Contrast this picture—masked fascists smugly strolling through a public street with no police presence whatsoever—with that of the hundreds of students being brutalized by riot cops on college campuses around the country for sitting on the grass to protest a genocide.

Maybe it was never a good idea to let a profession that still refuses to accept that “fentanyl exposure” is scientifically impossible to dictate medical care during emergencies

Leaked USAID memo: “deterioration of food security and nutrition in Gaza is unprecedented in modern history, exponentially outpacing in six months the long-term declines that led to the only other two famine declarations in the 21st century”

Just damning

Lot of takes floating around about what is motivating student protestors (loneliness, peer pressure, trying to be trendy?) My take: protestors are primarily motivated by concern over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza

this is really such a great piece. a lot of tech criticism falls flat when it does not center how many of Silicon Valley’s networks obsess over insulating capitalism from democracy, over preserving class rule & power projection. reactionaries w a digital gloss

It’s going to be so funny when the most reactionary, amoral 10% of Columbia’s graduating class can’t find jobs at the white collar crime factory because other kids were protesting genocide

Ahh, I see the “Patriot Front is just Feds!” line of bullshit is doin’ the rounds again.

Their internal chats were leaked by an antifascist group. Anyone who entertains the belief that they’re Feds should just…

Google it and go take a look. See how they talk in private!

I've seen no credible reporting of actual antisemitic incidents at the UT Austin protest. What I can tell you is that I've reported on numerous neo-Nazi events and Greg Abbott never once tried to put any of them in jail.

At the newsletter right now:

Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador went on a podcast where he called Justice Sonia Sotomayor 'shameful' and *imitated her using a whiny voice* saying:

“Oh you want women to die,” and “That’s going to cause her death!”

I couldn't stop thinking about how mad Justice Alito got when the DOJ lawyer called out the logical endpoint of his 'unborn child' question. He was irate after Prelogar pointed out that, when fetuses are people, pregnant women are not. For The New Republic:

i haven't seen a cop have a moral crisis on the riot line but i did once see an armored federal agent get a tear gas canister wedged between his neck armor and plate carrier and watched the eyes of his mask fill with the gas one of his friends had shot. So miracles do happen

Former spokesperson for families of Israeli hostages in Gaza says they learned that after October 7, Hamas offered to release all civilian hostages to prevent a ground offensive.

“No doubt that Netanyahu is preventing a deal to release the hostage.” zman.co.il/481871/
