It’s really the opposite, if you only get one side of the history (and many of us do) it is completely shocking to realize much of what you “know” isn’t true or isn’t the whole story, and many young jews feel a sense of betrayal over that bsky.app/profile/prem...
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

i like dunkelman’s book as well but this argument really ought to grapple with the fact that trump’s agenda is mired in lawsuits and even the signature parts of it, the deportations, fall far short of the president’s ambitions
There is such a thirst in some progressive centrist circles that they will look at the Trump administration as a model to get things done. I think its worth addressing the argument. This is from Mark Dunkelman, author of the widely praised "Why Nothing Works."

It's the opposite of "the buck stops here". He is selling out Admiral Bradley and sending chills down the spines of his chain of command, who now know their boss will sell them out if he is taking heat. A case study in how not to lead.

The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the professionalism and dignity of the United States military.
They’re an insult to every American who ever sacrificed to do the right thing.

Alex Horton, one of the two Washington Post reporters who broke the story, has been a participant in more violent combat than Pete Hegseth by an order of magnitude.
It's not a coincidence that he got the scoop.

Q: So you didn't see any survivors after that first strike?
HEGSETH: I did not personally see survivors. The thing was on fire. This is called the fog of war. This is what you in the press don't understand. You sit in your air conditioned offices and plant fake stories in the Washington Post

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

A college student complaining about a grade on a paper is not national news. Not even close. The details have minimal import outside the class itself.
Well-funded political activists targeting profs and TAs—in this case because they're trans—with the help of elected state officials? National issue.

this!!! was just having this convo with my friend who is also a WOC faculty member. our prompts/rubrics are so explicit and detailed
Some people don't understand that assignment guidelines and rubrics have increasingly become defensive documents for faculty, particularly faculty from marginalized groups, in the last decade.
I'm not talking about grade justification. I'm talking about protecting yourself from shitty students.
