The incoming chair of the House Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Law Enforcement and Intelligence, Rep. August Pfluger, not so subtly links counterterrorism to the new Cold War and immigration. Surprised he didn’t add drug cartels but I didn’t read the full statement.

The magic word β€œpreemption” has done a lot, maybe as much as has β€œterrorism,” to usher in the transnational authoritarianism that is coming to define the contemporary era.

What’s behind the uneven exchange of Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners?

You read this and it’s clear, on a basic editorial level, NYT doesn’t consider Palestinians fully human. Every Palestinian is presumed a cartoon terrorist, every Israeli a smol civilian. If you’re Arab, show trials by occupying armies and β€œadmin detention” magically turn a hostage into a β€œprisoner”

The ceasefire is not an excuse to stop speaking about Gaza and Palestine. Now, more than ever, we must demand accountability. Everyone who participated in the slaughter of so many thousands of Palestinians must be punished. Israel cannot be allowed to repeat this.

Just here to let you all know there’s a ceasefire that may have hopefully ended that genocide that’s been ongoing.

Razed to dust, this is what Israel's apocalyptic erasure of Northern Gaza looks like. Palestinians are "returning" to nuclear-scale desolation.

"Just minutes after President Biden announced that a ceasefire agreement had been reached, an Israeli airstrike once again hit in the heart of Beirut," NYT reports.

"It appears the fighting is set to continue until it formally goes into effect at 4 a.m. local time in Israel and Lebanon."

The other place is a ghost town and it’s like detention here. Going back to basics.

Just checking in a noticing again that there’s nothing on my feeds about Palestine. Not much on international events generally.
