What Derek Chauvin did to George Floyd was a public extrajudicial execution. Keep that in mind when you say we haven't had a public execution since 1936. We have, actually. Many times. They're called police murders.

BREAKING: ICE over the past year investigated hundreds of nonprofits across the U.S. that help people register to vote. The internal documents, obtained by the Democracy Forward, showed that ICE's investigative arm also contemplated sending undercover agents to investigate the organizations.

ICE probed hundreds of voter registration groups across the U.S.

The agency also contemplated deploying undercover agents to "initiate prosecutions" against the groups and "dismantle" them.

🇵🇸 At least 92 Palestinians have died in Israeli torture prisons and military detention camps over the three years since the genocide began, according to a new report from the Palestinian Prisoners' Society and the Commission of Detainees' Affairs.

That count covers only those whose identities have been confirmed. The fate of dozens more detainees from Gaza remains unknown due to enforced disappearance.

The report documents an escalating system of arrest, torture, starvation and denial of medical care that has led to killings inside prisons and camps. It also found:

➤ More than 26,000 arrests in the West Bank, including Jerusalem
➤ More than 800 women and 2,000 children arrested
➤ More than 3,100 Palestinians held in administrative detention without charge or trial, and 1,419 held as "unlawful combatants"
➤ Israel is holding the bodies of 100 Palestinians who died in custody

The groups also pointed to Israel's approval of a law allowing the execution of Palestinian prisoners, and to the growing use of "incitement" charges to arrest Palestinians over their speech, which they say has created a climate of fear and self-censorship.

With no independent oversight and the Red Cross still barred from visiting prisoners, the report says what is happening inside Israel's prisons "cannot be separated from the genocide."

🔗 Palestinian journalist Mujahed Al-Saadi documented his harrowing experience in Israeli detention two years after being arrested from his home in Jenin for Drop Site. Read our latest: "Cruelty, Deprivation, Indignity: My 22 Months in Israeli Prison" below.

This paragraph builds and builds the insane comedy but you're not ready for the kicker.

Atelier Missor, active since 2021, describes itself on X as a “classical foundry in Paris, on its way to building a new Rome.” Its founder, Missor Movahed Ghaleh Nouri, has claimed he was drawn to pursue classical sculpture after receiving a vision of Napoleon I while wandering the Place Vendôme in Paris. His staff wear identical tan suspenders, billowy shirts, and unkempt facial hair, and—per previous versions of their website—spent much of the first half of the 2020s producing bronze and clay busts of such figures as (of course) Napoleon, Nietzsche, and Jordan Peterson.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

from 2001. no one’s doing product testimonials like this anymore. t.co/PEswCtbEZz

Toyota's unease at being associated with the Taliban and Al Qaeda is evident. In its September statement, the company said,
'Toyota does not have a sales or distribution channel in Afghanistan, and we do not export vehicles to that country."
Somewhat less laconic was Wade Hoyt, Toyota's spokesman in New York, who put the best corporate spin on the situation this week.
"It is not our proudest product placement," he said. "But it shows that the Taliban are looking for the same qualities as any truck buyer: durability and reliability."
