Concur as a Midwesterner. Btw, this is your old classmate from cville, I meant to message you when I found you here but forgot so without ability to DM, I'm making this awkward post lol. Hope you are doing well, buddy.
BREAKING: Israel's Knesset has passed a law to execute Palestinian detainees.
Death by hanging. Mandatory sentencing. No pardon. 90 days to carry out.
It applies through military courts with a 96% conviction rate. It does not apply to Israelis.
I stayed at that Four Seasons a few times pre-revolution, that XO Bar was crawling with spies.
I really hope the ICE who end up at Hartsfield know that Atlanta's TSA knows how to throw hands....
I tried to push back on a follower of mine defending using "zio," got accused of being one, and then blocked.
So to make it absolutely clear: stop fucking saying that shit. "Zio" was coined by David Duke. The way in which so many of you have so easily slipped into this kind of antisemitism is BAD.
Tweet from Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz: Justice has been done. I welcome the decision of the Chief Military Prosecutor, Major General Itai Ofir, to close the Sde Teiman cases against IDF soldiers and to cancel the indictment against them. This trial was born in sin by the previous Military Advocate General, using a blood libel against IDF soldiers and criminal investigation methods, and I am glad that justice has been done and the trial has been canceled. The role of the IDF's legal system is to protect and safeguard IDF soldiers who engage heroically in war against cruel monsters, and not the rights of the terrorists of Hamas. I am convinced that the decision will lead to a new path.
The Defense Minister of Israel says it was "blood libel" to go after Israeli soldiers caught on camera raping a Palestinian.
They broke the students. Every leader with power from 2023 to now worked overtime and spared no expense to absolutely destroy a student movement that had been active and vibrant since the 1930s. They tortured they beat they imprisoned they dissappeared they expelled. They made politics too costly.

Oh, ❤️❤️❤️ to your mom. I hope she is doing well these days - that's a lot to endure. Hoping my daughter (elementary school) will be just as vigilant as you are. It's crazy, I had no family history, it was a huge shock.
Had a double mastectomy in December, caught non invasive BC so incredibly early thanks to mammogram. I *should* have insisted on an MRI years ago because of very dense breasts but got lucky to have caught it so early anyway. Atlanta Breast Care was phenomenal should anyone need a rec!

It was so great to hear you tonight - my kids had a lot of questions afterwards. And my husband and I will both be calling tomorrow about HB 61. Thank you for your book and all your work.
Also curious. Spent a lot of Iraq war in the region and only ever dealt with level 4 too dangerous to smoke shisha in Aleppo type shit.
Just registered, bringing the whole family. My son is actually presenting his IB project on unhoused folks in our neighborhood the very next morning so I'm so happy he'll get to attend this beforehand! Also bought the paperback bc I gave my hardback away 2 weeks ago lol
NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign.
Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship.
Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.
I'm going to a white elephant party in Atlanta this afternoon and I only know the host. This is the present I'm giving.
When I was being driven around the Cities in lightly falling, fluffy snow, the whole scene was rendered in real-life grayscale. I had a shameful, selfish thought: This is the opposite of a color lead. My editor sent me all the way out here for this? I thought of all the useless video I had taken, and then of the terabytes more of data on a thousand other phones. All the interactions that didn’t escalate, or even turn out to be ICE action. All those videos are evidence of the terror, too—evidence of the wearying watchfulness that an occupation wrests from people. How occupations colonize memory as much as space. The shots of ICE agents leaving a scene, of storefronts that aren’t blasted through, of apartments whose doors remain whole—all of that is abundant but unaccessible proof of what can be accomplished without leadership, just community and will.

Ta-Nehisi Coates: With the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, "Trump has clarified an inconvenient fact—the culture war is an actual war"
I try to avoid hyperbole when it comes to Trump policies, but this is absolutely frickin’ insane—on about eleventy different levels.
Massive, systemic Fourth Amendment violations because … reasons.

Oops, I'm sorry, my reading comprehension sucks today, hope you find what you're looking for.
@swordsjew.bsky.social just had a post with loads of recs literally today!
The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.
