Amazing lecture by Akhil Amar at @Yale reunion. Only a few balcony seats remain. Topic: “Constitutional Issues in the Age if Trump.”
Hey @jbf1755, Amar just name-checked you. Sorry I missed your lecture yesterday
Erudite and entertaining discussion of how Reconstruction amendments recast the Bill of Rights. Also “This is America. You have a right to have a dog. It doesn’t say that in the Constitution. The day they come for my dog is the day I buy a gun.”
He recommended we read the 1917 short story “A Jury of her Peers” by Susan Glaspell.
Explains that electoral college was about slavery, not about big v. small states.

💥 Bam! Did I just break the code? Time is ACTUALLY on our side.

The excuse the media has given to not covering Donald’s disgraces and felonies is that it’s old news. He brazened through. That’s what the Biden-Harris team needs to do. Hold the line.

1/
The breathless endless stories will actually end. They will stop asking if he is going to drop out. And then we can move on. We can UNITE AGAINST DONALD TRUMP.

2/
Okay. Okay. I can hear the responses of those who are concerned that Biden cannot win. Your fears speak louder than the historical record and the polling data.

Expert Heather Cox Richardson made this clear

🚨 BREAKING! A jury found Donald Trump on 34 felony counts five weeks ago and neither the @nytimes nor the @washingtonpost editorial boards have called on him to drop out of the presidential race.

1/
🚨 BREAKING! It’s been 3 1/2 years since Donald incited a violent crowd to attack the Capitol to prevent the official declaration of Biden-Harris the winners of the 2020 election and NONE of the national news outlets have called on him to drop out

🚨 BREAKING! It’s been over a year since a jury found Donald Trump sexually assaulted E. Jean Carrol and NONE of the national news outlets have called on him to drop out of this presidential race

Everything we do every day is helping reelect Donald Trump. Everything. All of us. We are all to blame. The numbers don’t care about our feelings, our “better”education, our moral superiority, our nuanced analysis. He is in line to win.

“Donald Trump thinks he’s identified a crucial mistake of his first term: He was too nice” — @EricCortellessa @TIME

@EricCortellessa @TIME “What emerged in two interviews with Trump, and conversations with more than a dozen of his closest advisers and confidants, were the outlines of an imperial presidency that would reshape America and its role in the world.”

Jerusalem March 1978. Shortly after the Coast Road massacre by the PLO. The purpose of the attack killing 38 civilians, including 13 children was to derail the peace talks between Egypt's Anwar Sadat and Israel's Menachem Begin.

1/
Several months later, in October 1978 the Sadat and Begin received the Nobel Peace Prize. And in 1979 the two nations (Egypt and Israel) entered into a peace treaty.

2/ Image
As a result, in 1979, the Arab League kicked out Egypt.

Beautiful statement from @Harvard President Claudine Gay on "Combating Antisemitism."

harvard.edu/president/news…
"Finally, I have heard concerns from some about how this important work relating to antisemitism will bear on Harvard’s vital commitment to free expression. Combating antisemitism and fostering free expression are mutually consistent goals."

"We are at our strongest when we commit to open inquiry and freedom of expression as foundational values of our academic community."
