Great interview, if depressing. I spend part of the year ten blocks from New College, which DeSantis is savaging, and I look at all our yard signs defending academic freedom and feel…pitiable.

Yesterday, though, I found myself behind a car with a lot of pro-DeSantis bumper stickers, one of which read “Don’t New York my Florida!” So I pulled alongside, honked and smiled and waved, and then politely asked to go ahead of him, which he nicely agreed to. Then he had to follow my NY license plates on my NY Subaru for ten blocks of very slow traffic. Just being friendly.

Jonathan— great piece. We just had the dei operation shit down at New College. In this case, they wanted no interference with right wing board. Have enjoyed seeing you talk about Jimmy Carter. Even found my peanut button from the Chicago campaign 👏
