Today @caitlinmoriah.bsky.social and @trentrichardnelson.bsky.social talk with @jeffwaldorf.bsky.social about the conflicting, nonsensical, and sometimes straight-up Orwellian justifications provided by US politicians for initiating a war of aggression against another country in the Middle East.

happy whatever the fuck this shit is, to those who celebrate

given that everyone involved in this likely denies that it’s a genocide at all, i suppose they figure it’s moot

Steven Pinker & @sapinker • 6h Student protesters demanding that universities divest endowment holdings from companies that do business with Israel are demanding something illegal (and probably not consistent with the limited past divestments connected with S. Africa, Darfur, tobacco). New legal analysis by Max Schanzebach & Robert Sitkoff. @SSRN papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf...

umm actually it’s very likely against the law to stop financially supporting the military dropping bombs on schools and hospitals have u stopped to consider 🤓

Divesting University Endowments Northwestern Public Law Research Paper Harvard Public Law Working Paper European Corporate Governance Institute - Law Working Paper Forthcoming 84 Pages Posted: 3 Mar 2026 Max M. Schanzenbach Northwestern University - Pritzker School of Law Robert H. Sitkoff Harvard Law School; European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI) Date Written: February 27, 2026 Abstract The brutal conflict between Hamas and Israel convulsed higher education. Student protestors have demanded that university endowments "divest" from Israel. University leaders have largely resisted those demands on grounds of fiduciary obligation, institutional neutrality, or both. In response, protestors have pointed to prior instances of purported divestment. Confusion abounds over the applicable fiduciary principles and the scope of prior divestments. This paper synthesizes the law and finance of endowment divestment and applies that analysis to past divestments and present divestment demands.

We show that under prevailing law endowment divestment for nonfinancial reasons is permissible only if: (1) the divestment is consistent with the university's charitable purpose of research and education, and (2) the divestment's effect on the portfolio is reasonable in light of that purpose. Applied to the current state of university endowment management, this is a highly restrictive standard. The charitable purpose of most secular universities is research and education, full stop. Moreover, contemporary endowment practice relies on external managers, making a divestment today more costly to implement than in the past. Under current endowment practice, therefore, even a de minimis divestment, whether from Israel or otherwise, would likely be a fiduciary breach, potentially exposing university trustees to out-of-pocket damages for any resulting loss to the endowment. We also examine current divestment policies and purported prior divestments, including South Africa under apartheid, tobacco, the Darfur war, and fossil fuels. Consistent with our legal analysis, but contrary to conventional wisdom, we find that universities have generally not engaged in broad divestments, not even from South Africa under apartheid. Instead, most large university endowments adhere to a narrow divestment policy for "moral abhorrence" that has rarely been invoked. We show that a divestment for moral abhorrence could pass fiduciary muster as consistent with the public benefit principle of charity law if supported by a clear public policy established by confirmatory governmental actions.

now im no big city lawyer but this strikes me as very silly

divesting from israel violates institutional neutrality but investing doesn’t? divesting for ethical reasons is only okay if we wouldn’t lose too much money?

Love this thing pundits do where they pretend not to understand why students might protest Israel (a country that their school may actively be funding and therefore the protests are about trying to get their school to take action) and not Iran (a country that their school has nothing to do with).

The Department of Education has hung a massive banner honoring a racist college dropout who built a lucrative career out of targeting professors for harassment

a rectangular cake frosted blue with a corner that’s got Graham cracker crumbs as a Sandy island in the top right corner, some plastic figurines of Ariel, Moana and Maui, ocean themed candles and the text HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUG piped in pink. It’s clear the word BUG was added afterward to obscure the actual name written there

at no point was i confident this cake would turn out but LOOK AT IT I’m a genius

The reality here is that universities would love to hire visible and capable conservative scholars. That they have to create separate centers, and then hire people who would never make it in an open search, underlines the fact that its not anti-conservative bias, its a lack of strong candidates.

i mean you can’t possibly expect the author of the coddling of the american mind to think about why statistics might look the way they do! he’s too busy protecting free speech and encouraging reasoned debate on complex and difficult topics!!

one way you can tell a free speech hero guy is actually just a reactionary shithead who wouldn’t know how to resist fascism if his own mother wrote a book called How To Resist Fascism and read it to him at bedtime every night, is if they use their free speech hero brand to argue for rank bigotry

Greg Lukianoff Follow @glukianoff Both the left and the right, in different ways, argue we should still have taboos as an informal check on speech-as long as we don't impose many legal or formal restrictions. But taboos often form around the very things we most need to talk about. There was a time when society didn't talk about rape, and it let rapists get away with heinous crimes. That time has returned in the UK. Speech should be protected because it lets us talk about what matters most. Taboo keeps us from using that right when it matters most. (quoting) sucks & @powerbottomdad1. 4h The Rape of England The amount of rape in England has quadrupled in about 10 years. Now the highest in the western world, about 100 times worse per 100,000 peopl. Show more

The embedded post @powerbottomdad1 • 4h The Rape of England The amount of rape in England has quadrupled in about 10 years.

(Graph) @powerbottomdad1 quotes his own post from January 2025: must be so hard being immigrant rapist. you spend your days peacefully raping in the mountains of pakistan, and then you come to USA and they say you can't rape. like???

greg lukianoff from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, trying to do his usual both-sides free speech grift, is retweeting a full on white nationalist “rape of england” post to support his point. extremely normal!!
