There are many things about academia that need fixing, but this one of the most insidious: the idea of “institutional neutrality.” It is a cowardly, cynical attempt to relieve universities from any moral responsibility for enabling racism & antisemitism to flourish www.nytimes.com/2025/06/21/u...

Trump has opted to respond to weekend’s horrific political violence by insulting Gov. Tim Walz.
The ghoulish response of Trump and the GOP
Insults and mockery fly after the horrific shootings.

A Trump supporter kills an elected official and critically injures another, and Trump’s instinct is to mock Tim Walz and call basic decency a “waste of time.” He’s not just unbothered. He’s unfit. Morally bankrupt. And he proves it daily. apnews.com/article/trum...
Trump says he won't call Minnesota Gov. Walz after lawmaker shootings because it would 'waste time'
A spokesperson for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz says the governor wishes Donald Trump would be a “president for all Americans.”

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Terry Moran reported what he saw as the truth. In my opinion, this isn’t an “opinion” as much as a reporter who has observed an individual and reported on what he has observed. This is the kind of information. American needs to know.
