A good letter from Senate Democrats demanding a federal investigation into the murder of a Philadelphia-born Palestinian American named Nasrallah Abu Siyam.
Interestingly, neither of the two senators from Pennsylvania itself signed on. Nor did either NY senator, one of whom is Minority Leader.
"US investigation points to likely US responsibility in Iran school strike, sources say"
Does feel like quite some overlap between “Mamdani needs to reassure Jews” Dems and “stop whining about Platner’s Nazi tattoo” Dems
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
Donald Trump must find a way to cut short his ill-considered conflict with Iran. His rash approach is sowing chaos econ.st/3OYibZ1
I have a secret to tell Marc: The reason for being a moral, decent, good person is not so that people like you and stop criticizing you. In fact, you're right, they won't. You do it anyway.
Oh I have it somewhere, in storage
Oh it gets better
no, looks fascinating. Probably more informative than the fake Soviet newscast I taped for a 7th grade social studies unit on the centrally planned economy
the rise of Solidarity owing something to the ruthless capitalism of Western banks is a good one
It’s from GHW Bush mocking (it would seem) an old Bircher expression from the Cold War and China v Taiwan
You’re not going to believe how dumb the origin story for this is
fwiw, I wrote this lengthy piece where I talked to medical professionals and trans people all of whom were very clear that gay and lesbian kids are not being forced to be trans. www.readtpa.com/p/no-gay-and...
The usage of “2.0” indicates this was produced by a FriedmanLLM
Also, people need to look up Ike’s nuclear policy
Yes of course agreed
No single person is the undisputed face, fair enough. There’s probably 3 or 4 faces
Sure but this is not an invented narrative to serve some agenda. I also think it’s worth reading the piece before making a tendentious case about it
This is just not true, Newsom is tops in the Emerson poll that just came out a few days ago (one doesn’t have to like that this is so but it is) emersoncollegepolling.com/february-202...
Important to remember this was part of one of the wrongest “calm down” series in history
So many dupes over on the other app whose most recent post is “1d” ago because their world model has been exposed (again) as idiotic
Good thread on the blatant hypocrisy displayed here, including by the grifty enablers who brought you the “Twitter files” (who have since gone quiet)
Ross Douthat tweet: Fundamental factional energy -- Silicon Valley: Faust bargaining with the devil RW populism: mob boss in a tinfoil hat The Cathedral: Voluntary human extinction
The peak is really his next tweet where he just assumes the form of Curtis Yarvin

The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

“The court is not aware of another occasion in the history of the US in which a federal court has had to threaten contempt—again & again & again—to force the US govt. to comply with court orders”

Fascinating
NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.
