Johnson defending Congress’s solemn tradition of doing nothing
I thought we renamed it the Department of War because “defense” was too woke

Emmanuel Damas, 56, died in ICE custody on Monday.
Damas came to the U.S. from Haiti seeking asylum. After six months in ICE custody—the last four at CoreCivic's Florence Correctional Center—he died from complications from a tooth infection.
A tooth infection.

Every day, more people join our cause (the Gulf States being an authoritarian nightmare of slaver landlords)
U.S. Ability to Determine What Comes Next in Iran Might Be Limited
Understatement alert
"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school
More likely than not IMO, the IDF fully intended to kill those schoolgirls. Along with the “Amalek” stuff, the Israelis want to leave a calling card that terrifies the entire populace into submission. At this point we’ve seen the pattern of behavior well enough
WOW. 19 people, all who were imprisoned and mistreated in a foreign prison at the direct command of the United States, are brave enough to say “We are innocent, and we will endure more time imprisoned to prove that.”
I can only admire the enormous courage such a move takes.
that top DOD officials spent the entire day feuding with a tech company and the boy scouts before launching a war in the middle of the night should probably inform your opinion about how well planned and executed this will be
You have to wonder if some people in the White House think they can wrap this up over the weekend
Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

Clownish response from Europe. It could not be clearer who is the aggressor in this conflict
The Iran war is going to fuel a new level of anti-semitism
I know things are super terrible, but we do need a soccer reporter to get a quote from FIFA about the actions of their Peace Prize recipient.
every Democratic official needs to be wiping OpenAI from their devices, banning its use by their staff, and proposing to eradicate it from any jurisdiction they help govern unless they want to give the Trump administration unfettered access to their data
Just to be clear, using any open AI product from this day forward is completely immoral and unjustifiable
would be cool to have an opposition party that was unequivocally anti-war and didn’t limit itself to mealy-mouthed procedural objections right about now
so sick of evil rich people making our short lives hell
“Huge plumes of black smoke were seen rising from an area near the headquarters of the US Navy's Fifth Fleet in Manama, Bahrain. The extent of any damage is unclear and the US has not commented.”

perhaps the most striking demonstration that permissioned stablecoin systems can enable mass surveillance. Please stop stressing the anonymity narrative
Total control of new monetary infrastructure will allow them to cut and freeze and choke with even more precision

Trump, July 19: "All three nuclear sites in Iran were completely destroyed and/or OBLITERATED. It would take years to bring them back into service."
Witkoff, Sunday: "They're probably a week away from having industrial-grade bomb-making material."
This allows the Trump administration to literally condition citizenship on what it defines as acceptable speech
i will always have a soft spot for profiles of annoying people engaged in good work. being mildly annoyed is the baseline reality of organizing and existing in human society
👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.
"It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.
The Third Circuit has changed its slip opinion format and I need @matthewstiegler.bsky.social to warn me about this sort of thing first.
“Abolish ICE” and even “Prosecute ICE” are giving way to “Make ICE stand trial before the Revolutionary Tribunal”
