This is live. Bottom line: in certain respects, the MOU is *worse* than the JCPOA.

Indiana University trustees vote Friday on adopting the Chicago Principles on Freedom of Expression.

A good move for the worst ranked public university in FIRE’s College Free Speech Rankings. If adopted, the test is whether IU follows these principles when push comes to shove.

@rclu @LawLiberty Thanks, Rachel!

My friend and @LawLiberty colleague @MaxProwant on why the Iranian government hasn't fallen and, unfortunately, may not anytime soon. I found this a helpful explainer.

@MaxProwant: "A particular blending of ideology and institutions give the mullahs an extra layer of protection against unrest."

In the wake of renewed unrest in Iran, Max J. Prowant (@MaxProwant) explores a central insight of political science: revolutions succeed only when ruling elites divide. The Islamic Republic’s durability, he suggests, lies in its unusual degree of elite cohesion and institutional control. https://t.co/oSnXusuYCZ

"Isn’t it amazing that the ideologies that we are encountering on the peripheral extremes of politics are socialism and anti-Semitism? ... It feels like we can’t seem to come up with new ideas. We’re stuck in the twentieth century." A recent interview for @LawLiberty

“Though there were not enough Jewish jokes to pass the entirety of the time in that car, there were plenty. Had I known he was funny before this? I don’t remember, to tell you the truth. I knew he was loving, because he was always loving. I remember him kissing me on the top of my head as I sat on his lap around the age of six and him saying, ruefully, that there would come a time I wouldn’t sit in his lap and I wouldn’t let him kiss me, and I said that would never happen, but of course it did. And of course, as he lay dying, it was I who held his hand and kissed his head because who could ever have deserved it more? This person the obituaries tell you was pugnacious and sardonic and had a boxer’s taste for pugilism was at heart a man of profound kindness and an almost endless generosity of spirit.”

Read the whole thing.

@rclu @LawLiberty Thanks Rachel!

The notion that “America is not an idea” is often a cheap talking point that ignores fundamental truths about what America is at its core. Yes, our land, our people, and our history make our nation— so does our founding principles and documents that are based on ideas that made America unique and exceptional... and continue to do so. It made signing the Declaration of Independence one of the most important events in the history of mankind.

Ignoring the ideas and principles that underpin the American Founding is a very dangerous road to travel.

America is MORE than an idea, to be sure, yet the ideas that formed our nation and continue to preserve it are an important part of our national identity and fabric that cannot be ignored.

Great piece from my colleague ⁦@rclu⁩ on today’s political violence. Today’s assassins less resemble members of IRA or Weather Underground; “they are alienated misfits, and everyone knows it.” Worth your time. https://t.co/AmFZTRL19h

This really is the picture of authoritarianism. A corrupt, paunchy leader forcing scared boys to fight his buddy’s war. They have a one-way ticket to a fight they didn’t ask for.

Sen @TomCottonAR understands what American leaders in the early Cold War knew well: our most significant threat is not necessarily the evil enemy, but our lack of resolve before it. @MaxProwant

MacIntyre was my teacher, and an important mentor at one time in my life. I’m very grateful for what he gave me.

He had some confusing and even maddening qualities though, and I reflect on that too in my tribute @LawLiberty:
