Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

excerpt from my forthcoming volume, "Seventy-one Haiku for the Worm that is Not a Worm"

The intruder therein.

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

Just lovely.

I represent dozens (yes, dozens) of people raped by guards in the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

It sure would be nice if DOJ gave a tenth as much of a shit when it comes to compensating them.

I'm thinking today of all my fellow veterans but especially the more than 5,000 trans service members and their families who were kicked out of the military this year despite being highly qualified and serving honorably. This injustice will be a stain on our nation's history.

This is his pardon, purchas’d by such sin
For which the pardoner himself is in.

NEW: The First Circuit has denied the Trump Admin’s motion to stay in our SNAP case. This means that full benefits should be paid after the SCOTUS stay expires. The court does not mince words about what the government has done here. Congrats to our clients, co-counsel, and @democracyforward.org.

What we choose to value in this country is so very broken.

While Gov Greg Gianforte and Dr Ben Carson enjoy a lavish dinner in downtown Billings with Montana Republicans, one in eight Americans are facing dire food insecurity.

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess...”

"here is your package with tariffs the amount will be $945"

This country has stricter requirements for getting food aid than for being able to starting a fucking war

Hope folks feel less alone today, that people join with others to take further and deeper actions, and that everyone fights like hell to protect those most vulnerable to this regime.

This is Tucker. He was offered a tortilla but told to take it gently, and no one has ever understood the assignment better. 13/10 (TT: tucker_thegentleman)

I had a lot of convos with people who said they were sympathetic, but Defund the Police was a "bad slogan". I told them it wasn't a slogan. It was an answer. It was an answer to the constant question "what can we do to actually lower crime and make our neighborhood's safer?"

Anyway. Here we are.

I love, like, adore this so much! Let's go library kids!
