This latest column (about the Trump administration using Jewish safety as an excuse to attack higher education and abduct foreign-born critics of Israel) was tricky to write, both presenting the dire facts straightforwardly and getting the tone right.

A few weeks into Donald Trump's second term, a MAGA-supporting acquaintance asked me why the left seemed "so unbelievably demoralized." He was not (merely) gloating; he was curious. "I'm sure it won't last," he told me, "but for now it's just sort of a bewildering sensation to feel like you're doing politics with no opposition." There was a note of pity in his voice. He wasn't wrong.

why would this be an either/or

My column in @haaretzcom is out! The Trump Administration is not weaponizing antisemitism to suppress pro-Palestinian voices. They are weaponizing it to destroy academia. And when they succeed, they will blame us, the Jews” #Antisemitism #NotInOurName https://t.co/RzXP3qbyDX https://t.co/Hos2CJM3Y0

RT @_TimBarker: I am so grateful to the student activists who keep fighting. We should all be more like them.
