Replace El Salvador with Iran and see how different the comments would look

You Do Not Hate Congress Enough

Following Columbia Journalism School’s statement calling for the immediate release of Ahmed Shihab-Eldin, ’07 M.S., Dean Jelani Cobb joined @MSNOWNews @chrislhayes to discuss the broader implications for press freedom globally: youtu.be/HseCjEVc3y0?si…

Kuwait: Release journalist Ahmed Shihab-Eldin from detention | Committee to Protect Journalists “An award-winning Kuwaiti-American journalist has been detained since March 3 for sharing publicly available, verified footage. Journalism is not a crime.” cpj.movements.mov/pet/kuwait-rel…

HuffPost is deeply alarmed by the news of Ahmed Shihab-Eldin’s detention and the indications that he is being held under Kuwait’s stifling new security laws for acts of journalism. Ahmed spent two years at HuffPost as a pioneering host and producer of HuffPost Live. He impressed colleagues and viewers alike with his compassion, determination and pursuit of the truth. Ahmed’s detention is greatly concerning. HuffPost calls on Kuwaiti authorities to release him immediately.

I can’t stop imagining making the choice to run as far as you can from anyone you love so you can hopefully be killed alone. I just. I’m so fucking angry and sad. This is something beyond evil.

NEW COLUMN: I asked Minister Lena Diab why Canada is blocking Palestine from attending the FIFA Congress in Vancouver. Her office refuses to explain themselves. jakelandau.ca/p/canada-block…

Republicans are bringing Congress into session right now at MIDNIGHT to pass legislation that allows the surveillance of U.S. citizens without a warrant. I am a hard NO—Congress cannot pass this bill that allows the government to violate our constitutional rights.

One of the biggest indicators that the US government views the American people as enemies is the insistence that FISA 702 be reauthorized year after year, despite the Edward Snowden revelations

Settlers block Palestinian pupils' path to West Bank school with barbed wire reut.rs/4cipi85 reut.rs/4cipi85

The so-called “warrant requirement” in the latest FISA 702 bill is a sham—written in dense legalese to make it seem substantive. It mainly codifies existing practices and doesn’t end unconstitutional warrantless backdoor searches of Americans’ communications. Don’t fall for it.

I remember when a bunch of morons thought this dude was the future

At some point Bukele is just gonna execute every man under 50 to truly eradicate crime. Radfem regime if you think about it

Bukele is using a State of Exception to commit flagrant human rights abuses against the Salvadorian people—and Trump is enabling him. This cannot stand.

Good morning. As you navigate your day today, please remember that if you are an American who finds this morally objectionable, and don't want to pay for it and arm it and go to war to enable it, then it means you're a BIGOT and an ANTI-SEMITE. Govern yourself accordingly.

The full text for HR 8250, the proposed Federal law which would require all Operating Systems to implement Age Verification, has just been made publicly available. It is short, poorly written, clearly not at all thought out, and almost entirely devoid of specifics. Some key points: - The bill does not specify how age verification would work at all. It states that the Federal Trade Commission would have 180 days to specify the exact mechanism and requirements for Age Verification within the Operating Systems. - The Federal Trade Commission would also specify data storage protection requirements as well as requirements for how the Operating System must provide access to collected user data. - This bill would apply to ALL Operating Systems. Everything from Windows to Linux to embedded systems. Yes, even to a smart refrigerator. The “Operating System” definition is incredibly broad. - The law will be considered in effect 1 year from the date it is enacted. - Violations of the law will be handled under the Federal Trade Commission Act. - It is given the “Short Title” of “Parents Decide Act”. congress.gov/bill/119th-con…

Five Israeli prison guards who raped a Palestinian inmate-hostage at the notorious torture camp Sde Teiman are being return to military service. Rape of prisoners is widely supported by the Israeli public, politicians, law officers – and now officially by the Israeli army.
