NYT text: "Mr. Obama is the liberal law professor who campaigned against the Iraq war and torture, and then insisted on approving every new name on an expanding “kill list,” poring over terrorist suspects’ biographies on what one official calls the macabre “baseball cards” of an unconventional war. When a rare opportunity for a drone strike at a top terrorist arises — but his family is with him — it is the president who has reserved to himself the final moral calculation.

“He is determined that he will make these decisions about how far and wide these operations will go,” said Thomas E. Donilon, his national security adviser. “His view is that he’s responsible for the position of the United States in the world.” He added, “He’s determined to keep the tether pretty short.”

NYT 1922 on Hitler:

Quote: "But several reliable, well-informed sources confirmed the idea that Hitler’s anti-Semitism was not so genuine or violent as it sounded, and that he was merely using anti-Semitic propaganda as a bait to catch masses of followers"

Activism/academia: Not sure continuing to issue public statements, as if political conditions haven't shifted, is a great idea. US leftists have something to learn from activists operating in authoritarian and other openly violent spaces. (Photo: Eject resistance symbol. Artist: Asim Butt

As I posted the Nadera Shaloub-Kevorkian article yesterday, this is a response worth paying attention to:

Tweet that says "im having a really hard time reading this about our people enduring genocide in the present. its very umcomfortable and unsettling. i am not taking questions. and this is not a subtweet. there is a real horror that comes from reading theorization around children in plastic bags."

"The function..of racism is distraction. It keeps u from doing your work. It keeps u explaining..Somebody says u have no language & u spend 20 yrs proving that u do...Somebody says u have no kingdoms, so u dredge that up. None of this is necessary. There will always be one more thing” -Toni Morrison

The US-influenced ouster in Pakistan that keeps on giving, from weapons to Ukraine to normalizing the brutalization + occupation of Palestine and Palestinians.

Journalist Murtaza Hussain quote: "Pakistani government statement on attacks outside Gaza notably neutral in tone. This comes in wake of suggestions that present Pakistani government might be preparing to normalize relations with Israel in future following Saudi Arabia:"

I received this email from the Chronicle today abt Afghan students *fleeing the US war.* The email is titled: "From Warzone to American Dream." I don't know what kind of cognitive dissonance is necessary for this heading.
