iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

this makes me ill. this isn't some policy dispute. this is a court of v comfortable ppl making a non-decision, avoiding the crushing harm, int'l law violation, & total abuse of power involved in even one of these 3rd party 'removals'. it's sick.

i mentioned this last week, but it's instructive. the tory govt tried the relatively targeted approach of third-state removal to rwanda. after a pretty substantial evidentiary presentation from both sides, THEY FOUND IT ILLEGAL. and what trump is doing is far worse.

it's evidently too much to ask the rw justices to consider the irreparable harm to individuals treated to such inhumanity. they are complicit in this criminality. shame on all six of them. and shame on us for having a system that allows this illegality.

There's always a potential for an October Surprise. But increasingly, almost every potential one would hurt Republicans: -Houthis close off the Bab El-Mandeb -Interest rates climb -There's a big sell-off of U.S. bonds. Only one October Surprise can save Republicans: -Ending the war in Iran

Israel's control of Gaza was maintained to such an extent that the ICJ's ruling in July 2024 declared that Gaza has been continuously occupied since 1967 according to the conventional legal definition.

I have no doubt that the NY Times would stand up for other journalists and news publications but like this analytical dancing around is confusing. Let's be for real: Trump's White House is a threat to press freedoms and access. It does not respect honest and accurate journalism.

Where does this leave us? - Protracted conflict with Iran until we see a game changer whether inside Tehran or after US midterms. But despite new proposal, none of regional officials we speak to anticipate a deal. They want it but don’t anticipate it.
