“Flights to Guantánamo Bay have begun. The worst of the worst have no place in our homeland.” With those words the U.S. government announced the fate awaiting “criminal aliens” in its custody. On a military base in El Paso, Texas, masked men in combat fatigues paraded a group of young Venezuelan immigrants, their hands cuffed and their ankles shackled, in front of the cameras, before loading them onto a waiting Air Force C-17, which was to deliver its human cargo to Naval Station Guantánamo Bay overnight. Once there, they were to be incarcerated in the infamous Camp 6, held incommunicado in the same cells where al-Qaeda suspects were once held in indefinite detention, and guarded by the 1st Battalion, 6th...

“The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy…” — Elon Musk
- - -
I see Musk’s point. Empathy is destroying Western civilization, which is why it’s good that he and DOGE got rid of all those USAID programs around the world. Fending off starvation in Ethiopia and providing clean water in Colombia was completely crippling Western civilization, taking away precious funds we should be using to buy crypto.

So, we’ve talked before about problems with Tesla. His competitors are, to put it simply, producing better cars which cost less, especially but not only the Chinese like BYD. Meanwhile Musk’s politics, like denying climate change and throwing a Nazi salute, while tying himself to Trump just as Trump is pissing off almost every country whose consumers buy Tesla vehicles has made customers a lot less interested in buying Tesla. He’s trashing his own brand with the people who supported it most.
Whatever happened to the notion that, faced with the enemies of democracy, we should fight their ideas but, equally, for their right to express them?

“The Trump administration said Friday that it’s pulling $400 million from Columbia University, canceling grants and contracts because of what the government describes as the Ivy League school’s failure to squelch antisemitism on campus.” — AP

What with antisemitism on the rise again—we see it with the re-ascension of Donald Trump, the loosening of moderation on social media, and Netflix’s hiking its basic plan to cost Americans two dollars more a month to watch Seinfeld—you can’t blame American Jews like me for feeling a little uneasy. Until now, that is, as the Trump administration is finally making an example out of that longtime bastion of anti-Jewish fervor, Columbia University.
