If Netanyahu died would anyone who attended his funeral be deported? Of course not. A lot of MAGAs would attend. Netanyahu has committed war crimes. But in the black and white MAGA world, he's the good guy.

A group of people embracing the term “antifa” was one of the stupidest self-owns of the past decade
Blame American education for not teaching all the nuances between "Authoritarian " and "Fascist"? When Trump decried "antifa" it was very telling to me - once I learned what it meant. only a fascist would want to suppress Anti-fascists!

Universities are in an impossible position: defend core values OR comply with the new policies. It's really important for university presidents to acknowledge that impossibility & get out, collectively, & speak out against what is an existential crisis. Pretending otherwise like this is not helpful.

Kinzinger: So my reaction to him is like, you know what? Then bring it. Stop talking about it. Bring the charges then if you really want to do it. Because we will crush you in court. And it'll make me three times more effective against you.
