This is the 15th year of #DuvetKnowItsChristmas, which is preposterous. Rules: if you find yourself dealing with unusual / claustrophobic / gaudy sleeping arrangements this Christmas Eve, share a picture with the world. Use the hashtag (with capitalisation) and cc me if you can be bothered.

Or you might call them "camps" where people are to be "concentrated" until they are deported.

I have been unable to get all four dogs in a photo, but will update accordingly when I do

Two samoyeds sit behind a golden retriever. The Samoyed on the left is Dubu, the one in the back on the right is Kona, and Canoe is the golden retriever in the front. They are happy to meet you and hope you give them treats.

If you have brown skin even a birth certificate is not enough to avoid deportation. This is what the 14th amendment was intended to stop.

Does anyone else bristle at this framing? WSJ says blue books are “torturing” students with hand cramps, and “nobody likes them.”

Listen, students have been outsourcing everything to AI and cheating their way through college. Blue books should be celebrated as a return to authentic human learning.

They Were Every Student’s Worst Nightmare. Now Blue Books Are Back.

Cheating with ChatGPT has become a huge problem for colleges. The solution is painfully old-school.

Stop guilting people about being estranged from family members. It someone is they likely have personal reasons for being so.

So I have the cover story in next month's TNR.

I interviewed the heads of police groups; immigration defense attorneys, ex-judges and ex-prosecutors; former DOJ and DHS officials, and the former head of Border Patrol.

They're all horrified at what we've seen, and they all fear what's coming.

The idea that you have to win a major book prize before your colleagues will stop treating you like crap.... is why a lot of people, many of them POC and women, leave the profession. You shouldn't have to be Theda Skocpal level of scholar to be treated like a human.
