70% of all Harris voters in 2024 and 65% of all self identified Democrats believe Israel has committed genocide

60% of Democrats believe Israel kills children intentionally and whopping 77% overall have a negative view of Israel.

UPenn faculty condemn Trump administration’s demand for ‘lists of Jews’ Groups say EEOC demand for names and personal details echoes dark history and threatens safety and civil rights

Once again: a far-right president asking Jews to register as Jewish, in the name of protecting the Jews, after he has repeatedly accused Jews of being “disloyal.” What could go wrong?

Roth is always well worth reading, but this is one of the Roth essays where you think to yourself, yeah, people trying to understand this era are gonna be reading this 40 years from now

some of these guys feel that they're showing remarkable restraint by passing up murders they're entitled to commit

Witnesses said she was given conflicting orders and you left out that he said "fucking bitch" after he shot her in the face.

The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old mother fatally shot by ICE, shows that ICE can’t be reformed and must be abolished.

I’ll be introducing the Abolish ICE Act as a step toward justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration policy.

Time to melt ICE.

Amy Klobuchar voted for one of Trump's nominees the day after a woman in her state was murdered by ICE.

ICE Agents Can Be Charged With Murder - The American Prospect As a killing in Minneapolis is documented, the law clearly stipulates that federal agents do not have universal immunity.

ICYMI, yesterday I ran down several examples of federal officers who violated state laws being prosecuted. Yes it would likely be removed to federal court. Yes there would be claims that the officer was discharging his duties. So what. If you don't prosecute now you've given ICE practical immunity.

it’s clarifying to know these people would be fine with ICE killing you so long as it was within policy

Context: A decade ago, Border Patrol agents had to be ordered not to put themselves in front of moving vehicles as a pretext to use deadly force

Hours ago:

Turns out Instagram will immediately delete your story if you attempt to write “Fuck ICE,” so that’s fun.

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.

I'm not demanding they man the barricades: I'm demanding tangible, specific action, and I am seeing nothing that meets this simple criteria.

I hate that I feel so certain most Dems aren't specifying what should be done because that means owning that action and chance failing, and that is far worse for them than the country failing. I hope they are remembered as cowards.

Something so deflating to know I can fully expect most Dems to not demand any specific or tangible recourse. At best, some vague notion of consequence, with most prefacing that Maduro is bad, as if there is any purpose in being measured about this.

Are we supposed to call our reps and tell them we don’t like when the president engages in overt war crimes, or can we trust them to get there on their own?

twitter is so awash in AI CSAM right now (which is now a crime in most states) that you risk committing a felony just by opening the app

This isn't a Weiss marching order: it's who Dokoupil is.

Watch the Dokoupul interview with Ta-Nihisi Coates interview again, and note how eagerly he projects violent meaning to Coates' words to rationalize his obvious hatred of Palestinians, Arab ethnicities, etc. Bleak seeing him in that chair.

I am in a Albany NY airport bar and everyone is discussing LA traffic from people who apparently don't live in LA. Ergo, this is a national issue.

Arsenal's first team players and Arteta as 16-bit pixel characters.

Someone did pixel art of the current Arsenal squad and it's amazing

I really like the idea of this -- comparing specific issues of political discourse, legislative politics, policy, impact (i.e., costs) -- but CNN/SSRS put their thumb on the scales by including a "general" option for cost of living only which very clearly creates a skew which they then spotlight.

RTE: "Okay fine everyone we won't use the exonerative tense: we won't even mention the car"

bsky.app/profile/news...

There are counterparts in the UK that aren't reporting it like this. Weird to see the exonerative tense used for drivers outside the US.

How was the car involved, RTE?

The poverty-shaming chants from the Arsenal fans also pretty bad.

Booing a standard concussion protocol for an obvious head injury. Stay classy Everton.

We have the proven technology to address many of the externalities of driving:

-Speed cameras
-Congestion pricing
-Demand based parking pricing

Failure to implement these policies is no longer a shortcoming of knowledge, but rather political will.

Can speed cameras make streets safer? Quasi-experimental evidence from New York City | PNAS Each year, approximately 40,000 people die in vehicle collisions in the United States, generating $340 billion in economic costs. To make roads saf...

Our new study provides rare causal evidence about NYC’s speed camera program. We find large reductions in collisions (30%) and injuries (16%) near intersections with cameras. www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1... @astagoff.bsky.social ky.social @brendenbeck.bsky.social nbeck.bsky.social 🧪
