Similar to the reporting on Western NC not getting aid this would’ve been a national scandal for weeks on end if it were happening under the other party.

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

It is quite honestly breathtaking what a complete and utter fail Columbia’s total submission to Trump has been, for the university and academia at large.
They’re now the poster child for fascist takeover of academia and they have no easy way to back out and retroactively take a stand.
Pathetic.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.
