Mark Swidan spent more than a decade in a windowless box for a crime he didn’t commit. Now he’s back home in Texas—and living on food stamps.

From astronomy to infrastructure, the founders understood that natural knowledge strengthens a nation. This July 4th, it's worth asking if we still do. My latest for @ocregister and @RSI:

From our earliest days, the pursuit of knowledge in this country was never just about learning—it was a civic act.

Well, no. Israel is doing what the civilized world should have already done: defang a theocracy that stokes bloodshed across the Middle East and beyond.
This is exactly right. Israel is a rogue state that constantly undermines both U.S. interests and values.

Have we lost a shared commitment to self-governance? We need to rebuild the framework to ensure it succeeds. My latest for @NRO out over the weekend:

Great article on our need to learn how to disagree
New from me in @NRO this weekend: Self-Government Takes Practice. We’ve Stopped Rehearsing. From Madison’s literary society to today’s campus silencing, we forgot what democracy demands: the courage to disagree.

We’re forgetting how to do democracy. That’s the real lesson of 2020, 2024, the lawfare, the war on civil liberties, the insanity that’s engulfed what used to be called public life. A very thoughtful and timely piece c/o @SL_Schaeffer

As the American Jewish community continues to reel from the horrific antisemitic murders in Washington, D.C., it is unfathomable that the Jewish community is facing another terror attack here in Boulder, on the eve of the holiday of Shavuot no less. Several individuals were

I could tweet about China erasing Uighurs or the 100,000+ who have been killed in Sudan or the tens of thousands in Syria or the 1.7 million slaves in Arab states or the disaster that is Burma, N. Korea, Iran, Venezuela or Mexico, but I'm going to pick on Jews handing out food.
There is no returning from this. This is the end of the line. Any ideology that ends up in this has failed some basic test and needs to be dismantled

Any political ideology that can’t condemn hospital workers that threaten to kill Jewish civilians is morally bankrupt. One that shows up in angry crowds to cheer for that violence is fundamentally incomparable with democracy.
Sydney, Australia - public school students chant “Allah Akhbar” following @nswpolice decision to charge Muslim nurse over alleged threats to kill Jews This can’t continue Australian PM @AlboMP must unequivocally condemn Muslim leaders who seemingly seek to divide our country
