When someone says they're not antisemitic, they're just "antizionist," here's what they really mean.

Prof. Timothy Snyder is clear: when the state normalizes violence, our responsibility sharpens. We answer brutality with disciplined, non-violent resistance—and we deny authoritarians the chaos they crave.

Who is wise? One who learns from all people.

Who is a fool? One who is content with their own limited understanding of the world.

Honestly I think it’s worse. For one thing, the violence Hamas has unleashed in Gaza since the Israeli withdrawal is horrifying. And it’s happening with Trump’s explicit endorsement/encouragement.

Brad Lander: "I'll keep coming back to court, week after week"

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process.

But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things.

That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

A New War or a New Stage in an Ongoing War – Observations on June 13 Israeli Attack against Iran Legal scholars assess how the UN Charter and international law applies to Israel's strike on Iran's nuclear and other facilities.

“As we explain below, we are of the view that another legal framework – the ongoing armed conflict framework – is more factually and legally viable than the anticipatory or preventive self-defense frameworks.”

My 2-year-old was in an ICE detention facility when she turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy, why am I being deported to Honduras?" And when I told her "Because due process is too woke," she started crying.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

I see a lot of people falling into the "this is pointless" trap, and I can only say it so many ways — though I suspect I will have to write something specifically about it on this front — but the bottom line is that we must expect compliance. Anything less is just making noncompliance easier.

Just saying I keep trying to do this

friendly reminder that the best case scenario over the coming years is that a lot of people say "I supported Trump but this isn't what I wanted at all" and when they do that it's gonna be really, really important that we say "welcome in," not "fuck you, we told you so"

This poem needs to be posted every day. We’re now living it and it should make every American sick about where we are.
