Bari Weiss got famous for trying to get her professors fired over their being pro-Palestinian as an undergrad at Columbia.
Anything she says about being for academic freedom on campus or against cancel culture is risible. She is just angry that cancel culture wasn't working for her.

Got to hand it to Bari Weiss, who is a sub-mediocre writer and totally off-the-rack thinker but an absolutely elite teacher's pet and true-blue snitch. You can make a good career even in a dying industry that way, provided you don't somehow develop a conscience.
The president of Columbia agreed to Trump's demands to purge all academic freedom re Palestine but then privately said she'd slow walk them, which immediately leaked to Bari Weiss's outlet, so then the board purged her too

If you empower people who are cruel and abusive to defeat people who are cruel and abusive, you end up with more of the same. The idea that defending yourself and resorting to violence if necessary makes you an equal or greater aggressor is one of the pillars of victim-blaming

the thing about internet access becoming decently idiot-proof means that previously-niche, organized online communities are now overrun with your aunt barbara who refuses to learn the lingo or read the room and expects everyone to change up to cater to THEM, and nobody bounces their ass to the curb.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).
