This also exposes the obvious, bad-faith lie behind the SFFA case, that these right-wing orgs were ostensibly concerned about discrimination against Asian-Americans in college admissions. Now that the damage is done, they'll happily tell us they don't want Asians in American schools!
For these guys, it was never about illegal immigration, it was never about cultural assimilation. You can be born in America, drinking beer as you cheer on the Longhorns, but its not enough if you are not white.
Benny Johnson and Jack Posobiec defended Bo French’s racist post, saying that “there’s nothing wrong with wanting Texas to stay Texas” and “I don't see anything hateful about it”

I wonder if the Free Speech Brigade will be all over multiple publicly funded venues deplatforming a performer for saying "Free Palestine", or if their anger is only activated on behalf of racist scumbags talking about skull sizes at colleges

A related thought: these guys would never do this "but Academic Freedom" dance for someone doing "research" that sought to, say, justify the Holocaust.
They do it for racists because they, secretly or outwardly, think the racists might have a point.

If I turn up at the physics department ranting about the ether nobody is obliged to pretend that I must be given a job.
How about refuting them on theoretical and empirical grounds? That is kind of how science works. It doesn’t work by calling people names, refusing to engage with their claims and attempting to get them fired.

Maybe this is petty, but it's so weird to me that the Times frames this article this way because nowhere in the whole thing does the guy say he supports Trump any less

Remembering when Neri Oxman plagiarized Wikipedia and suffered no professional consequences, had no media frenzy, gee I wonder what the differences are
Not that it's a surprise, but the @nytimes.com has learned nothing from their Claudine Gay debacle; again they thoroughly adopt the framing of right-wing racists on X to cover a Black academic's scandal wildly beyond its importance.
This time, not even death can release the grip of these vultures.

Where do the students live, Tom? *Not* the city where they spend 9-12 months of the year?
Well, that's a new one. "College kids should be able to vote to overcome the wishes of the people who actually live in the place where they go to school"
To avoid homelessness, college students should vote where they live nine months out of the year. If they don’t, they will be outvoted by faculty and alumni who moved to the college town, bought themselves a home, and then used exclusionary zoning to block the housing needed by the next generation.

Has this administration had a single individual scandal that the NYT wrote more stories about than Claudine Gay's plagiarism accusations?

When a leftist wins a primary, they have to moderate to appeal to centrists; it's the left's fault for being extreme.
When a centrist wins a primary, they don't have to reach out to the left at all. This is, somehow, also the left's fault for being extreme.
Thanks for clearing that up, Tom.

Toxic only to the leftists who would have refused to vote for her anyway.
You can say that's bad, but most people can't find Gaza on a map.

Has Nichols ever addressed that Stevens, had she won the primary, world have also had a toxically unpopular record regarding Israel that she would have also needed to moderate on?

Where is Galloway "doxed", exactly?
I can't find his name on the list published by the city for the pied-a-terre tax here: www.nyc.gov/site/finance...
As best as I can tell from searching, this is the evil list that everyone is talking about. So where is Galloway's name?

It's crazy that a bunch of GOP senators aren't up for election again until 2030, two years after Trump leaves office, and they're still terrified of standing up to him and showing the slightest resistance to him sinking the ship lmao

Dokoupil interjects here to say that they invited Warner on the program to add context, which really misses the point that it shouldn't only be politicians with (D) after their names telling viewers that Trump lies a lot, it's his job too
Warner on CBS: I was embarrassed that the president went before our country and networks like yours carried this as news as opposed to a rehash of falsehoods. It is incumbent upon you and any responsible journalist to pushback on this.

So fitting that the Times has this "America in Focus" series that you'd think might be interested in the whole country but in practice only exists to center and highlight Trump supporters
