At the center of the class-action lawsuit is Lia Thomas, the trans athlete who dominated the 2022 NCAA Swimming Championships while a student at the University of Pennsylvania.

Since October 7, poll after poll has found that most ordinary Palestinians support Hamas.
With the war in Gaza raging, and life becoming more miserable for the people, Bari and her team wanted to speak directly with Palestinians about the situation on the ground.
So they visited Ramallah, de facto capital of the West Bank, and to the Qalandia checkpoint, through which thousands of Palestinians cross each day into Jerusalem. They asked Palestinians about October 7, the war, and the future.

But for a sense of the state of Jewish life in America these days, you only need to have walked by the building in the hours leading up to and after the speech. You would’ve found that police had cordoned off the entire block and for good reason: anti-Israel protesters, many wearing masks, gathered to intimidate Bari and those who came to the lecture. On the way in, you would’ve been screamed at—told you were a “baby killer” and “genocide supporter” among other choice phrases. You might have even glimpsed Jerry Seinfeld being heckled and called “Nazi scum” on his way out of the talk.
The NYPD and the entire staff of 92NY made sure that everyone who attended the talk was able to do so safely. But everyone must ask themselves...

Just 10 days prior, Tucker Carlson interviewed Putin, Navalny’s nemesis—and soon to be murderer—in a two-hour conversation at the Kremlin. Alexei Navalny’s name never came up.
Then, when Carlson appeared onstage at the World Government Summit in Dubai and was asked why he hadn’t pressed Putin about Navalny, he replied: “Every leader kills people. Some kill more than others. Leadership requires killing people.”
Carlson went on to talk about how wonderful the Russian capital was, how it was “so much nicer than any city in my country.” (All onstage in a country that runs on indentured servitude and sharply curbs freedom of expression, mind you.)

- Roland Fryer is one of the most celebrated economists in the world. He is the author of more than 50 papers—on topics ranging from “the economic consequences of distinctively black names” to “racial differences in police shootings.” At 30, he became the youngest black tenured professor in Harvard's history. At 34, he won a MacArthur Genius Fellowship, followed by a John Bates Clark Medal, which is given to an economist in America under 40 who is judged to have made the most significant contribution to economic thought and knowledge.
But before coming to Harvard, Fryer worked at McDonalds—drive-through, not corporate.
Fryer’s life story of rapid ascent to academic celebrity status despite abandonment by his parents at a young age, and growing up in what he calls a “drug family” is incredibly inspiring in its own right. Because based on every statistic and stereotype about race and poverty in America, he should not have become the things he be...

- A recent ABC News/Ipsos poll found that an astonishing 86 percent of Americans think Joe Biden is too old to serve a second term. Even the New York Times editorial board, a reliable Biden ally, acknowledged that his age is a legitimate concern.
But most damaging to the president was the Justice Department report into his handling of classified documents. Special counsel Robert Hur determined Biden shouldn’t be criminally prosecuted, citing his poor memory and diminished faculties.
Former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang admires Joe Biden and thinks Donald Trump is a threat to American democracy. That’s why he’s out on the stump for outsider candidate Dean Phillips, the Minnesota congressman waging a quixotic campaign to replace Biden on the Democratic ticket.
Yang says he can’t support Joe Biden for a simple reason: the president cannot beat the ex-president.

- Description
- On January 25, 2024, Bari Weiss interviewed Natan Sharansky at the Nalagaat Theatre in Jaffa, Israel.
Natan was born in Ukraine, in 1948, the same year as the birth of the state of Israel. A chess prodigy and a mathematician, he became a figure of international importance in 1977, when he was imprisoned by the Soviet Union on trumped-up charges of treason. His real crime was wanting to immigrate to the state of Israel. At his court hearing in 1978, he famously said, “To the court, I have nothing to say. To my wife and to my people, I say, Next year in Jerusalem.”
Getting to Jerusalem took him longer than a year. Sharansky had to spend nine years in the gulag, often in solitary confinement. In 1983, he was in a tiny cell in a prison near the Siberian border when he learned that President Reagan had labeled the Soviet Union an evil empire. That empire fell eight years later, in no small part thanks to the actions of Sharansky, who immigrated to Israel upon h...

October 7 has proven to be many things: the opening salvo in a brutal war between Israel and Hamas; an attack that could precipitate a broader, regional war; the beginning of a global, ongoing orgy of antisemitism; a wake-up call regarding the rot inside the West’s once-great sensemaking institutions; a possible realignment of our politics.
One of the things it has also been is a test. A moral test that many in the West have failed. That test of moral conscience is a continuing one considering there are still 136 hostages in Gaza. Two of them are babies; close to 20 of them are young women.
Across the Western world, these hostages have faded from view. And when it comes to the fate of the many young women abducted by Hamas and taken to Gaza, the silence from some corners has been deafening.

- On October 7, Hamas terrorists stormed into the home of Hadar and Itay Berdichevsky in Kibbutz Kfar Aza, one of the Israeli communities along the Gaza border. Hadar and Itay— both 30 years old—were butchered in their own home.
Miraculously, their 10-month-old twins survived. The babies were found—rescued by the IDF—14 hours later, crying in their cots. Their parents’ bodies lie in pools of blood around them.
Today on Honestly, we’re talking with the twins’ aunt and uncle, Maya and Dvir Rosenfeld, who are now helping raise their orphaned twin nephews. Maya and Dvir also survived the massacre on Kfar Aza that day. They hid in their safe room for more than 24 hours with their own baby boy—holding their hands over his mouth to keep him quiet—as they heard the terrible sounds of their neighborhood being turned into a slaughterhouse around them.
