Thanks to @JamesCantorPhD and Amy Tishelman for a very civil and interesting discussion. Also thanks to the @MIT students, especially those who initially thought this event should not take place, but who came anyway.

Eloquent essay by @SiddhuPachipala , an MIT Civil Discourse @MITCDP fellow. "A protest that persuades presupposes ... that those people marching over there are not unlike me, that they may be owed a hearing." bostonglobe.com/2026/01/22/o… via @BostonGlobe

Liberals have to reckon with the limits of protests - The Boston Globe

Mass demonstrations can be worthwhile. But they also may be substituting for more useful forms of political participation.
