trump's iran policy is at 28%; even lower than his approval. D approval has to be near 0. Israel and AIPAC approve of Trump's Iran policy. Trump's Iran policy is the most salient aspect of his middle east policy now. If you are in a D primary, would you want to associate yourself with AIPAC? 1

How can we safeguard federal science policy decisions from political interference? Today, @jbd-phd.bsky.social, Joe Reed, and I have a new essay out with @knightcolumbia.org on reimagining federal scientific integrity, given progress and trials of past decades. knightcolumbia.org/blog/envisio...

Knight First Amendment Institute@knightcolumbia.org · last mo.Can protecting government science help protect democracy? In a new essay, @gretchentg.bsky.social, @jbd-phd.bsky.social, and Joseph Reed of @ucs.org call for a stronger federal scientific integrity infrastructure built around three principles: transparency, independence, and authority.
Opposing an ongoing genocide our government is funding isn't some unreasonable purity test—it's a baseline moral expectation. Just as no progressive should tolerate Nazis, Holocaust denial, or creepy antisemitic conspiracy theories, no progressive should be comfortable with an ongoing genocide.Easy.

There is just so much to unpack in Van Jones' tweet. What exactly is the expected base level stance on Israel if you are a moderate? Oh, country that is currently engaging in an ongoing genocide don't worry... We still support you.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.Tom Emmer: "Minnesotans are so afraid that you're gonna call us a racist, you're gonna call us an Islamophobe. You know what? I'm done being even the least bit careful. Somalis don't assimilate. And if they don't assimilate, then they should go the hell back to where they came from."
this is a great illustration of one of the fundamental insights of democracy — that there is no such thing as "the people" and that majorities are elusive and ever shifting. no election, no decision, is final and treating an election as a final decision is profoundly undemocratic.

They're saying the quiet part out loud now. Jenny Maxwell, head of education for Grammarly/Superhuman: “We’re doing a huge pedagogical upheaval in education,” she said, calling it a “burn it down moment. We’re just in the early stages.” Burn down higher ed without any plan to rebuilt. Gift link.

For context. In Operation Cast Lead, Israel killed about 1400 people (1167 civilians). So Israel killed just as many people in Gaza during a supposed "cease fire" stage. Monsters.

Watching Ahmed Jibril's 2004 Witness on an Era interview is such a disorienting encounter with Palestinian history. Beyond the narrative of a Syrian proxy emerges a formidable military strategist who sought an alternative to Arafat's ineptitude, only to become a Syrian gun for hire.
