Democrats who are unwilling to be critical when it matters are holding the door open for MAGA. You think you're above it all but you're truly just the same creature with a blue hat instead of red.

The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up. The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.

Before he resigned over Gaza, Army Maj. Harrison Mann was a senior Mideast analyst in the Defense Intelligence Agency. With an all-out Israel-Hezbollah war looming, he walked me through what the next phase of escalation could look like. And it’s *real* scary.

what does “racial statement” even mean? it is the opposite of providing clarity to readers.

Something I as a tech services librarian recommend: As soon as you hear about a forthcoming book you’d like to borrow, go to your library’s catalog and try to place a hold. There’s a good chance a record is already there. Strong demand stats help us plan—and look good to trustees & administrators. 📚

Our government won't stop lying to us.

Israeli officials are clear about rejecting a permanent ceasefire. Hamas is clear about accepting it.

But U.S. officials and politicians won't stop saying that Hamas is blocking peace.

They can sanction *relatives* of the vaguely defined persons who have “directly engaged in or otherwise aided any effort by the ICC to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute a protected person.” This reads very similar to Trump’s exec order sanctioning the ICC:

Decades from now, the polite mainstream will claim the legacy of the protester who stands bravely against the jeering white boys - just like it currently claims the legacy of protesters who stood bravely decades ago. But let’s remember where the polite mainstream stands in the moment.

My first piece for Zeteo is a look at a technological threshold Israel appears to have crossed in Gaza and the tremendous implications it has for the accessibility of lethal drones. What happens in Gaza will not stay in Gaza.

“We took out thousands of people. We didn’t go through them one by one — we put everything into automated systems, and as soon as one of [the marked individuals] was at home, he immediately became a target. We bombed him and his house.” Holy shit, this is disturbing.

$10.2 billion. That is the projected amount that will be spent on political advertising during the 2024 election. This would make it the most expensive election in history. Good god, do we need to overturn Citizens United.
