"The magazine’s politics were what passes for center-left in the United States. […] The operating orthodoxy was that police killings, CIA coups, black site torture, and institutional misogyny were aberrations, deviations from the American norm that would eventually be corrected when the arc of the moral universe, long as it is, finally got around to them."

Frantz #Fanon was born on the Caribbean island of Martinique, which was then a French colony. Frantz Fanon said (at first Congrès des Écrivains Noirs in #Paris in 1956) :

Mehdi Hasan, an MSNBC host, wrote about Bill #Ackman’s campaign against #Harvard:
“This is what happens when liberal universities roll over for rightwing, bad-faith bullies. It’s what happens when anyone anywhere rolls over to try and appease a bully. They don’t get appeased. They just come back for more.”
