they supposedly put Jewish students at risk of physical violence, it means that you support the protests themselves and endorse all the tactics…

@jonahdavids1 @mainegop Wow you’re transforming into a Republican politico right before our eyes.
Back at the @mainegop convention today where we held an education round table and heard from parents, teachers, and school board members on the problems facing their districts. Again, so cool to see research having real-world impact and resonating w/ ppl on the ground.
(re saying "i'm a professor!" while being arrested) very few ppl suddenly, violently shoved to the ground and arrested think "my next words will be analyzed by people on twitter, so i'll choose them carefully!" mainly they're probably just thinking: "!?!?!?!?!"

@MaxAbrahms The Supreme Court held that Nazis had a right to march through Skokie so you have to separate content from underlying conduct. Some of the conduct may indeed cross the line but I’d be surprised if all of the protests did.
Along with freedom of speech and religion, the First Amendment provides a right of assembly, including protests and sit-ins as long as they are peaceful (not CNN’s definition of “peaceful protests” but actually peaceful). This right applies even if you don’t like the content.

@phl43 One of the more annoying interactions I've repeatedly had online is pointing out someone's argument is shitty, and having them assume I disagree with their conclusion or am on the opposite side
@phl43 I should add that these two different cases give very different meanings to the same act, especially if you are trying to read someone's level of tribalism from it.
