This is horrible. Attacks on the humanities are another way to destroy our future. Now is when we need the humanities the most.
Arabic Studies, Holocaust Studies, Russian, Eastern European & Eurasian Studies, Religion, & more—decimating the humanities destroys our ability to understand the world, act in it, and envision a future. Blue states are complicit in this destruction of scholarship and teaching

"In den 1980er-Jahren war Israel am Aufbau der militant-islamistischen Hamas beteiligt, um ein Gegengewicht zur säkularen und damals dominanten PLO aufzubauen. Später half Netanjahu bei der finanziellen Unterstützung der Hamas."

I mean, to answer this jackass' question, Japan has more than 200 million fewer people than the US. So they literally can't buy as many cars or whatever from us as we can from them. This is really not that hard.

President Trump says he's thinking of getting rid of the country's disaster response agency, FEMA. States say they can't replicate what FEMA does on their own.

Excellent thread.
I struggle to express just how *weird* Vance’s #MSC2025 speech was. This is a transatlantic security conference, happening while there is a war in Europe, and the US is announcing a partial withdrawal from European security. And the US VP speaks about (alleged) threats to free speech in Europe??
