A Hasidic Jew Protested Against an Israeli Flag. He May Be Deported. (Gift Article)

Yehonatan Ovadia, who opposed the mounting of the flag in a small New York town, belongs to a Hasidic branch that is anti-Zionist. He is now in ICE custody.

YOU hate Nader for throwing the 2000 election. I hate Nader for ushering in the era of Consumer as a primary political identity, touting the tort system as an alternative to normal democratic deliberation, and making things generally work worse in the USA.

Of all the dumbfuck FP decisions Israel has made, letting its occupation force goons kill US citizens is possibly the dumbest. We should, by the way, extract some extraditions for this shit. We can--a lot more than 9 additional Israelis will be taken by the war if the US cuts them off from trade.

FWIW, I think a fuckup on this scale in time to wreck them electorally was *almost* inevitable from Day 1, precisely because this is the Special Birthday Boy presidency in which there are almost no limits on Trump's madness and every proposed policy disaster has a real shot at going all the way.

At any rate people underrate the likelihood that Biden's own vice president will be saying in just a few months time that he refrained from using all tools available to him. We can reasonably bet that she'll do so because she already has and also she implicitly called him racist in her book.

Unfortunately, you do have to court the voters who provided your opponent's margin of victory in the last election (and if you're going to do that, i think it's good to do so with unobjectionable policies, like here).

the thing about the "you're out of touch if you haven't heard this song" discourse is that radio has been dead for well over a decade. it's extremely normal to listen to a lot of music but still never hear the songs at the top of the charts.

In terms of end result, will people respect the magnitude of the Holocaust more or less when it is invoked on a constant basis by Israelis to defend the Israeli occupation and apartheid regime of Palestinian land and Palestinian people?

There is a difference between imposing a boycott on products from the settlements and opening the suitcases of Israeli tourists in order to humiliate them intentionally. And this reminds me, I don't know why, of another story: Hundreds of Dutch Holocaust survivors, who returned to Amsterdam after the war, were required to pay bills, municipal taxes, and fines for the period during which they were absent from their homes due to deportation to the camps.
Even Jews who returned from
Auschwitz were required to pay bills, including gas bills that were not paid by the residents who took over their homes and lived there during the war.

You know when public attention can reverse a prosecutorial decision like this you almost get the sense that the decision to shrug it off in the first place was not based on an assessment of the quality of the evidence so much as an assessment of the seriousness of the crime.

The GOP cut funding to the IRS because *audits work* and they fundamentally don't believe rich people should have to play by the rules.

Line chart titled "Revenue per audit," subtitled "In-person audits, 2010-2014." It plots average revenue and average cost per audit by taxpayer income percentile, poorer to richer, from the 0–5th percentile to the top 0.1%. Source: Boning et al. 2023, "A Welfare Analysis of Tax Audits Across the Income Distribution."

Across the bottom half of the income distribution, revenue and cost track closely, both around $3,000–$6,000 per audit. Above the median, revenue pulls ahead of cost: about $10,000 vs. $5,000 near the 90th percentile, and about $17,000 vs. $8,000 at the 95th–99th. At the top, revenue jumps to about $31,000 for the 99–99.9th percentile and about $90,000 for the top 0.1%.
