Congratulations to the Morocco legal team - truly the greatest strikers in African football history. Who needs a world-class frontline when you have a committee that can score three goals from a mahogany desk two months after the final whistle?

Absolutely horrific. Canada’s massive border bill, C12, has been adopted after third reading at Senate. C12 will become country's largest machinery of deportation: deporting refugees w/o hearings, retroactive bars, mass status cancellation A mirror of anti-migrant ICE violence.

@jec79 Spot on — this is the case across our government but most embarrassing in our image overseas. Paradoxically, Carney's cuts are exacerbating some of these tendencies too.

Gawd I agree with Carney here. The small town cheap bullshit Canada does to appease people who’ve never left the county in which they were born has huge opportunity costs.

The U.S. is nearing a deal with Mali that will allow Washington to resume flying aircraft and drones over the West African country's airspace to gather intelligence on jihadist groups linked to al Qaeda, according to one current ​U.S. official and a former U.S. official. In Washington, the goal to resume intelligence gathering is partly driven by a ​desire to find an American pilot who was kidnapped by armed men while working for Christian missionaries in neighboring Niger. The pilot is currently believed to be held in Mali by ​the local al Qaeda affiliate, Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM), the officials said. reuters.com/world/africa/u…

#Niger The kidnapped man is Kevin Rideout, a 48 year old American pilot who was working on an evangelical mission for humanitarian aid. Although the kidnapping wasn't carried out directly by terrorists, it's known that terrorists issued a kind of "call for bids" to kidnap Westerners.

Not surprising that the man who mounted a failed coup in January 2021 is cozying up to men who mounted successful coups in August 2020, May 2021, September 2022, & July 2023. Their regimes can teach him all about suppressing dissent and clinging to power. worldpoliticsreview.com/us-mali-burkin…

BREAKING: Homeland Security has relied on the use of administrative subpoenas to seek identifiable information about individuals who run anonymous Instagram accounts, which share posts about ICE immigration raids in their local neighborhoods. These subpoenas have also been used to demand information about people who have criticized Trump officials or protested government policies, per TC

If you think ICE is bad, dig into the Border Patrol, too, while you're at it. The Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC), deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, trains foreign border guards on "capacity building," roles typically reserved for the military. They're on our streets too.

@trippwhitbeck @ichbinilya He doesn't need to, and he's already on record about WaPo and free markets. But I think it's a sign of poor judgement that he easily could fund the paper but doesn't. High quality reporting has a strong claim to being a public interest good that is hard to make profitable.

@PhilippeMFrowd @ichbinilya Why are you counting his money? The thing about personal property is... you can spend it how you please (on winners and losers!). The notion that Jeff Bezos needs to underwrite personally a business that is failing is bizarre.

If I were a multi-billionaire and only getting wealthier, I would love to own a phenomenal loss-making newspaper with renowned international coverage, book reviews, a beloved sports section, incisive essays and opinions..? Is that not the coolest and most legacy-building way to spend a tiny portion of one’s fortune? Being the smart and principled benefactor of an icon of American letters? I would use it to collect smart and interesting friends. So what if it lost a tiny amount of my fortune? Like what am I missing here.

I will never cancel Noam Chomsky. He devoted decades of his life to tireless solidarity with oppressed people, especially by his own government, and exposing the propaganda used to subjugate them. His impact on that front is immeasurable. This doesn't mean he's above critique. He took positions I disagreed with, especially in recent years. I think he made an error in judgement befriending Jeffrey Epstein, who, when he met Noam, had been convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor. If you think Noam Chomsky deserves banishment despite having zero complicity in that or Epstein's other crimes, OK. I'm going to decline to join you, just as I declined to join those in the establishment who've been trying to cancel Noam for a lot longer.
