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. www.foreignaffairs.com/israel/washi...

Is Washington Responsible for What Israel Does With American Weapons?

This man was courageous enough to stand up to Trump and Vance. So it's important to post this message and photo to 27 million people. Don't just "like" it -- that only means that YOU'VE seen it. Postb it, blow it up and get it out there! #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦

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. www.irishtimes.com/culture/film...

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.

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.

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.

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.

I think it’s very clear now that Trump & Musk want to aggressively divide, dominate and rule the Western world, rather than work with anyone respectfully of sovereignty. From Canada to UK, Germany and Greenland/Denmark, the rest of the West need to pull together to resist.
