For a year or more, it was mandatory in vast swaths of the online left, right, and center, to get this story aggressively wrong. chronicle.com/article/Colleg…
(The above tweet should have had either one more or one fewer commas. Oh well.)
If you missed the story the first time around, here's a more or less contemporaneous thread from me about why the students were right and their critics were jerks.

Or New York City, or New Jersey, or Washington State, or Colorado, or Texas, or...
Lots of statewide elections today. Lots of statewide referenda in places that don't have statewide elections. Lots of local elections and referenda in places where there's nothing going on statewide. Get out and vote.
Check out @Taniel for the highlights, and google "whereilive election 2019" for everything else.

Counterpoint: Anyone who argues that the president is engaged in the unification of the American people is engaging in the glorification of the president.
The presidency is a political office, and politics is about building coalition, not consensus.
And yes, as some have responded, the president has ceremonial, head-of-state responsibilities as well. But that’s not the heart of the job. Politics and policy are the heart of the job.

He’s putting Rudy on the ticket. You heard it here first.
(To be clear: this was a joke, grounded in the constitutional mandate that the president and vice president maintain residency in different states.)
(I assume the real reason is some combination of tax dodge, New Yorkers’ hatred of him, and wanting to monetize his post-presidential fame at Mar-a-Lago.)

hi! digitization/IR librarian/archivist types! how have you dealt with arbitrary take down "request" (more like order) that go against best practice from uni admin? as in something like "all existence must be erased from the IR because we say so" & the reason is... not copyright.
i am keeping this extremely vague in public b/c i don't want to be identified publicly for raising a fuss b/c i don't want to be out of a job but this is really messing with me because the decision is... it's not even a best practice thing, it's... morally and ethically wrong.
this is really messing with me. i'm not the only one here mad/upset but we have no recourse here or room to protest, it's coming directly from the uni's president.

Right-wing extremists were already on spy agencies' radars canberratimes.com.au/politics/feder… via @canberratimes
1) A reasonable analysis, to which I would add a few things. First, ASIO notes that: 'Individuals motivated by other ideologies [than Islamist extremists] – such as an extreme left or right-wing ideology – may consider conducting an act of terrorism.'
2) That's why a no of ppl in some way assoc w anTEEfa stuff in AUS have received visits in the past few years. Further, concern over left/right extremism is not brand-new; it was also noted in the agency's 2010--2011 report. See : slackbastard.anarchobase.com/?p=27201.

Another one of these rants--notice it's always tenured white men who are writing them. (Full disclosure: I am a tenured white man. Full prof, even). That's actually the key to understanding all of these pieces' fatal flaw (1/)
chronicle.com/article/Colleg….
Zimmerman--and others who write these coddled-snowflakes-threaten-my-free-speech pieces--uses the "slippery slope" argument, arguing that taking down Silent Sam, for example, is tantamount to historical erasure, like getting rid of "historical remnants".
3. But Zimmerman's already pulling a sleight-of-hand here. Silent Sam is not a "historical remnant." The statue of Davis at UT is not a "historical remnant." They are monuments, occupying prominent and privileged spaces at these institutions.

1. CA Jerry Brown’s Real Legacy
Remember when Gov. Brown said the world needs ‘brain washing’ on climate change. Sounding indeed brainwashed, Brown said, “The problem...is us. It’s our whole way of life. It’s our comfort... It’s the greed. It’s the indulgence. It’s the pattern.
2. And it’s the inertia.”

Brown screeched in 2015 that California has an overpopulation problem, & the ongoing drought was proof that the explosion of population in California has reached the limit of what the states’ resources can provide. “We are altering this planet w/this
3. incredible power of science, technology & economic advance,” Brown told the publisher of the Los Angeles Times. “If California is going to have 50 million people, they’re not going to live the same way the native people lived, much less the way people do today…. You have to
