My thoughts after seeing NAZA, ICYMI:
thehandbasket.co
I saw the documentary the Israeli government doesn’t want you to see
'NAZA' dispels once and for all the myth that the IDF didn't target civilians in Gaza.

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

Let's be honest about what JD Vance is really doing here. He assumes keeping El-Sayed tied up in a dispute that highlights his Muslim heritage is an automatic plus for the GOP. This is complicated for El-Sayed, but there's a way to turn it to his advantage: newrepublic.com/article/2149...

Wow. Proponents of the ICE taser gloves are openly saying that one reason they love the gloves is that they doesn’t leave any marks or proof that they were used, making it harder for people to sue when they’re shocked excessively.
Mother Jones

"In today's society, you know, everybody's filming everything, everybody has a cell phone," Glueck said. If an officer punches someone on camera, that can go viral in an instant; even a standard taser leaves puncture wounds. But "the glove is low optic, and it looks better on camera, and it looks better to those witnesses. With a glove, there are no burn marks or scars."But local police across the country are still eagerly buying the gloves—in large part so that they can harm people and avoid being sued for it. It's been successful "from the patrolmen to the jailers," Lumpkin County Sheriff Stacy Jarrard said in a Compliant Technologies promotional video. "It's been a great tool as far as mitigating liability," according to Nelson County Jailer Justin Hall.
Bob Couey of the Floyd County Sheriff's Department sung the GLOVE's praises, too: "I highly recommend these gloves to anybody that's looking for a utility they can use that is conducive to not leading to lawsuits."

understanding that this group of people is included within the tally of "unauthorized" immigrants was a bit of a blackpill moment for me www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...
Congress has rarely directly addressed the reality that millions of so-called “unauthorized” immigrants are, in fact, actively complying with the requirements of the U.S. government. When legislators attempted to pass immigration reform, during the second terms of both George W. Bush and Barack Obama, they did so on the same premise as in 1986: retroactive legalization for the people who were “living in the shadows,” in exchange for more enforcement to stop other people from coming in. Since 2014, with a single exception—passing a law during the first Trump Administration that legalized a few thousand Liberian immigrants—representatives have sat on their hands and let the executive branch take the flak.
