Democrats being more up in arms about the protocols of imperial warfare rather than the actual substance of it - the dead Yemenis and Palestinians - is so on brand. This is a losing strategy for everyone.

This seems like a good time to remind folks of what Hannah Arendt once wrote:
Total domination does not allow for free initiative
in any field of life, for any activity that is not entirely predictable. Totali-
tarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of
their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence
and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.u

Timely reminder that a decade prior to the WOT, guantanamo was used detain 12,000+ haitian refugees precisely in order to extraterritorially circumvent their access to the u.s. asylum procedure. The vast majority were denied asylum.

Sheryl Weikal says Prosecute ICE @leftistlawyer.com · 18/01/2025
Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge). You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

1. The conventional explanation for food deserts—that these places are too poor or too rural to generate enough spending on groceries, or too Black to overcome racist corporate redlining — fail to grapple with a key fact: food deserts didn’t used to exist. My new piece in The Atlantic.
