I will not be lectured by anyone who made light of the assassination attempt of Paul Pelosi or who has called those convicted of crimes for their participation in the events of January 6th a victim about taking the temperature down.

The reporting from @WKCRFM is stunning. Students journalist doing war zone-like reporting from their own campus. It’s a heartbreaking listen, but also inspiring because they are pros who are holding back no punches about the gravity of the moment.

I promise you it is not in your interest to support militarized police response to protest. That's not the only reason you should be horrified by what's happening at Columbia, but I promise you do not want this to be normal.

Might sound weird, but I think thousands of kids at elite universities from immense privilege risking their (earned or unearned) status for the lives of people they will never meet is breathtakingly beautiful

Imagine doing your taxes every day. That's what it's like to use government benefits. Our social safety net sucks.

The US national team woke up in minute 94, which makes them more relatable to me because that’s how long it takes me to wake up after my first alarm.

@JayElHarris When I was 8 my mom went out for a girls' night and my dad thought, let's watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail. One of the best things to ever happen to me. Still love that movie.

I'm glad both The Cut essays exist, but I feel like we're conflating them a bit too much when one is an essay about being really gullible with and the other is unflinchingly honest about self-delusion and the difficulty of marriage.

Life is always changing, and we often don't notice. But you wake up one day and realize your daughter no longer needs your help turning the pages. Or that you've lost your cycling legs. Those changes are incremental, but violence can change your life in an instant.
