I live by Columbia. Tonight I went for a walk & saw 10+ blocks rapidly barricaded, dozens of police vehicles flying by, large groups of NYPD in riot gear gathering.
I study protest in E Europe. What I saw tonight was some of the most wildly disproportionate policing I've seen

The claim that Hamas is responsible not only for its own atrocities but also every atrocity committed by Israel has to be one the most disingenuous and morally bankrupt talking points of this whole horrific episode.

The Israeli government is saying very clearly that if it is up to them, they will never, ever allow a Palestinian state, which means de facto apartheid rule over half the population within its claimed borders in perpetuity. Doesn't matter how loudly they say it, we're incapable of hearing it here:

The first Palestinian person I ever met was my junior year in Germany. He was a medical student named Nimr living on the floor of my apartment building, and for weeks, he wouldn’t talk to me. At one point I asked him why he wouldn’t talk to me, and he said because I was American.

Not an Aquinas scholar, but find it highly dubious that Roman Catholicism's leading mind would not find legitimate authority in an international organization
There has always been tension between the national and the international.
Thomas Aquinas made it clear that legitimate authority belonged to the state rather than to an international organization.

Seems like a good time to remind people of Lila Abu-Lughod's article "Do Muslim Women Need Saving?" An important reminder that the Bush administration weaponized this notion of salvation at the beginning of the "War on Terror." jstor.org/stable/3567256

A panel discussion show on Australia's public broadcaster is discussing the #IPCC report today. They've invited a climate change denier but no climate science or solutions experts.
Doing this actively contributes to the problem. It isn't just misguided: it is dangerous. #qanda

"We all want to leave a better world for our children and grandchildren."
Is vandalism courageous @NickMcKim?
We all want to leave a better world for our children and grandchildren.
But is this the way to send your message by defacing Parliament House?

As the Australian bushfires continue to savage towns and ecosystems, take human lives and kill billions of animals, environmentalists say one of the world's worst climate offenders has become a grave example of its impacts. My piece for @dw_environment p.dw.com/p/3W02n?maca=en-Twi…

1/ This Op-Ed by Bret Stephens is intellectually flaccid, at best, and morally reprehensible, at worst.
It’s written as a superficial appeal to our “reason,” while, in fact, Stephens repeatedly argues that we behave in a fundamentally irrational manner. nyti.ms/2zngCL0

I overheard a young man on the train on the way home today, talking to another young man. Holding hands. In college, I guessed. About that age anyway. Much younger than I am.
