NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

Just a reminder the word remigrate is open Nazi language and should be seen as a threat of violence.

When the neo Nazis use this term their is another two words they use after it which are :or die

It’s important to understand the context that the word Remigrate is a threat to leave or be murdered.

A lot of small market teams have tried to be the 2014-15 Royals in the decade since, but no one’s been able to really ride that formula to a championship. Now it’s not looking good for the Brewers either.

I think the Brewers are really good and I have admired that there is a big element of Annoying Magic to their goodness, but man when it is not working it sure looks a lot like guys with .720 OPS'es grounding out.

At a press conference today, the mayor of Everett said there was a knife found in the child’s possession but *no* gun. I followed up with ICE and asked if they stand by the screenshot shared yesterday. Spokesperson said DHS was working on a response. Five hours later, still nothing.

Marisa Kabas @marisakabas.bsky.social · 1d

This is the response I received from ICE when I inquired about the 13-year-old they abducted from Everett, Mass. on Friday:

Good afternoon, Marisa.
Please see the below from DHS on the 13-year-old alien.
Please feel free to direct any questions to them.
Respectfully,

The use of AI to marionette a woman whose tortured existence was spent trying to carve her own life and identity out of the space men forced her into is both damningly macabre and a surprisingly perfect encapsulation of the problems with this ghoulish use of technology.

“we do need the core aspect of them that makes [Ezra] Klein so uncomfortable: [Bertrand] Russell’s expectation that those who relate to others as though they are not worthy of respect ought to be treated with the regard that orientation deserves”

we don't have to celebrate our failures or, worse still, confuse them with our successes. This is one valuable function of shame: it reminds us of who we want to be when we fall short, a goalpost that is necessarily anchored to the lofty height that our conduct fell beneath. We also encourage and defend these general social standards when we hold others to them, and not just ourselves.
It would certainly be ideal if we could do away with failure and falling short - if we could always be as good as our values. It would be ideal if Klein felt the burning commitment to justice that Russell felt, so much so that he similarly would not see the point in pretending to be " on the same side of a larger project" as the likes of Charlie Kirk and Ben Shapiro.
And it would be ideal if he understood what liberal and egalitarian values are and what they demand of him and catered to that, rather than to the personal expedience of reading lines from the script of a fascist movement eroding basic democratic freedoms and aiming to subordinate whichever large swaths of the country are not simply removed outright.
But if he can't manage that, he could still spare us the sanctimony. He certainly needn't advertise this particular shortcoming in the New York Times. He could, if nothing else, have the common decency to be ashamed.

The challenge for Klein and his fellow travelers is to specify what sort of ground rules could make life livable and social situations manageable for such a wide array of people whose values, commitments, and interests differ so sharply-that is, on terms other than various sorts of segregation or the most naked forms of domination and subjugation - if not precisely "social shame and cultural pressure," now contemptuously referred to as "political correctness" or "wokeness." We might more accurately call it exactly the "civility" that centrists like Klein otherwise pretend to champion, even while they seek to hollow out even this meager social protection of its efficacy. These codes of neighborliness or of common decency are, in other words, the bare minimum for us to exist peacefully as profoundly different people who nevertheless share the same time and place.
Common decency, then, stigmatizes people that do not participate in it-removes them from voluntary association, as Russell exemplified. We indeed have to live with one another, but terms and conditions apply.

It could have fought for its patients. It chose instead to roll over.
