In January I wrote a piece about how October 7 changed America's free speech culture. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/… A lot of new events bearing on that subject have since happened. But what I wrote back then holds up so far.
A dispatch from @powellAtlantic with original on-scene reporting:
A dispatch from @powellAtlantic with original on-scene reporting:
When campus administrators should call police is an under-theorized question in academia, bc most faculty don't believe "never" is the answer, but are so averse to cops being called on students that they're loath to specify or even ponder the standard they do believe is optimal.
If you argue that Columbia ought to allow you the freedom to be on the quad, because protest rights are sacrosanct... then what does it say about you and your views about equality if you organize to prevent fellow students who disagree with you from moving about the quad?

To rephrase this a bit: if the premise of your whole worldview is that hate is the product of systemic and institutional forces fueling toxic bigotry and unconscious bias—and I'm not saying it should or shouldn't be, but if it is—then how do you account for campus antisemitism?

In response to “horrific” scenes of antisemitic harassment at and around campus, the Orthodox Rabbi at Columbia/Barnard sent a WhatsApp message to more than 290+ Jewish students this morning recommending that they go home until it’s safe again for them on campus:

If "disruption" is "the point" that seems like a powerful argument for opposing these protests since mere "disruption" achieves nothing of value for anyone.

Assuming this is correct there are still only good guys in this story. It's good to formulate plausible hypotheses about how to help the poor. It's good to rigorously test them. If they don't work, it's good to know so that, over time, we know more and more about what to do.

Similarly (though for different reasons) during the 1950s and early 60s there was specific reason to believe that raising the salience of civil rights would be helpful to the cause. slowboring.com/p/bayard-rusti…
This is one of the craziest videos I’ve ever seen. Harry Mack is incredible.
Long after certain anti-due process public shaming fads fade in popularity & potency, government and other institutions keeping ratcheting due-process protections downward. Innocent people will suffer from this. reason.com/2024/04/19/new…

As expected, the Biden administration is working tirelessly to eviscerate due process and free speech on college campuses. Read my colleague @emmma_camp_ on the latest Title IX news. It’s not good. reason.com/2024/04/19/new…

Update from @DavidAFrench bc I’m feeling sick but… here’s the good news!
Going in for a big appointment! Please pray!
@conor64 “Standard” is perhaps the wrong way to think about it. More realistically, we can imagine “scenarios” upon which we can find intersubjective agreement. These scenarios won’t be exhaustive of when police intervention is warranted but better to have them than to have zero guidance.
I'm not a property theorist, but I'm really interested in where the protesters get their sense that they have a right to exclude others from the space. This is, to use the law review cliche, undertheorized.
This is five minutes of absolute absurdity happening @Columbia right now. Jewish Zionists walk into the “encampment” and the mob tries to force them out. This is a public space on campus that they are treating as private property. This is full blown mob mentality and anarchy.
2015. @conor64 A fight over Halloween costumes at Yale devolves into an effort to censor dissenting views. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
@conor64 If administrators are ever pressed about this, maybe one of the questions can be, “In hindsight, do you think you owe a public apology to @NAChristakis and @ErikaChristakis?” And: “Is Silliman College now safer without them?”
Husband @MarkHorowitz texted a few minutes ago from SF to inform me he just ordered the “Johnny Drama,” and now I want to find the restaurant owner and personally thank him for finally and at long last properly honoring Kevin Dillon
Walton Goggins is so great. I mean, like the best TV actor of the past 15 years maybe.

The opposite, @DrJBhattacharya I have contractual protections to go where the facts take me in covering NPR and to do reporting insulated from any influence from corporate or news leadership. No other outlet affords more protection for self-coverage.
