Face-to-face with the Angel of History.

Looks like Jeffrey Goldberg snagged himself a real leading intellect for his pages.

I'm afraid the simplest explanation may be the correct one: Like Tony Blair, Hillary Clinton sees a path to remuneration through this particular Trump scam.

What a humiliation for The Atlantic: publishing Adam Louis-Klein 'as a leftist.'

The vote to divest the UAW from Israel Bonds was 321-287. That feels surprisingly contested given prevailing attitudes towards Israel and that bonds are obviously sold to finance government projects. Would love to know more from people in the know.

"If you ever thought Trump is capable of behaving strategically, let alone undertaking some 'civilizational' plan, you are far dumber than he is. And that’s all he needs to stay in business—bigger suckers."

“[Carlo] Ginzburg showed that non-intellectuals had an intellectual life — and demonstrated what that life was."

A fantastic essay-report on red state university civic centers by Ann Manov. Shockingly, they are dealing with the same problems and students as the "traditional" departments, just with more money. The curriculum is scarcely more rigorous, often less.

Appreciate the critically important work of the Nexus Project and honored they shared my piece. We will not succeed in fighting antisemitism if we neglect the struggle for democracy and a society in which all Americans belong.

A Congress that tolerates Islamophobia will never truly protect Jews. When elected officials demonize Muslims, traffic in conspiracy theories about religious minorities and treat pluralism as a threat, they’re attacking the foundation that keep us safe. More in the Forward by @abesilbe.bsky.social

As Jews and fierce defenders of a pluralistic society, we must stand up to this disgusting Islamophobia, especially when it comes from members of Congress. It's wrong to direct this toxic rhetoric toward any group. And we also know that hateful speech toward one makes for a hateful society for all.
