“I no longer understand if we have a shared understanding of what a strike is”
California has a propensity for turning right and wrong on their heads, so it was a rare victory for sanity when lawmakers struck down a bill obligating universities to provide unemployment insurance benefits to staff who walked out in protest over arrests of pro-Palestinian protestors.

Democrat Rebecca Bauer-Kahan, who is Jewish, emotionally recounted her grandparents’ Holocaust experience and expressed her anger at campaigners calling for the deaths of more Jews, adding, “I no longer understand if we have a shared understanding of what a strike is.” That’s probably the polite way to put it. Something like, “Overpaid academics with an anti-Israel agenda should certainly not be entitled to compensation for their virtue signaling” would better describe the situation.
That’s the drop in illegal immigrants coming from Mexico since President Biden signed an executive order to shut the southern border, a development hailed by DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. This rare policy victory is unlikely to save Biden in November, but serves as proof for immigration hawks — and squirming progressives — that deterrents work.
