The "mainstream" discourse on Ceuta shows quite clearly how the discourse has shifted, how norms and humanity have eroded, and how fear of (or perhaps, agreement with) the far right shapes the politics and discourse of the day.

The Sound Dues on the Øresund were typically 1-2% of cargo value and made up the bulk of income for the Danish crown.

The way the Democrats have utterly failed to push back on the insane Greenland saber rattling and instead are resorting to "he can have a little Greenland as a treat" is really indicative of how not up to the moment these geriatrics are.

"not legal" is important here not for any moral reasons but because free access to waterways, freedom of navigation, is a thing that sort of underpins a lot of global commerce

Also worth noting it's a Geneva convention violation to target medical facilities (if that part is true), regardless of who they treat.

I can’t emphasise leading w/ empathy for civilians *everywhere* on a day like today enough. The first casualty here in the UAE, where I live, is an Asian civilian at a residential building. Many Ukrainians, Palestinians, Iraqis, Syrians, Sudanese & other war-traumatised people live here. 1/2

I recently won an award from my university for use of AI in the classroom, so, like everyone, I have been thinking a lot about how AI will shape the next couple decades and what that means for college students now (and my much younger kids).

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

INBOX: @khoureld.bsky.social, the former Washington Post East Africa Bureau Chief who was laid off yesterday, did not mince words on Twitter/X: "To the arms dealers, liars, thieves, killers of children: I’m keeping my files."
Katharine Houreld (@khoureld)

To those kind, strong, determined, courageous people I interviewed or worked with over the years: you will always inspire me.
To every stranger who helped: thank you.
To the arms dealers, liars, thieves, killers of children: I’m keeping my files.

See you all on the other side.

A measles outbreak at an ICE family detention center means not only risk of serious and very infectious disease, but also complete lockdown conditions akin to solitary confinement. Awful.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.
Tweet from the US Holocaust Memorial Museum: "Anne Frank was targeted and murdered solely because she was Jewish. Leaders making false equivalencies to her experience for political purposes is never acceptable. Despite tensions in Minneapolis, exploiting the Holocaust is deeply offensive, especially as antisemitism surges."

“...There comes a time in history when the man who dares to say that two and two make four is punished with death... And the question is not one of knowing what punishment or reward attends the making of this calculation. The question is one of knowing whether two and two do make four."

"It is an awful thing to have to confront a paramilitary in the street who can gun you down for doing nothing more than recording them. It is, however, intolerable to live in a nation where the citizenry no longer believes in the righteousness of doing so."

1/n as someone who loves democracy & loves my country, it’s hard to grapple w the fact that an anti-democratic candidate won a national popular election. one thing keeping me equal parts hopeful & frustrated is that there are more people in the US who do not support trump than people who do.
