New York Times veteran David Sanger blasted Donald Trump's assertion that his reporting on the Iran war amounted to treason.
Trump made the comment on Air Force One this week after Sanger asked,
"What would the use be of repeating the bombing?
You you did it for 38 days, and you did not get the political changes in Iran."

Trump turned on Sanger, saying,

This vintage trailer I saw reminds me of the Norwegian movie „Kitchen Stories“ (Salmer fra kjŸkkenet). I was lucky to catch it in an arthouse cinema years ago. It seems hard to get these days. Not streaming anywhere. 1 DVD on Amazon for 50€.

In other words, we as a campus community have an active debate about which debates are even worth having — and we have room to exercise judgement about which voices we as a community choose to amplify.
Amplifying all voices is not a route to free society; it’s a route to total noise. Flooding the zone is just as effective a means of censorship as silencing all opposition. As people trying to foster useful discussion, we have an obligation to choose choose wisely our topics of discussion and the voices we elevate.

Sonnet 046 - XLVI
Mine eye and heart are at a mortal war,
How to divide the conquest of thy sight;
Mine eye my heart thy picture's sight would bar,
My heart mine eye the freedom of that right.
My heart doth plead that thou in him dost lie,
A closet never pierc'd with crystal eyes,
But the defendant doth that plea deny,
And says in him thy fair appearance lies.
To 'cide this title is impannelled
A quest of thoughts, all t…
