Arrest seems exceptionally excessive.

The Cowardice of Senate Democrats Made Emil Bove’s Confirmation Possible Senate Democrats could have confirmed Biden nominee Adeel Mangi to the Third Circuit last year. They caved to a disgraceful right-wing smear campaign instead.

Emil Bove's confirmation was only possible because Democrats caved to a vile right-wing smear campaign of Adeel Mangi, who would have been the first Muslim appeals court judge, when Biden nominated him for the same seat last year. Absolutely disgraceful. Bove's confirmation is on them, too.

About time for some new politicians who reflect the views of the voters.

Green Beret Anthony Agular recounts how a 5-year-old Palestinian kissed his hands to thank him for the food Agular gave him

Seconds later, Israeli soldiers shot and killed the starving child

ISIS prisoners were treated with more dignity than these children, Agular says

The former Attorney General of Israel, Michael Benyair is now calling Israel's actions in Gaza genocide.

"To eternal shame. Jews, who suffered a genocide 80 years ago, are committing genocide in Gaza. Shame, rage, and sorrow"

New Kings Democrats members have endorsed Democratic nominee @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for NYC Mayor in the 2025 general election!

Typically NKD doesn’t make endorsements in the general electionβ€”as a Democratic club we don't need to take a vote to support Democrats against Republicans...

I think it’s better that NY residents can afford to live here than for tourists to have cheap hotels.

Venus Williams just won her first match in two years and at the end when they were interviewing her about what a miracle it was, she said she had to come back and play a match; they told her she was on cobra and she’s always at the doctor so **she needs the health insurance**

Yet another example of why ICE must be abolished. Why would any sensible country keep around a security force like this? It doesn't even matter what your views are on immigration, this entire agency and all of its staff needs to go.

Shachnow, 33, began working for ICE in 2021, shortly after she graduated from law school, according to public records and her LinkedIn account. The latter lists β€œCivil Rights and Social Action” among her β€œfavored causes.

I once had an OC for prisons who described himself as a civil rights lawyer so

Israel strikes the Gaza church the pope used to call nightly, killing 3 The Rev. Gabriel Romanelli of the Church of the Holy Family used to speak every night with Pope Francis before the pontiff’s death.

"Pizzaballa told Vatican News that a tank had fired on the church directly, 'the IDF says by mistake, but we are not sure about this.'"

Professor Fallon was a wonderful Fed Courts professor who somehow made the material interesting and understandable. Throughout my career, I have frequently had occasion to think back and rely on what I learned in his class.

Israel leads the world in child murder and has made Gaza have more child amputees per capita than anywhere in the world. Netanyahu is at the helm of their extermination & here are a bunch of Democrats including Cory Booker, who regularly quotes Angela Davis, posing with him

In several cases, S. said, Israeli troops deliberately targeted children. β€œThere was a boy who entered the [off-limits] zone. He didn’t do anything. [Other soldiers] claimed to have seen him standing and talking to people. That’s it β€” they dropped a grenade from a drone.” In another incident, he said, soldiers tried to kill a child riding a bicycle a great distance away from them. 

β€œIn most cases, there was nothing you could tell yourself,” S. continued. β€œThere was no way to complete the sentence, β€˜We killed them because…’”
