The decision striking down the Stop WOKE Act “reflects a fundamental divide among conservatives on free speech,” writes @DavidCole_Gtown, some of whom “are only too happy to silence speech they disfavor.” https://t.co/Iuzw6hxguP

“What’s troubling isn’t that there are fashion exhibitions at the Met. What’s troubling is that there is reason to believe that the fashion industry has bought what amounts to prime real estate at the Met.” —Jed Perl https://t.co/hWYY4Syzpk

“If we want to think in any kind of consequential way about the present and the future, we have no choice but to take Musk seriously—if not as a man, then as a manifestation of a cultural-political malaise.” —@mrkocnnll https://t.co/y9dTwYWeOs

“Nadja belongs to the period of the [Surrealist] movement’s greatest energy and innovation, when it still thought of itself as actively pursuing two revolutions, artistic and political.” —Susan Rubin Suleiman https://t.co/YlcdQ3zkTM

“The response to a culture of intolerance by students and faculty, however, should not be official intolerance by the state. Yet that is exactly what Florida did.”

My take on decision declaring Stop WOKE Act unconstitutional.

“Nadja is a book of parts,” Susan Rubin Suleiman writes. “Introspective autobiography, political manifesto, treatise on aesthetics, walking tour of Paris, photo album, celebration of the irrational...and, yes, love story.” https://t.co/bFVhKfFi2O

“In Baghdad, the abiding mood is one of exhaustion, the public long ago having tired of war and obfuscation.” —Nabil Salih https://t.co/sDlopsiEBK

“Popular memory tends to separate the Holocaust and the German war against the Soviet Union, but for the Nazi regime they were two faces of the same undertaking.” —@bartov_omer https://t.co/6qzu5qqPCh

“Even if the Centennial Exhibition was more self-congratulatory than self-critical...it couldn’t really camouflage the demand for a nation more fair, more just, and more in line with the sentiments of 1776.” —Brenda Wineapple https://t.co/FDi4XzLdj3

[Nahid Siamdoust @nahid8]

“Over the past decades, as censorship has made it practically impossible for homegrown independent media to survive in [Iran], Persian-language satellite channels…have come to anchor their own insular information environment.” —Nahid Siamdoust https://t.co/mOy1LsrVBJ

“Writing was basically how I found my way out of [a] very narrow form of faith. I don’t know that I would have done that if I’d had an institutional subscription to ChatGPT, as many college students do today.” —an interview with Meghan O’Gieblyn https://t.co/krMhmAfHiE

In Altoon Sultan’s paintings of farm equipment, “objects look like they have not been used (she erases signs of wear and tear) and cannot be used (they are without workers, immobile, fragmentary). They are at once new and obsolete.” —Joe Bucciero https://t.co/Cb1iQL9Ph2

“We cannot say what would have happened had Hitler decided not to invade his erstwhile ally, but we can say that the war in the East and the increasing ferocity of the Holocaust were inextricably linked.” —@bartov_omer https://t.co/WfOTc2k52M

In Cuba, “schools have shuttered; surgeries have been postponed. Doctors have told interviewers that they are losing patients to preventable deaths.... These are the conditions to which Trump is deporting Cubans.” —Ada Ferrer and Miriam Pensack https://t.co/V0UKWqjhXC
