I filed a FOIA request with the George W. Bush Library for files on Elliott Abrams back in 2017. I just got an email asking if I was still interested in the request since it's been so many years.
These kinds of emails are common but I always want to respond that it's not my fault it's been so long.

Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.)
This is an atrocity.

BREAKING: State Supreme Court Allows Preliminary Injunction to Stand in ACLU of Indiana’s Challenge to Abortion Law Based on Religious Beliefs Today the Indiana Supreme Court allowed a preliminary injunction to stand against Senate Enrolled Act 1 (SEA 1), Indiana’s near-total abortion ban, for plaintiffs whose sincerely held religious beliefs would require them to terminate a pregnancy under circumstances prohibited by the ban. The case will now go back to the trial court.
In 2022, the ACLU of Indiana filed the lawsuit on behalf of Hoosier Jews for Choice and a number of individuals. A preliminary injunction was upheld earlier this year by the Court of Appeals of Indiana, affirming plaintiffs were likely to succeed on their claims that Indiana’s abortion law violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). Under RFRA, the state cannot substantially burden a person's religious practice, unless it can prove that the burden is to further a compelling governmental interest in the least restrictive way possible.
We encourage anyone who feels that Indiana’s abortion ban infringes upon their sincere religious beliefs to contact us at intake[at]aclu-in.org.
In 2022, the Indiana Court of Appeals sided with the Hoosier Jews For Choice, which sued the state over its abortion ban, arguing that it violates a state law protecting religious freedom. I’m really surprised that case did not make headlines and shaped future challenges to abortion restrictions.
🕍 Mazel tov to the Jewish women in Kentucky AND Indiana who are challenging their state’s abortion bans, saying it violates their religious freedom. Both cases got their day in court this week, and we’re living for their constitutional chutzpah. bit.ly/49Z4sd0

Taoiseach Michel Martin statement on Lebanon I strongly condemn the reckless strike on a UNIFIL base in southern Lebanon that has left a number of Ghanaian peacekeepers seriously injured. The role of peacekeepers is sacrosanct, and all should go above and beyond to prevent them from coming into harm's way. I would like to pay tribute to the courage, resilience, and professionalism of the Irish peacekeepers who came to the aid of their Ghanaian colleagues today. I have been briefed on the latest situation, and all Irish personnel serving in Lebanon remain safe and accounted for. Michel Martin Taoiseach na hÉireann
Who I wonder launched this ‘reckless strike’ against UNIFIL peacekeepers, because this statement would seem to indicate it came from an unknown source or is a known ‘unknown’, eh!! Someone should really inform the Taoiseach! #nameandshame #weallknowwhodidit
They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175

the western press is truly, truly ill.
This is a perfect encapsulation of my academic work. SEE THIS! THIS IS GOOD! Oh, wait, they do not want you actually to learn.

I am also grateful to my many UNC faculty colleagues who attended, despite our fatigue with the many assaults we're facing and the attempts to intimidate & silence us. They and the students like our co-organizers in SUNRISE UNC are the reason I still love Carolina, despite the current challenges 2/2
Thanks to the nearly 150 folks who came out Saturday at UNC to #standupforscience. I am especially grateful to the amazing speakers who presented a well rounded vision of the current situation & the way forward. Someday folks will ask what we did in this defining moment and you all stood up! 1/2 🧪

Texans tolerate a lot of bad behavior by Christian pastors without prejudging Christians. Yet Texas Republicans in tight elections this year shamefully promote bigotry and discrimination against Muslims because it polls well. www.houstonchronicle.com/business/col...
Oil billionaires are backing the most hateful politician in Texas, who is running for an office most voters don’t understand. If Republicans nominate him, Texas could soon have an openly racist white supremacist in statewide office. www.houstonchronicle.com/business/col... @houstonchronicle.com
