Hochul’s move here is profoundly racist and dehumanizing. Defining Palestinian studies as fundamentally antisemitic means defining Palestinians as something to be erased. It is genocidal.

This is also an unacceptable attack on academic freedom. The governor should have no say in faculty hiring.
A new McCarthy era is upon us. Stupid, depressing, and dangerous as ever. I wonder whose name will carry the dunce cap in the history books. Too many are complicit. I’ll need to find upset and action, but for now I’m feeling grief at the dehumanization inherent to all this.

Love is an act of rebellion against the passage of time. Read about one of my favorite movies, A Little Romance, here:

Pakula is as much aware of the problem of square conventions as Altman, but, unlike Altman, who throws out as many as he can, Pakula compromises by trying to soft-pedal them. (1971)
