how is this cretin still sitting on the bench? We need term limits.

Oh no!!! What happens to next year’s seniors? So sad

Let me guess —you’re a boomer? These backwards blame-the-victim comments only ever come from your messed up gen.

not only "changing her trajectory," but leading her to the painful realization that she was used--a realization that it can take a whole other lifetime to make peace with and stop being angry about.

Yes, and Jeffrey Dahmer was just trying a high protein diet.

a horrible story--and a sad reminder that having "good politics" does not guarantee you are a good person whatsoever.

This is such a bullshit take. Student professor affairs are not "normal messy" relationships. It can take a lifetime to get over being exploited by someone in a position of power at a formative age.

terrible take. A professor dating his undergraduate student is exploitation--full stop. Nearly always harmful, and can take the student a lifetime to get over the experience. Clearly, you know nothing about this subject. Maybe stick to other topics?

John, we used to know each other. Stop this illegal war we are fighting for Israel!

agree. Also, the Israel lobby has made the word "anti-semitism" meaningless. It now means, "criticized Israel in a way that hurt zionists's feelings."

Thank you for writing this! Uncomfortable topic but needs to be addressed.

a cabinet of lunatics, rapists, and freaks

thank you for making me laugh

Randy Fine, Harvard's finest. 🤮

Netanyahu never gave two shits about antisemitism. That's what is going on. It was only ever about amassing power and land.

Relatedly, it was always clear that the "Karen" epithet, used by Left and Right alike, was a way of mocking and suppressing feminist critiques.

Also, can we talk about how the media (nytimes, Atlantic, etc) spent all of 2024 wringing their hands over the supposed scourge of “antisemitic,” leftwing campus activism re Gaza (because one 20 yr old used the word ‘intifada’), while *actual* Nazis were busy plotting a takeover of the U.S. gov’t?

It’s real

Bari Weiss has never cared a wit about free speech--only protecting Israel and (more recently) the Trump administration.

As an undergraduate at Columbia, she tried to get a professor fired for the crime of being Palestinian. She has never given a wit about free speech--that was always, merely cover for her *preferred* speech.

RFK Jr. Denies Ever Laying Eggs In Olivia Nuzzi WASHINGTON—In an attempt to dispel rumors of an affair during the 2024 presidential campaign, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. held a press conference Monday during which he d...

RFK Jr. Denies Ever Laying Eggs In Olivia Nuzzi

Shame on The New York Times, @andrewrsorkin.bsky.social and @NicholasKristof for presiding over this vile DealBook panel discussion on Dec 3 featuring @Ehud Barak, the former Israeli p.m. and "friend of Jeffrey" who raped and beat to a pulp teenaged Virginia Giuffre. (So much for "cancel culture.")

There’s something we don’t know. In his blind obeisance to Trump, Johnson has made obsolete his own job. What’s in it for him?

This is a beautiful (and slightly terrifying) essay. A good reminder good health is a gift...

On My Last Leg An illness returns after a quarter century.

“When one is unwell, it becomes even more apparent that what matters most is love, and the rest is largely noise.” Lucinda Rosenfeld writes about the resurgence of her multiple sclerosis.

Not just domestic abuse but out and out rape

ICE officer said his injuries were 'nothing major' after deadly shooting near Chicago, video shows The immigration agent’s partner said he suffered a “knee injury" and "some lacerations to his hands,” according to police body camera footage obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times. But the feds reported h...

The gap between ICE’s story and Franklin Park body cam footage is alarming. A man is dead, shot and killed by federal agents—and the public deserves the truth. Just like at the Broadview detention center, we need answers, accountability, and transparency.

More like the 1850s.

Some of us distanced ourselves decades ago. It’s slightly laughable that Friedman only figured out that Israel is a rogue, apartheid state on Friday.
