I think what Ezra Klein humiliating himself--and so many Elite Liberal Pundits leaping to his defense--demonstrates is how important it is to establish that if you liberally and nonviolently advocate for violent and illiberal policies, you yourself are blameless, guiltless, and without culpability

"Every single person who has died during these cycles of actions and reprisals — around 140 people in large protests –– has been killed by the police." - @nanjala.bsky.social in @hammerandhope.bsky.social

Young Kenyans who took to the streets to protest corruption and poor job prospects are being charged in antiterrorism courts funded by the U.S. They face decades in maximum-security prison.

A retired U.S. soldier who worked at Gaza aid delivery sites said, “What I witnessed in Gaza, I can only describe as a dystopian, post-apocalyptic wasteland. We, the United States, are complicit.

After the Paramount-Skydance merger, CBS will now officially become state media for the Trump regime. Brendan Carr, Chairman of the FCC, said the government is placing “an ombudsman in place for two years,” which he described as “basically a bias monitor that will report directly to the President.”

Border Patrol says he was at the red mark, 65 feet south of the border, when he "made an abrupt starboard turn and struck the port bow of the Coast Guard small-boat," causing him to capsize. He says that's ridiculous, he was in Canadian waters and was going to shore to talk when they hit him.

Rep. Randy Fine cheered a report saying that 15 Palestinians in Gaza, including four children, had died from famine in a single day. “Release the hostages. Until then, starve away,” Fine said. Using starvation as a military tactic and targeting civilians are war crimes.
