SCOTUS just agreed that Trump is *irreparably harmed* by not being able to disappear folks without a hearing to places like South Sudan, even though they’re already locked up & argument is in a couple months. A friendly bonus scoop of cruelty, from the Justices to their favorite little boy.

Russ Vought's latest "pocket rescission" maneuver is wonky and may not get much coverage, but it's another major milestone in Congress ceding its power to Trump. Some Republicans (Susan Collins prominent among them) are vowing to fight back, but it's tbd how real that is. (I am skeptical.)

Anyway, as always, there are very good arguments for prioritizing partition as opposed to democratization, but the actual immediate steps needed in both cases are the same; an arms embargo, sanctions, and international coercion to shift the internal logic of Israel away from occupation and hegemony.

The main reason you haven’t heard about campus sexual violence in a few years is because Trump and SCOTUS have made it much, much harder for survivors to come forward. You might vaguely remember that Title IX was a big battleground in his first term. And that we lost.
