It is bizarre how people expect fascism to be trapped in a 1940s aesthetic. We’ve been trained to recognise it - and importantly, as a perversion of European civilisation. Nazis and swastikas are “they”, never “us”. So when *we* are faced with their modern-day heirs, we refuse to acknowledge it…

From Barbara Ehrenreich's reaction to Abu Ghraib
A certain kind of feminism, or perhaps I should say a certain kind of feminist naivete, died in Abu Ghraib. It was a feminism that saw men as the perpetual perpetrators, women as the perpetual victims and male sexual violence against women as the root of all injustice. Rape has repeatedly been an instrument of war and, to some feminists, it was beginning to look as if war was an extension of rape. There seemed to be at least some evidence that male sexual sadism was connected to our species’ tragic propensity for violence. That was before we had seen female sexual sadism in action.

Emil Bove did the meme.
A man with a serious expression, wearing a red polo shirt, stands in a room with a drop ceiling, holding a cup. The scene is from the TV show The Wire, featuring the character Stringer Bell. Overlaid text reads: "Is you taking notes on a criminal fucking conspiracy?"

The Israeli military killed 206 Palestinians in Gaza between 15 January, when a ceasefire deal was agreed, and 19 January, when it finally came into force.

Hoo boy. 1) Trump has not designated any cartels as FTOs, but directed SecState to make recommendations. 2) Unilateral US attacks on cartels in Mexico would be illegal. 2) Unilateral US attacks on cartels in Mexico would backfire, including with respect to US-Mexican cooperation on migration.

After tens of thousands killed, Israel and Hamas agree to a ceasefire
The deal should bring the release of hostages and the drawing back of Israeli forces. But it is unclear if it will hold for long.

This is not a new legal position from Mexico, but it takes on a somewhat different significance given proposals to conduct missile strikes or SOF raids in Mexico against drug cartels.
