the same administration screaming at universities about “merit” is also elevating unqualified hacks to critical positions, which makes you wonder about what they mean by “merit”

About 1.5 years ago, I signed a letter by CUNY journalism school faculty that basically just said killing journalists is bad, because even then the number killed in Gaza was setting records. Somehow this was…wildly controversial at the time.

Once these pussies realized LA wasn't gonna roll over they knew they needed a second target, which I figured would be Chicago or Minneapolis, but it looks like they're gonna try shit with DC and I don't think that's a good idea at all

We must as Americans stop arming Israel. And Israelis must bring down Netanyahu. May the memory of Anas Al Sharif and the memories of all who died on October 7 and beyond be for more than a blessing. May their memories pressure us to move beyond the horror of the present to end this war and rebuild

Kennedy catches a lot of the heat for the politicized state of public health and science today.

But like, Bhattacharya is right fuck there, man….

Dude is a right-wing political operative spreading bullshit and masquerading as a serious scientist.
