    You all have been dragging Nude Africa Nazi guy so amazingly well, all I can offer is that I now feel like his 2021 remarks about me are now, in retrospect, honestly a highlight of my entire career
    North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson attacks @gregmepstein, the president of Harvard's chaplain organization, for being an atheist: "He has no wisdom. His wisdom won't begin until he falls down on his knees, repents for his sins, and asks Jesus Christ to come into his heart."

    "This generation of youth have spent their entire lives in fear of having guns pointed at them in schools; what a disgrace for America that is now their own schools that are pointing the guns at them." --Josh Paul, former Director, US Department of State (resigned in protest)

    Give Stacy Abrams everything she needs - and nothing she says she doesn't need - to lead the two runoff campaigns in Georgia. Then give her the Cabinet position of her choice.

    Let me or others be your advocate w/ Harvard administrators or faculty who need to hear: this student is NOT going anywhere because they CAN'T, so you MUST provide safe & comfortable living space. AND extensions etc. MUST be provided to deal with this stress. No ifs ands or buts

    Hi @hakeemangulu, this is what chaplains and other advocates are for. If it is virtually impossible to go home, you/others in your position will likely need to ask to stay. If anyone at Harvard gives you any crap about that whatsoever, that is when you call in someone like me. 1/

    Totally support David rejecting Ashley's request to talk. You don't need to stay friends to show you're a good person #MarriedAtFirstSight

    I happen to be sitting in the Harvard Law Library reading room right now and I could swear I just heard the entire physical infrastructure of the building groan in disgust.

    Yes indeed! Thanks to you I am equipped with even more details about how to resolve these issues. And maybe I'll also publish some more detailed thoughts later for how students elsewhere might approach these really difficult situations. Always an honor to hear from you Chanda!

    IDK but maybe if you spend a millennium or two centering an entire globe-conquering, militaristic and colonial culture on the idea that some people are inherently better than others, bad things might happen.

    Replying to @SashaSagan and @RandPaul
    She would never promote herself so since this tweet is destined to go viral: buy my friend @SashaSagan's book, For Small Creatures Such As We. It's beautiful and it does her father and her entire family legacy very proud

    I'm obliged and honored to share personal news: I've been elected president of my @HarvardChaplain colleagues, and the brilliant @emmabgo wrote about it for the @nytimes. Will add a ๐Ÿงตhere, later today. "The New Chief Chaplain at Harvard? An Atheist."
