The *apists were caught on camera and defended their actions. The Israeli public filled the streets to defend their right to *ape. This is Israel. This is Zionism. And it is irredeemable.

Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken.

“I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold.

The government won’t say if any agents have been punished.

Why I'm having the best time on jury duty as a career public defender!! #shorts YouTube video by Eliza Orlins

I got called for jury duty, and it turned into the most cathartic experience of my entire legal career.

They asked me—a career public defender—if I had any feelings about police officers. Oh, I had feelings. Watch what happened.

“We are forced to stay despite the danger, when we defend our land, and we do so peacefully. None of us carries weapons. All of us carry peace and goodness and love.”

These were the words of Father Pierre al-Rahi one day before Israel killed him in Lebanon today on March 9.

Israeli intelligence had information about Khamenei’s location from hacked traffic cameras and deeply penetrated mobile phone networks. The Americans had something even more concrete — a human source.

Ominous. Also why is Egypt here? It’s not in the Iran-Israel crossfire.

This announcement means that the US State Department is ordering hundreds of thousands of US citizens in the Middle East (over 200,000 in Israel alone) to “depart now” on virtually nonexistent commercial transit.

Those who possess more than one brain cell will be able to recognise that the Iranian regime is appalling, that Israel and the US are also appalling, and that this aggression is likely to make Iranians less, not more, free.

This draft Trump EO on voting is even nuttier than you imagined. Zeroing out all voter rolls and making everyone re-register in person. Mandatory annual online re-registration. Requiring anyone casting an absentee ballot to find a notary. No dropboxes. All post-election disputes federalized. 😟

Massive strike on Tehran’s Vanak Sq this morning, in a densely populated residential area. All my family live in this neighbourhood, no contact with them since last night. Every Iranian is facing this cruel reality; an internet shutdown w/ comms almost impossible amidst terror of heavy bombing.
