The law is a victory for Israel’s far right and reflects the country’s shift to the right in the wake of the Hamas-led attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, and the Gaza war that followed. The death penalty has long been legal in Israel, but only two people have been executed in the country’s 78-year history. The law makes death by hanging the default sentence in Israeli military courts trying Palestinians accused of killing people in militant attacks. Israeli citizens — both Jewish and Palestinian-Arab — could also face the death penalty for attacks that aim to “negate the existence of the state of Israel.” However, experts say the chances of it being applied to Jewish Israelis are minuscule.
The death penalty but it only applies to one ethnic group in the seperate courts you’ve set up to try them in www.nytimes.com/2026/03/30/w...

it's incredible that as long as you do the right amount of bigotry you can just rob the country blind and enough people will not care, even though those same people will be filled with incandescent rage if someone uses food stamps to buy a 12 pack of diet coke
February 28, 2026. A statement from Sharif El-Mekki, founder and CEO of The Center for Black Educator Development: “Black educators are essential to educational excellence. Truth telling strengthens our democracy. Equity is not optional. It is our responsibility. The recent district court ruling protects educators’ livelihoods and their responsibility to teach honestly. At a time of severe teacher shortages, it sends a clear message. Educators can enter and remain in this profession bringing their full selves to the classroom and creating inclusive environments where every student belongs.” The Center's logo is included.
A victory for academic freedom.

Yesterday, Spc Sarah Becstrom was laid to rest in West Virginia at a VA National Cemetery.
Surprisingly none of the major major news media mention it. No flags were lower to half staff.
Well the Convicted FElon keeps the news focus on him.

Missouri Senator #EricSchmitt lectured in full White Nationalist last week. We thought it might be useful to deposit a Reality Check in the accounts of deluded White Nationalists, beginning with him. This week’s In Class With Carr, Session 287: "Reality Check!" www.youtube.com/live/emUJ4SK...
I will stand on my work. Completely. My work is factual, deeply researched and informed by decades of sustained engagement. Your comment is an attempt at #WeaponizedIgnorance that I only take a moment to respond to for the following reason: White nationalism is in its death spiral. Bleat on.
Writing that lets me know you didn’t get one.
If you have a student attending Howard: My new course, "The Black University" [AFRO 121-02] was finally listed as open for enrollment. I have seats available for a few students who want to join this class. This one, part of the larger work to #JailbreakTheBlackUniversity , going to hit different.
