And the Lancet's editorial that goes with it

This week's cover @thelancet.com
I'd prefer it not have taken decades but personally I like blows being struck against elite impunity and would like that for us in the US very much
I've had almost identical discussions about Modi with Indian colleagues. There are deep differences in what people think the job of a leader is, and the real consequences of politics seem hard for many to grasp until they're next door.
Around 2010, I worked with two Russians that I talked to about Putin. One was angry about human rights abuses, the other liked that he made the world take Russia seriously again. I don't think the latter was anti-human rights, it just wasn't the criteria he was judging by.
Everyone here has had to decide what they will and won’t do. Will you take someone in your house? Will you bring them groceries? Will you patrol streets with a whistle? Will you do some other kind of work, of which there are many. And how many of these types.
They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.
Spain remains a welcome contrast to the rightward lurch happening across Europe. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!”
So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it

One of the hardest things to explain to people who aren’t here is the very real feeling that we are in a war against the federal government. Not only are we occupied by unaccountable armed, masked paramilitaries, but we are constantly aware our neighbors might be abducted in the blink of an eye.

Yeah not only are these terrible, they bear little resemblance to other asks that party caucuses are making. I just got a Hispanic Caucus list of "non-negotiables" that has like 20 other things on it.
The Senate Dems are squandering the moment in real time.

It appears that this legend owns a little bookstore — and you can order books from him instead of Bezos. Link in next post.
Don’t come here for a conference.
Don’t host a conference here.
Don’t come here on vacation.
Don’t normalize fascism for one minute.

These days are making for odd traveling companions. Would not have expected a face turn from Bill Kristol.
Dems should introduce lots of such legislation, demand hearings and debate, make a huge fuss, use paid media to call out GOP members who are blocking their consideration--and make clear this GOP Congress is enabling the madness.
Yes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.

But more broadly, this highlights a fundamental weakness of Microsoft’s design. If MS can easily produce this to law enforcement, then anyone who compromises their cloud infrastructure (and customer service infrastructure, or can forge a plausible LE request) can potentially access that data.
Microsoft is handing over Bitlocker keys to law enforcement. www.forbes.com/sites/thomas...
if you are worried that ice agents will start a shootout outside an elementary school so they can kidnap kindergartners then you should state that plainly and clearly
if you cant instruct your local police to surround schools to protect them from ice because youre scared the cops will turn around and instead help kidnap children then you should state that plainly and clearly
She said she and her volunteers have been tailed by ICE, and that agents have even shown up at her residence because some of the delivery vans they use are registered in her name.

These fucking assholes drove by an elementary school during the short window of morning drop off. They want to intimidate us but all they’re doing is pulling every single parent off the sidelines.
Yes, this is my overwhelming impression listening to it. He repeatedly demanded full ownership of Greenland, and made an explicit threat to punish the Europeans if they don't give in. He then threatened to punish Canada over its prime minister's speech!
If you enjoyed the video of this person slamming greg bovino at a gas station, watch this
this is some bidness - a wee spot of frank talk about risk, fear, whiteness and doing more
a brief introduction to a vast set of truths that many of us need to spend much much more time sitting with
At least a quarter of the entire population of Greenland’s capital marched in protest, waving their national flag 🇬🇱 and chanting “Greenland is not for sale”
And we know how a Trump administration would treat those protesters if allowed. www.theguardian.com/...
