To be clear, the whistleblower is saying that the only food the IDF was letting in was pizza delivery for GHF staffers (including Palestinians). They ordered pizza in order to feed folks there.

Same. I just can't fathom why more housing is something that is supposed to make me upset.

also, “so woke you have walked backwards into supporting segregation” is definitely a thing online

Opinion | Why American Jews No Longer Understand One Another

@readtheorchard.org I was thinking of you and our conversation about how Klein is grappling, and wondering if you saw this piece. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/20/o...

American Indians here means indigenous Americans, not folks from India.

It is interesting that the discourse is focusing on his father (much like Obama's did). But I guess the story is he was thrown by the US census categories being born in Uganda.

*all South Asians, really. Marrying outside your community is still rare, though more common among academics or public figures (like ZM's parents).

Zohran's mother, the filmmaker Mira Nair, is from an Indian Hindu Punjabi family. She is definitely not Gujarati or Muslim! Most South Asians would consider their parents marriage to be interfaith/intercaste.

Can confirm this email is authentic — and about nothing in it is true.

Social Security income is still taxed. This bill does nothing to change that.

It’s willful disinformation on the part of SSA. It’s a lie.

Abundance is left now and we're going to build multifamily housing everywhere

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

It's shocking how we are being gaslit about what actually happened during COVID. Listen to this.

"Abundance"--aka getting big shit built quicker--and fighting oligarchs and corporate power are not in opposition.

This is just an exceedingly stupid position that some have taken up, honestly mostly to preserve their own sources of funding or klout.

He looks like the reincarnation of our Teddy, who we put to sleep 18 months ago.

I'm so glad that you are both (mostly) okay. And frustrated that you couldn't do more about it.

The piece is very well written.

Reading this on a public bus.

The problem of me feeling guilted into voting for a Democrat.

Case in point: I live in a 4 bdrm, 2 ba cape cod with 2 adults, 2 kids, about the same sq ft.

Last year I visited Hiroshima & Nagasaki to better understand not only my country’s history in Japan, but the stakes of invoking those as templates for Gaza.

Today I arrived in Dresden—another WWII horror show blithely invoked as a model.

What I’m learning makes me feel sick. 🧵

I thought also of this beautiful passage from Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse Five.

So much to digest. An ode to humanoid pillars of salt. A disturbing episode for God. And a warning about the paralysis & punishments of looking back w/ conscience on massacre—regardless of evils attributed to civilians.

Yes. But not sure if it's normative.

There is no such thing as the State
And no one exists alone;
Hunger allows no choice
To the citizen or the police;
We must love one another or die.

Thank you.

Targeting an individual for assassination at a building known to be his romantic partner’s residence by collapsing the whole structure seems to me to fall squarely within the Geneva Convention’s prohibition on targeting civilian objects, and probably other defined war crimes as well

It's important to understand this is a difference of degree, not kind. And that it shouldn't have been acceptable then either

This sort of thing happened a lot in the early years following 9/11. I was also detained at YUL while they figured out my status in the States.

It wasn't as bad as your experience, but it's a difference of degree, not kind. Anecdotally, I found land crossing better than air in the 2000s.

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

How Montgomery County can build workforce housing at scale View this post on ggwash.org

Montgomery County could double the number of homes it's currently permitting, and create thousands of new homes for middle-class households, if it just allowed duplexes and townhomes throughout the county.

Premier ministre Trudeau, la population de la Basse-Colombie-Britannique occupée crie à la libération. Nous n’avons même pas les moyens d’acheter des œufs pour nos familles. S'il vous plaît, envoyez vos troupes de choc d'élite et libérez-nous des oppresseurs yankees. (2/2)

2/ A key goal of 18F was to provide state of the art end user experience for usg websites. So basically making sure public facing websites that the American people must use are super user friendly and effective. In other words, something really important at many levels.

A guy who used to be a comedian & is good at improv and dealing with hecklers and who has also spent the last 3 years in a war zone turns out to be a guy you can’t out-alpha, imagine that
