It is irksome to hear a reporter—of higher education, no less—repeatedly use the term “curriculums.”

The US Secretary of Defense texted classified information to a group that included an unknown number (i.e., Jeffrey Goldberg’s). Doing so was reckless, dangerous, and irresponsible, at best. How can anyone see it otherwise?!

We often use (or misuse) the term leader to describe people in positions of authority who, in fact, do not at all exercise leadership. For those who *are* leaders, it’s worth exploring what that looks like.

I saw the three emaciated Israeli Jews released from captivity — the ones that look like walking corpses. Where’s the outrage? Where are the humanitarian aid organizations that spring forth for everyone else? Where’s the International Rescue Committee, Red Cross, UN??!

In holding that anyone born in the U.S. is automatically a citizen, race was the central issue — asTrump and his advisers must know. This makes Trump’s order an act of performative racism that tells us what kind of U.S.-born Americans he wants to exclude.

I hope that history will be kinder to President Biden than his current approval ratings. Nevertheless, now that he’s delivered his farewell address, I’d love for him to resign so that Kamala Harris can be sworn in as President before Trump moves back in.
