I’m a Former Cornell Lecturer; Jane Doe Could Have Been My Student. And if She Wasn’t, She Still Was and So Were—in the end—The Cornell Seven. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I will say this first: Mathew Ingalls, Jonathan Newell, Winston Lee, Diego Sarabia, Gillio Lopes, Scott Kreztchmar and Scott Norris deserve to lose everything. The administrators who helped bury this, who assigned reflective essays as punishment, expelling only two of the seven, the Tompkins County DA should lose everything. They should lose their friends, their families, and their jobs. They should lose their sleep, their health, their minds, control over their bodies and their futures. They ca
A Statement on the Genocide Which Does Not Name “Palestinians,” “Israel,” “Zionism” or “Genocide” is Not a Condemnation but a Collaboration: (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Whereas the lives of “civilians” and “children” are “lost” but not taken. Whereas they are victims of “injustice,” but they have no name and the reason is unknown. Whereas there is a place (Gaza, the West Bank) where these injustices occur, but no actor commits them. Whereas geographies in which “injustice unfolds” injustice is rendered as a natural fact of place.

Revisiting What Everyone Missed With the War Department’s Testosterone Policy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The War Department’s Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) program announcement this July was a flash in the media’s pan.

In light of Thomas Massie introducing articles of impeachment against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth for, among other things, war crimes it felt important to revisit the initiative and, more import
Western States are Designed to React to and Punish the Individual (opens the original)
Read excerpt
During one of the worst droughts of its recorded history, the UK has taken to fining citizens £1000 for watering their lawns and banning single use grills. No, you shouldn’t water your grass during a drought, nor should you have open flames under such conditions. The real questions are, knowing what we know, why do we still have lawns? Why are we halting single use grills but not the emitters who have created apocalyptic climate conditions? Even if states refuse to hold emitters responsible for
MO Congressman Wesley Bell is (Still) Arguing Israel isn’t Committing Genocide in Gaza Because "They Could Have Used a Nuke." (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How much of the West has been taught to think about the atrocities of history has left a large swath of the population ill equipped to appropriately analyze the severity of present (and impending) ones as well as the actors involved. Public memory, imagination, action and political will has been restricted by an overemphasis on (1) the individual, (2) the numbers, and (3) the methods of death, destruction or displacement not as a way to understand a system or worldview but as a means to indict 1
