“I don’t know if we’ve ever seen a major media organization do such an about-face this fast. This is the paper of Watergate, multiple Pulitzers, the Access Hollywood tape—the thorn in Trump’s side—now completely flipped.” -- @karenattiah.bsky.social

Mmmmm. Let's all also mention people like @karenattiah.bsky.social -- the alternatives blooming here and there are encouraging. Things are bad. But there are things that are so amazing, it will inspire others and keep hope alive.

I’ve also heard instances of this at UVa: well-qualified faculty members who want to teach topics of great current interest and importance are being discouraged from doing so because it feels risky.
It’s truly a shame.

I was told not to teach a class on the intellectual histories of Zionism and Anti-Zionism next year - not because they doubted I could teach it fairly, but because it would attract too many politicians scrutinizing the syllabus.

A society where that is a valid fear is no longer fully democratic.

I had a scholarship for the first class. I was the oldest at 79. I am sharing what I learned with friends, family and senior groups. I lead natural history and historical walks in San Rafael CA I'm much better informed now. A walk for our Marin Asian Alliance was much deeper experience due to class.
