Turns out they/them pronouns are useful when you want to distance yourself from responsibility for the war crimes.
Hegseth: "As President Trump always has our back, we always have the back of our commanders who are making decisions in difficult situations. All these strikes, they're making judgement calls ensuring they defend the American people. They've done the right things. We'll keep doing that."

The diplomatic "achievement" of the ceasefire was to recalibrate the tempo of the genocide sufficiently to get it off the front pages and the news bulletins, thus alleviating the political pressure on Israel's western accomplices.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

L'Espagne, comme l'Allemagne, l'Italie, la France, le Chili ou l'Argentine, a déjà "essayé" l'extrême-droite, pour reprendre une expression chère aux fachos fachés.

Ci-dessous, la carte de toutes les fosses communes recensées des victimes du franquisme. L'extrême-droite, c'est ça.

He can call it a hoax all he wants. The Epstein files are sticking to Trump like a bad rash that he will never get rid of.

This is brilliant 🏆

Israel is detaining dozens of civilians from Gaza in an underground prison where detainees are held without charge, trial, or exposure to daylight, and with limited food or contact

Among those is a nurse & an 18-year-old food seller.

Both beaten & subjected to conditions consistent with torture.

The library where I gave my "News Media in the Misinformation Age" talk last night in Bourne, MA had a well-stocked free food pantry.

Public libraries remain a beacon of humanity in our ever-more inhumane society.

Go fund me: Feature remake of Twelve Angry Men, but it is the D.C. Sandwich Toss jury and instead of jurors at each other's throats they have the most unbridled fun that any 12 American adults locked in a room can have short of group sex.

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.

The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.

"I could smell the onions and mustard."

It's hard to overstate how fully engaged Chicago and the surrounding suburbs are in this ICE madness. There are neighborhood watch alerts, spontaneous crowds gathering outside schools at pick up & drop off plus madly blowing whistles and honking car horns, this city is fighting back and hard.
