Is Washington Responsible for What Israel Does With American Weapons? The IDF’s conduct in Gaza should prompt scrutiny of U.S. arms transfers.

With Israel ending the ceasefire and pummeling Gaza with fresh airstrikes, reposting my November 2023 piece from @foreignaffairs.com on the the legal restrictions on US arms transfers.

Secretary Rubio like his predecessor has disregarded those rules.

David Lynch: the surrealist who combined depravity with wholesome iconography of small-town USA Death of film-maker David Lynch: With Twin Peaks and Wild at Heart it seemed, for a brief magic moment, as if Lynch’s version of the avant-garde could really sit at the centre of mainstream culture.

Me on David Lynch, a piece I'd rather never have had to write. An uncompromising American original. As a kid from before the VHS era, my earliest memory of his work is watching that single tear go down Hopkins's face in THE ELEPHANT MAN on release in 1980.

A quick look on the racism site shows that Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick is apparently outraged at the delays in the criminal justice system.

Y’know, the ones caused by the policies that he consistently supported. The ones that he was absolutely fine with when he was in government.

Hey everyone! The discussion I had with Officers Fanone and Dunn about their thoughts and feelings on the fourth anniversary of Jan 6 attack was so important, that I lifted the paywall. Please take a look, it’s very powerful

I’ve gotten a lot of well-meaning replies about how misogynistic men in tech are the product of women’s rejection, and I have to point out that misogyny is systemic. Men who are married are misogynists and so are men who have never struggled to date. We live in a patriarchy that depends on it.

The criminal justice system failed to hold Trump accountable. It is not true that the powerful stand before the same bar of justice and no one is above the law.

Norms will not protect us. We need to build a new opposition hardened by reality and prepared to fight with every legal tool available.

Dear Republicans, guess who does believe in climate change?

California and Florida insurance companies. They don’t give a damn about your politics. Whether you claim to believe in climate change or not, we’re all in the same boat dealing with the consequences.

Austerity costs, and with austerity there will never be growth.

You have to build your way out of decline. Clement Attlee and FDR both knew it and launched the largest building programs ever in their nations.

89% of the UK want to Rejoin the Single Market, and that includes anyone who does or ever would vote Labour.

Ignore the whiny billionaire Media, and do it.

So excited

Counting down for this .

LOVE GETTING OLD!!!

I've just created this. This is where I think we are now, and why I am very pessimistic that we will fix the #ClimateCrisis

Hopefully someone can explain why I'm wrong.

Only someone with no understanding of liberal history would treat fact-checking and free speech as a binary opposition. The whole point of free speech is that it gets us closer to the truth. Where free speech has no purchase in the truth, its purpose collapses.
