Notable that the NYT amid their voluminous coverage of Tuesday’s primaries doesn’t appear to have published more than a few sentences about Chris Rabb’s blowout left-wing socialist victory in the most Democratic congressional district in the nation and what that might mean.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Death is always lurking. We see it in violence, in the wounds of the world, in the cry of pain that rises from every corner because of the abuses that crush the weakest among us, because of the idolatry of profit that plunders the earth’s resources, because of the violence of war that kills and destroys. #Easter

For @thenation I wrote about antisemitism smears against @hasanthehun, an attempt to protect both Israel and Dem establishment from legitimate criticism. The fake antisemitism outrage machine, however, no longer shuts up the left—it empowers the far right https://t.co/2MmJKUfege

@AAUP_UChicago @daraghjgrant I really wish this argument could be made without reference to the Kalven report. It is now being weaponized to justify campus censorship left and right.

[Daniel Denvir @DanielDenvir]

Joe Biden and every single liberal politician or media figure who demonized anti-genocide protesters as anti-semitic extremists, who called for or engineered mass repression of the campus encampments, is deeply complicit in Trump’s repression today. Absolutely shameful.

@_waterman @thesaramarcus @kwamicoleman @Ryan_Lonewolf @eisenbergsounds @Roulette_NYC It would be great to see you Bryan!

[Doug Henwood @DougHenwood]

Adolph Reed said like 20 years ago that the Reps were evolving into a Christofascist party (not his term, but his meaning) and the Dems were evolving into old-style Reps. Prescient.

[Michael Gallope @michaelgallope]

@thesaramarcus @_waterman @kwamicoleman @Ryan_Lonewolf @eisenbergsounds @Roulette_NYC Yes! All ages!

[Sara Marcus @thesaramarcus]

NYC folks! I am coming to town for THIS GREAT BOOK LAUNCH for @michaelgallope which will feature talking and playing by Benjamin Piekut, @kwamicoleman, @Ryan_Lonewolf, @eisenbergsounds, and me. Would be lovely to see you at Roulette on Thursday. https://t.co/jOQHU04d8Q

[Daniel Denvir @DanielDenvir]

Biden is set to go down in history as the president who not only presided over a genocide but who allowed Israel to drag the US into a giant regional war. And he could stop it all with a phone call.

What a disgraceful day @Uchicago. To attack your student like a literal thief in the night. So craven, so pathetic, so in-the-pocket of preening donors. So antithetical to principles of free and open discussion, so hostile to pedagogy. Admin should be ashamed of themselves.

[JPMS @JPMS_Pop]

A short thread about yesterday’s discussion of the Kalven Report @uchicago3ct.

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

It’s been 100 days since I signed on to the ceasefire resolution. In that time more than 25,000 thousand Palestinians have been killed by Israeli soldiers.

I will continue to call for a ceasefire until there is an end to the atrocities and lasting peace. I urge my colleagues to do the same.

[Eman Abdelhadi @emanabdelhadi]

At the University of Chicago, we’ve formed a Faculty for Justice in Palestine. What a joy it’s been to find comrades among my colleagues.
