    We should all be angry about what appears to be a blatant act of murder by Saudi Arabia, but notice that the senseless killing of one well-connected dissident journalist has triggered way more elite outrage than the prolonged and brutal bombing of thousands of anonymous Yemenis.

    Actually we could do both!

    I want to. But Aziz and I had philosophical differences about it...he thinks we should invent rulings ourselves and I would really like to consult actual shayukh and fuqaha about it. Some of the best fiqh has always been speculative and grown out of thought experiments.

    I even have terrible puns ready for the title

    Unclear. I'd be fascinated if the jurists in my feed wanted to weigh in. and I keep discussing the idea of collaborating on a Future Fiqh book that would be made up entirely of 'Islamic rulings for the robot apocalypse' type stuff

    The rot of white patriarchy: It is 2018: a man accused by at least 20 women of sexual assault is president of the USA thanks to 53% of white women voters & a man accused of sexual assault is supported by ~70% of GOP(white)women.That is a national crisis.

    18. The Supreme Court is political. Everyone from the lightly-liberal center to the left needs to recognize this, and what it means for their own politics and activism.

    None of this matters

    Klobuchar has managed to become the one Dem on the judiciary committee who conservatives think was acting in good faith, while also getting a damaging answer out of Kavanaugh and acquitting herself well with Democrats, which is quite a feat.

    project much?

    The larger lesson of the past 2 yrs is the left will not abide losing power, even temporarily. For liberals, political power is personal power. W/out it, they’re exposed & terrified. Some become vicious. They believe they’re meant to run this country, our government & our culture

    Don’t bother bringing up these kinds of examples. Heterdox Academy is funded by Koch Bros. connected right wing think tanks. They have a vested economic interest in the con that conservatives are under attack on campus despite all evidence pointing to the contrary.

    “The best thing we could do is work as hard as we can for what is right and what is good.” It was an honor to share this conversation with , who grew up in the Bronx/NY-14. Her grandmother lived just a few blocks from where I do now.

    The third day of Kavanaugh hearings is underway. Booker is currently telling the committee he'll release some emails that have been marked "committee confidential." (Feel free to mute this thread.)
