This @nytimes article irked me. It equates #Palestinian protest with campus protest, which always wither. Why not visit neighborhoods that rallied to the cause? www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

Astonishing that this #NYstate AG report on #Cuomo as governor is rarely discussed. As with all political scandals, the problem lies not just in allegations, but the willingness to investigate, address by staff. ag.ny.gov/sites/defaul...

Cuomo Super PAC Got $2.7 Million From Donors With Business Before the City
The contributions, which are legal, effectively run around strict limits on what entities on the “doing business” list can give to his formal campaign.

When citizens accept the revoked rights of “others”—minorities, “radicals,” migrants, outcasts— know that citizens will eventually be targeted.
If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

It seems #MahmoudKhalil has been arrested not on a public order warrant but for speech that somehow supports a terrorist organization. What is the case law that defines such support? Might his arrest encourage the DOJ to prosecute a new realm of odious or unpopular political views?

We would be a lot less scared of TikTok if we had control of our social media algorithms the way we do here on Bluesky.
