Quantum physics makes my uneducated head hurt, but until opening the door I never know whether there's aspirin in the medicine cabinet.

Right-wing thugs who attacked anti-genocide protesters at UCLA appear to be same perps from violent anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-vaccine protests ( www.theguardian.com )

... The demonstrations, part of a broader rightwing effort to sow unrest and undermine an alleged “liberal agenda” at US schools, have at times been marked by violence and drawn far-right participants from around the region, including people associated with local Proud Boy and Three Percenter militia chapters and...

Authorities are still working to identify the perpetrators, and have not made any arrests.

Yeah, I'm sure the authorities are up all night, doggedly investigating.

Do they not teach government and civics in schools any more?

No, they do not. In most American school districts, civics classes are no longer part of the curriculum.

This is bullshit both-sidesism, and I often wonder what motivates such falsehoods.

Biden is not an MLK-level speaker, but he's at least as coherently as an average American. Trump is not capable of speaking three consecutive sentences that make sense, nor four on even the same topic before his mind wanders away.

An opinion piece trying to twist the man’s words.

There has been a "ferocious surge of antisemitism in America," but it's not on campus. It's from the same people who are ferociously racist and anti-LGBTQ, and now lying that anti-genocide means anti-semitism.

I don't doubt that there's a sprinkling of anti-semites among the protesters, same as there are anti-semites at baseball games and everywhere else in America. Anyone violent or threatening violence ought to be arrested and prosecuted — of course.

But in all this campus hubbub over the past month, the violent and frightening people are the ones ordering the end of protests. And now the President of the United States, standing behind the people ordering the end of protests.
