[Ezra Klein @ezraklein]

In the last few years we've seen:

- The plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer
- The Storming of the Capitol and pipe bombs left at the RNC and DNC
- The break-in to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and the brutal on Paul Pelosi
- Multiple assassination attempts against Trump
- The assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the shooting of on State Senator John Hoffman and his wife
- Luigi Mangione's assassination of Brian Thompson
- The assassination of Charlie Kirk

Political violence is contagious. It is spreading. It is not confined to one side or belief system. It should terrify us all.

The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in it without fear of violence. Political violence is always an attack against us all. You have to be so blind not to see that.

[Oregon State out of context @NoContextOState]

In the past 6 years, Oregon State has
A CWS championship
2 #1 MLB draft picks
A 10 win football season
Elite eight appearance in MBB and WBB
College Cup appearance in Men’s Soccer
2x Olympic Gold Medalist gymnast

And we aren’t deserving of a power conference? Give me a break.

I continue to believe we are underreacting to this political moment.

[Aviva Klompas @AvivaKlompas]

US Secretary of State Blinken: "What is striking to me is that even as we hear many countries urging an end to this conflict, I hear virtually no one demanding of Hamas that it stop hiding behind civilians, that it lay down its arms, that it surrender. This is over tomorrow if Hamas does that.

How can it be that there are no demands made of the aggressor, and only demands made of the victim. It would be good if there was a strong international voice pressing Hamas to do what is necessary to end this."

[Shai Davidai @ShaiDavidai]

Many people are wondering about what’s happening on U.S. campuses.

While I can’t speak about all other college campuses, I can definitely give you an insider’s view about @Columbia University.

[John Spencer @SpencerGuard]

I just watched the roughly 45-minute footage of October 7th at a private screening in NYC. Here are my immediate thoughts minutes after watching it. 🧵

[Alex גדעון בן װעלװל @JewishWonk]

A "Jewish and Israeli owned falafel restaurant" in Philadelphia cannot do a single thing about Israel's military campaign against Hamas.

What you're looking at is people normalizing antisemitic incitement against their Jewish neighbors.

[David Frum @davidfrum]

An antisemitic mob has descended on Michael Solomonov's falafel restaurant in Philadelphia. They demand a boycott of Jewish goods. Michael Solomonov is a James Beard Award-winning chef. He makes some of the best hummus outside Israel, as well as outstanding lamb and other dishes. It all ships via Goldbelly. If you want to send a message of your own to the boycotters, you can do so here. https://t.co/hJHP1t3yoY

[Sara Eisen @SaraEisen]

I grew up with horrifying holocaust stories from my grandfather, one of the few who survived Auschwitz.
Men, women and children murdered for being Jewish.

To my colleagues in the media: call it what it is. Terrorism, conducted by a (designated) terrorist organization. Murder and torture of Jews. There is no justification. No context that explains these atrocities.

[Sahil from Wander @SVMansuri]

As a Muslim CEO in tech, let me just say this:

Hamas is an evil terrorist organization that needs to be wiped off the face of the Earth.

Murdering innocent civilians (children, babies, families asleep in their homes) goes against every single teaching of the Qur'an.

May they all rot in Hell.

I pray for peace and innocent lives to be spared as Israel completes this task. But complete it, I hope they do.

[Ryan Mann @RyanMichaelMann]

@espn charged me for ESPN+ w/o notice, likely violating Oregon’s Automatic Renewal Law and the Unlawful Trade Practices Act. I’ve been on hold for 90+ minutes w/ your call center, whose staff is clearly trained to delay. There is an easy solution here & we can avoid legal action.

[DickHughes @DickHughes]

Salem and Marion County fire agencies have now banned #fireworks today due to Red Flag warning. Professional fireworks displays still allowed. #IndependenceDay #FourthofJuly2023 #SalemOR #DontBurnUpOregon

“What you’re telling me is that you don’t mind infringing on free speech to protect children from [drag shows] but when it comes to kids who have died from guns, you don’t give a flying f.”
