I first spoke with Moshe Lavi in November 2023, one month after his brother-in-law was kidnapped by Hamas. He told me then how his sister would take their daughters out to look at the stars at night and wish goodnight to dad - something she continued for two years. Omri Miran

Father of hostage Guy Gilboa Dalal: Guy handed over to Red Cross, will be handed over to IDF in 15 minutes
Ilan Dalal, father of Israeli hostage Guy Gilboa Dalal, said that his son "was handed over to the Red Cross, and in fifteen minutes he is expected to be handed over to the IDF, and then he will arrive here."
He added, "This is a dream come true, we are euphoric, very excited and dying to hug him."

Lishay’s last post before putting the girls to bed:

“For two years now, every night we go out under the moon and say, "Good night, Daddy Omri," hoping he hears, hoping he feels.
Today, for the last time.

Tomorrow, Roni and Alma will say it to Daddy himself 🎗️ “

Vance is having an incredible morning on the Sunday shows doing "oh so now it's illegal to [mundane thing]?"

A real quote when Vance is asked about whether Tom Homan kept the $50,000 he got in a fast food bag: "Is it illegal to take a payment for doing services?"

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum:

"Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

@emilylhauser.bsky.social in case you haven’t seen, I have yet another zine out! It was commissioned to be distributed during the No Kings 2 protests. It’s called “We Marched! Now What?” and is filled with stuff people can do. drive.google.com/file/d/1TJnH...

Hand holding black and white illustrated zine of two people holding up signs saying “We Marched! Now What?”

People can, indeed, be fun loving people and still protest.

In fact! I would say that those among us who have & encourage others to have fun whilst protesting are going to be the salvation of us all 😊

ILU, Portland! ❤️

Outside of Portland's ICE facility last night, Kenny from South Park got married to a unicorn.

The betrothed Portland couple said they decided to get hitched on site to bring some joy and fun to a dark time.

Well that facility (afaik) was emptied when those pilots went home, so it may in fact be the same facility.

Sidebar!
#NoKings in June was one of the two biggest single-day protests in US history (the other one was the Women's March).

This one...has to be bigger! Which we can do!

If you *can't* go, can you
-share information?
-make signs/dinner for protesters?
-etc?

Gang, re: a Qatari presence in Idaho, may I recommend that you watch this from V Spehar/Under the Desk News + the one I linked immediately following it.

tl;dr
No, Qatar is not building a base in Idaho.

Emily L. Hauser (she/her) ❌👑 @emilylhauser.bsky.social · 17h

A facility isn't a base - if I understand correctly, there was an agreement that Qatari pilots would come here for training on planes they're getting from us; a facility will be built to house them and their families while they're here for that training.

(ICYMI I spat on Sam Zell's name as the father of venture capitalists taking over and destroying newspapers - but I called him Lee Zeldin. Which was quite the oopsie daisy!)
