On settler violence in the West Bank: These words are striking if only because they come from a high-ranking former general in the Israeli Defense Forces. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...

This is an insane clip. I feel insane.
Trump defends Mohammed bin Salman over the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi:
"A lot of people didn't like that gentleman... Things happen... He knew nothing about it."
A US intelligence report concluded that bin Salman personally "approved an operation" to "kill or capture" Khashoggi.

Can someone who knows more about this than me tell me if there is a class element to this whole shutdown struggle? SNAP/Medicaid recipients versus ACA-insured/beneficiaries of enhanced premium tax credits?

I began class today with 10 minutes for my students to share their reflections on Mamdani’s victory and its significance — for them personally or for broader politics. Best 10 minutes of my day. CUNY students aren’t just the future. They are the present. They are New York, and they are America.

Another thing about this profession: Sometimes, teaching on the material that you "know best" goes relatively poorly, but teaching on the material that you "know worst" goes relatively well. There's a straightforward explanation but it still always catches me by surprise!
