My challenge to the New York Times is to say this over and over again on the front page of their newspaper and point out that it is also an authoritarian attack on the free press.

I wrote a column responding to Ezra Klein’s eulogy for Charlie Kirk, and argued that democracy depends not just on civil disagreement, but on the civic equality that Kirk passionately opposed.

New, from me:
It was a terrible week, one that inspired some truly awful takes. The worst was the effort by Bari Weiss and The Free Press to smear universities as "the biggest culprits" to blame American political violence, with faculty training "jihadis."

Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence.

Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets.

Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe.

It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

Multilateralism is not necessarily fading! There is still civilian support for it in different parts of the world. Using two sets of independent conjoint experiments, we show that civilians in Liberia prefer multilateral actors (the UN) to oversee (not rebuild) security sector reforms

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law.

May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

“Transactional agreements.” Sure @NYTimes. If someone says they’ll smash your kneecaps, unless you give them money, we can call that a transaction agreement as well. Or you could use the easier word: extortion, or more colloquially, a shakedown . www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

1/ I worked at DoD. I literally cannot imagine lawyers coming up with a legal basis for lethal strike of suspected Venezuelan drug boat.

Hard to see how this would not be "murder" or war crime under international law that DoD considers applicable.

A1 above the fold in the @nytimes.com. The message is getting through. Keep pushing everyone. We can save the #CDC, save the #NIH from the clutches of #RussellVought #StephenMiller and #DonaldTrump. Keep the pressure up on your members of Congress and the media (letters to editors, op-eds).
A photograph of the front page of The New York Times dated September 2, 2025. The main headline reads: “In Blitz on Science, Experts Warn of an Autocratic Tilt.” Below it are two featured articles. The first, by Apoorva Mandavilli, is titled “C.D.C. Left Battling for Its Survival” and describes turmoil at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention since Robert F. Kennedy Jr. became health secretary, leading to staff losses, leadership resignations, and questions about the agency’s legitimacy. The second article, by William J. Broad, is titled “Are Research Cuts Fighting Red Tape or Free Inquiry?” and discusses threats to science and research under political pressure.

"IU was a gem in Indiana. The state legislature and the IU Board of Trustees appear to have hired Whitten to fulfill an ultraconservative and Christian nationalist agenda... Sadly, they are destroying all that made IU great in the process."

Scathing but spot-on.
