So the so-called intellectuals who spent the last 8 years writing "Has DEI gone too far?" columns were all sleeping with each other or sexually harassing or assaulting junior colleagues?

I cannot overemphasize that Marjorie Taylor Greene, Carlson, and Fuentes see a 2028 path to victory that involves building an isolationist populist coalition that traffics heavily in antisemitism and exploits existing negative sentiment against Israel.

In April 2009, the Washington Post asked 10 writers to make the case for something that deserves to be tossed out as part of "spring cleaning."

considering the current chairman of the NYT is potentially in this latest batch of Epstein emails, they are really not beating the allegations of having been institutionally compromised by billionaire pedophiles:
is this referring to the same Sulzberger who is the current chairman of the New York Times?
this would not be the first Epstein associate who was involved in the NYT either 😬

Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵

Journalism jobs seem to have been going to the people whose lives are so messy that they'll spend all day talking about other people.
Look yes it’s funny and I’ll read the rest but also my god get these people out of public life and give journalism jobs and money to people who could identify a moral compass when it hit them in the face

For non-academics who might not understand why:
1. Sen. Warren is still a Harvard professor so this is a call coming from inside the house
2. As a tenured law prof, Warren knows it is a VERY big deal from a labor standpoint to call on Harvard to ignore tenure. The bar for this is HIGH.

Per CNN, Elizabeth Warren is calling on Harvard to cut ties with Larry Summers after Jeffrey Epstein's emails released last week by House Dems featured Summers making sexist comments + asking for Epstein’s romantic advice.
