As attacks mount on #universities, the survival of free speech and academic freedom hangs in the balance. For universities, the response should be obvious: no more buckling under repressive pressures from narrow-minded autocrats. My piece in The Guardian

@JLucroy20 You know what else doesn't show leadership Luc. Breaking your hand and blaming your wife for "dropping a suitcase" on it. No one ever believed you. Maybe just stop commenting about our team. Stick with the rah-rah flag-waving.

@ByRyanWood Were you able to read the police report, Ryan? Seems crucial here...

It’s too late, David. I followed your work in the late 1990s an early 2000s, and I teach your failed lessons. Today, you are not reading the room. These arguments no longer work after what people have witnessed constantly for the past two+ years. No one with a shred of decency cares about your equating of antisemitism with anti-Zionism. It’s like equating anti-Nazism with some sort of bigotry. Both must be opposed for humanity to move forward— and certainly for the United States to do the same. Fortunately, even in the United States, the latecomer, this is happening broadly, increasingly, and inexorably. Hence the desperate attempts (articles, SM Hasbara, media acquisitions, corrupt law-fare etc.) which will actually prove the point and deepen anti-Zionism. Keep at it. Good day.

absolutely losing my mind that you have hundreds of international citizens who were been abducted, abused, some raped and tortured by Israel and… crickets in our news media. We are beyond “complicity” and ‘giving Israel impunity’ - its complete acquiescence and surrender.

@Jack_dec2 @40kmillionaire @AdamMcCalvy Please don't feed the trolls!

[Sandy Tolan @Sandy_Tolan]

@blazeorangeok @AdamMcCalvy how about Eddys Leonard?

[Sandy Tolan @Sandy_Tolan]

@MatthewMKE98 Definitely LF is his position and he seems to grade out well there. No reason he can't play there. DH and LF. 1B/3B not options at this point.

[Sandy Tolan @Sandy_Tolan]

@mjforer @Chanberries @ByJackStern @smichaelis234 And Jack is right - it's likely the test is coming. If GM can adjust to high FBs and start hitting more of them, he will be a keeper. If not, it'll be like the old Danny Walton plunge, '70 Brewers. He hit FBs, but couldn't handle breaking stuff. 16 hrs first half. One in the 2nd

[Sandy Tolan @Sandy_Tolan]

@Chanberries @ByJackStern @smichaelis234 Jack is a damn good analyst and IIRC he has been saying this for a while. More likely that BA got the idea from Jack!

“With everything we do, we are undercutting the laws of war,” says former NSC official Gary Sick. At 91, he reflects, “I would never have believed that we would find ourselves in the position that we’re in, as the rogue nation in the world.”

[Aaron Regunberg @AaronRegunberg]

I can’t describe how dispiriting it is to have this sociopath who just learned about Judaism declare that those of us who’ve lived this tradition our entire lives are not real Jews because we interpret our history to mean we should oppose oppression rather than embrace it.

[Maria Dubovikova @politblogme]

One of the most heartbreaking examples of nonverbal communication to emerge from Iran.
I cannot call this a mere propaganda piece. It is the unbearable truth, laid bare through the profound art of cinematography and animation.

My latest in @nytimes is about how President Trump came to align himself with a foreign terrorist organization in Honduras. Buckle up for this. https://t.co/agmdxJLZPp

@daily_braves @JonHeyman I'm a Crew fan, but please don't feel bad for us. Brewers MLB Org of Year per BA, exec of year 2 yrs straight. They trade off stars with a year left and improve the team. It all depends on someone overpaying. If that happens, we understand the front office moves.
