In general this is something Democrats have steadfastly refused to do over the years vis a vis foreign policy— a massive advantage afforded to Republicans is that a lot of the precedents they set on the world stage end up getting implicitly affirmed by the successive Dem as fait accompli

UPDATE: Mahdawi was able to meet with a member of his legal team who said he’s doing as okay as he can be. Atty Luna Droubi said they’ve confirmed U.S. Atty of VT received TRO, so if ICE moves him they’ll do so knowing the court’s order. Mahdawi and legal team are relieved he’s being held in VT

It has been strange to see my and Abe's work on weaponized interdependence taken up by policy makers as an instruction manual, when it was explicitly written as a warning of how badly things were likely to go wrong. direct.mit.edu/isec/article...

I cannot even tell you how much depends on people like Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, and Marco Rubio going to prison for the crimes they committed in public. If that doesn't happen, and it seems like a long shot, we can pack it up.

distinctly remember watching this for the first time (screening at pittsburgh's carnegie museum of art, back when they used to do film screenings) and walking out with my mind totally blown. rewatched recently on the big screen and it absolutely holds up.

I'm truly not interested in a political project that "restores" the US. I only care about one that completely transforms it.

i went to yeshiva with the guy who made the pancakes, ben packer. he had a confederate flag over his bed, which i took of photo of him waving at massda. he now runs the heritage house in jerusalem. he can often be found tabling at events in favor of ethnically cleansing the west bank.

a lot of us tried to warn during the biden administration that the conflation of criticism of israel with anti-semitism was deeply dangerous. we're living with the fruit that conflation has borne.

watched GRAND TOUR @filmlinc.bsky.social. my favorite movie of the year so far—by some distance. it's endlessly inventive and bursting with indelible visual and narrative moments. the Blue Danube sequence is a particular highlight but the whole movie sings from beginning to end.

This picture of Whitmer is a legitimately stunningly perfect depiction of the Democratic Party right now. A bunch of fucking cowards capitulating and complying. Secretly totally on board with fascism while hiding behind their labels and “lesser of two evils you have no choice but to vote for me”.

So many of you good liberal Democrats conspired to bring us to this point. Equating any criticism of Israel's ongoing genocide with terrorism. Tossed our country's bedrock principles about speech into the shitter so Israel could go on killing. Calling peaceful protests anti semitic.
