Maybe their pro-Palestinian Jewish peers are the ones who feel isolated, ever think of that? Image
Which type of Jew is more likely to get in actual trouble with law enforcement, with university administrators, with future employers? Which type of Jew can count on 99% of Jewish institutions to validate and encourage their anxieties right now?
I get it, it's hard being told every day that the ongoing war crime you openly support is an ongoing war crime. I get how hard that must be for Harvard students who support an ongoing war crime.

You'd think it'd be possible to argue

-NATO expansion has been disastrous provocation
-US must pursue diplomacy, avoid escalation
-Russia has legit security concerns re Ukraine

without claiming that Ukraine isn't a real country and/or is populated exclusively by Nazis. And yet
Relatedly, it would be nice if we could understand "sphere of influence" to mean a cold, de facto reality and not something that morally or legally exists (or, OTOH, doesn't exist at all). Ukraine is in Russia's SOI bc Russia can exercise its will there, not bc that's good.
My position on this conflict has been the same since 2014: Russia is the aggressor and what it's doing to Ukraine is terribly unfair, and also there's very little the US can do about it and a lot the US has done in the past to help get us here.

As a frequent TNR contributor, and as a friend to, and admirer of, the incredibly talented staff Chris Lehmann has put together over the past few years, I find this news deeply unsettling. The team deserves better; so do TNR readers. defector.com/incoming-tnr-e…
There's something egregious about how they're approaching this. By all means, open a DC bureau; move primary editorial operations there, sure. Cover Congress more. But to throw away a great team with a smart and humane editorial vision is an awful, totally unforced error.
Obviously I'm biased but the Lehmann-era TNR is one of the best publications we've had over the past few years and I don't think this is getting as much attention as it should.

A persistent trope on the right, dating back at least to Norman Podhoretz's "Making It," is that there's an honorable way to be rich (being openly selfish, posing as a hard-working striver) and a dishonorable way (having a social conscience, acknowledging your own privilege).
Right-wing populism means pretending to hold the rich in contempt while actually holding rich liberals in contempt, considering it impolite to bring up the wealth and elite educations of anyone on the right, and rejecting the treatment of wealth inequality as a systemic problem
Basically: if you want to send your kid to Dalton and Harvard and you are unwoke, you're noble and unobjectionable, but if you want to send your kid to Dalton and Harvard and you are woke, you're a spoiled rich monster

It’s unforgivable that we didn’t just suspend rents, commercial as well as residential, for the duration of this. It did and continues to do irreparable damage to communities and livelihoods when we could have just printed money to bail out the landlords. nytimes.com/2021/03/10/nyr…
I’ve been going to Jing Fong since 2005 or so, and I genuinely believed it would always be there. It would have been, absent this pandemic and the greedy, short-sighted, utterly heartless policy response to it.
One thing I didn’t know before this piece: it was the only unionized restaurant in Chinatown. It employed a ton of people!

Schumer's leftward drift ahead of his reelection campaign is a trend I've registered for a year or so now. It's a powerful vindication of the Bernie campaigns, of the many successful progressive local challenges in NY since 2018, and of Markey's win. nytimes.com/2021/02/07/us/…
I know it's fashionable in some quarters to sneer at the idea of "pulling the Democrats left," but it's actually working and we should keep doing what we've been doing.
The point here is emphatically not "Schumer is good now and we should be grateful." The point is that the incentives are shifting; this is bigger than what we think of individual politicians. Activist pressure (combined with seismic economic crises) produces results.

It's really gross to blame people who don't support your gimmicky political stunt for deaths that supporting your gimmicky political stunt would do absolutely nothing to prevent.
If I decline to hire someone to skywrite "M4A" over the National Mall, I don't have the blood of the uninsured on my hands, and it's demented to suggest otherwise.
This is particularly galling for those of us who have been championing M4A and accusing the existing healthcare system of killing people for profit for years. We understand why we need M4A. We also understand that the Squad is powerless to bring it into being at the moment.
