Timothy Snyder: One thing that I do worry about... is that the way we fought the Iran war was obviously out of date. We haven’t learned how to fight a modern war. With Hegseth and Trump… and their just fantastic vision of testosterone plus battleships, I just don’t think we’re going to get there.

I got really annoyed that so many stories about the "Cornell 7" case don't link to the underlying court documents. So I compiled the key filings from Jane Doe's civil suit and from a separate suit brought by one of the accused. Read them here: annabower.substack.com/p/read-the-c...

In September, we filed a FOIA request for CCTV footage from the ICE warehouse in Roxbury, NJ, after observers reported seeing ICE detain people on the grounds. ICE denied the request and told us to ask the GSA. That's ironic, since ICE bypassed the GSA when it bought the warehouses.

Screenshot of text from ICE's response letter: "After carefully reviewing your request, ICE has determined that the records you seek are not under ICE's purview and are not maintained by ICE. Accordingly, ICE is unable to process your request for the records described above.

This request should be directed to the General Services Administation [sic] (GSA), which may be the agency/component more likely to maintain records responsive to your request. Please visit https://www.gsa.gov/reference/freedom-of-information-act-foia for additional information regarding how to submit a FOIA request to that agency/component."

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...

But there’s also something about truth to pain. We talk a lot about truth to power, but I think it’s actually a lot harder to speak truth to pain. I say that as someone who went to medical school, realizing that in a lot of our politics right now, we’ve got to get a lot better at speaking truth to pain if we’re going to get through some of these challenges that we have.

What does “truth to pain” mean?

It’s one thing to look power in the eye and say: You’re wrong about this. But there’s a way in which pain is very difficult to reason with. Because when somebody is in their pain, they’re in their trauma. They see that pain, and they may not see what’s causing it.

I remember just very explicitly being in a trauma ward with a gunshot wound patient and watching this big guy with his hand on his gunshot wound. All the folks are trying to pull his hand off his pain, that point of his gunshot wound, this clear vulnerability.

And this emergency room doctor had the presence of mind to be like: Everyone, stop. And she looks him in the eyes, and she’s like: I get that really hurts, and I’m so sorry that you’re here. You don’t want to be here. We don’t want you to be here. But if you don’t let us fix this, you could die. So I’m going to take your hand, and I’m going to move it off, OK? Because I need to get there so that you can live.

She was speaking truth to pain. He understands he’s at the hospital, he needs care, but he also doesn’t want anybody to touch the wound. Which is a natural thing. And I think it is a really great metaphor for how we think about a lot of these challenges we talked about today.
