If you can’t see why Trump might let a drug trafficker who controls a lot of capital off the hook while peacocking as a tough-on-crime blowhard toward everyone who can’t offer him anything you might be too much of a twonk to do journalism

When a news outlet puts a reckless, undocumented claim by the Trump regime in the main headline and puts medical experts’ pushback in the smaller type, it’s making a choice. And not a good one.

It’s not complicated. The last NU board chair was the board chair of General Dynamics, which makes the shells for Istraeli tanks. No pro publica style investigation needed, journalists and faculty (and student speakers at the encampment!) have been screaming this for years. No one cares.
Still haven't read the full agreement because I deserve nice things occasionally. But there's really a need for a propublica-type investigation into the social network of these boards, presidents, & donors with the admin. At the same time, exploring the similarities and differences across deals.
I would love to see detailed reporting about how these deals come together. This one looks like an inside job even more than Columbia’s.

This is profoundly irresponsible by AGSulzberger’s NYT, @by-cjewett.bsky.social +eds.
The normalization, “view-from-nowhere”, “born-yesterday”, stenography, “both-sides”, irresponsible headline are disgraceful.
THE story is the CDC&FDA are being destroyed by antiscience & Americans will die.

ICE arrested military spouses at green-card interviews. Think about that: people married to U.S. service members, following the legal process, pulled into detention. If even military families aren’t safe, then no one is.

There is no way to read these agreements, at a moment when the presidency is so obviously both lawless and unpopular, other than a willful collaboration by university administrators who see utility and purpose in the overreach by a flailing fascist government.
