The people at the supposed Ecuadoran drug facility the US helped bomb have evidence that it was actually just a small farm, and they say they were waterboarded and subject to electric shocks right before the bombing. nytimes.com/2026/03/24/wor…

@DavidKlion @T0dgerWaters The big protests against the Iraq War largely happened before the war, while the government was spending months trying to persuade the American people to get on board with it. With Iran, the government didn’t bother building support ahead of time. I think that’s the key variable.

@T0dgerWaters Sure but that doesn't account for Iraq. I think in both cases they were trying to demonstrate opposition and eventually shift public opinion. But there's nothing to shift, a sizable majority hates this war and hates Trump for starting it.

@NoahHurowitz Honestly, at this point, fine. Milling around the airport doing absolutely nothing except drawing a morale-crushing check from an agency that Congress hasn't even funded is about the most benign thing ICE can do.

More ICE agents looking bored at JFK Terminal 8. Thus far I haven’t seen any of these guys doing anything beyond standing around looking ICE-y

Spotted at JFK Terminal 4: two small groups of ICE/DHS agents (including ERO) standing around in the departures area. I’ve seen at least one ICE agent at a TSA checkpoint, but mostly they don’t appear to be doing a whole lot

@Optionsavvy @Dean_Moses "Simple solution. Get both houses of Congress to repeal the First Amendment by a 2/3 vote, then get 3/4 of the states to ratify the repeal, then get both houses of Congress to pass a law against naming ICE agents, then get the president to sign it into law."

ICE agents run from the press inside JFK airport as they are deployed with no masks.

@BenjaminFogel The story is about how the guy is a con artist who was arrested for a scam he ran and then pulled off an autosecuestro to steal his brother's house. Coppins doesn't actually believe he was in a secret tournament.

@sethharpesq I mean, if you read the whole story, the author does come to the conclusion that the entire thing was utter bullshit and his source was a con artist who was arrested, rather than kidnapped, and who stole his own bother's life savings as a "ransom" payment.

I’m sorry but this preposterous story, by a journalist who knows nothing about Mexico and doesn’t speak Spanish, based on a single source who’s obviously a compulsive liar, is the single worst article I’ve ever read in a national magazine, bar none
McKay Coppins@mckaycoppins

Last year, I met a Mexican athlete who told me an incredible story—that he’d been kidnapped in 2023 and forced to compete for his life in a secret tournament of cartels. Once I started reporting, the story only got more surreal. For the May issue: theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/…

@Alonso_GD I have a friend who managed to somehow rig up an old N64 to a CRT TV in order to play this game, which he loved when it came out, as it should be played with an original controller. He found it utterly unplayable because he grew accustomed to modern controls over the decades.

Israel is set to deport a Jewish American activist who reported an Israeli settler who ran over a five-year-old Palestinian girl in the South Hebron Hills two days ago. They arrested and deported the activist who reported the crime—not the criminal.

@BaneyMike @DavidKlion Would not be considered a mitigating factor in court on charges of murder. There is a reason for that.

Has Putin's decision to attack Ukraine put Russians living outside of Russia at risk? Would anyone justify or view an attack on Russians abroad in protest of Putin's policies as understandable or even sane? Why do only Jews seem to have this burden?
David Klion@DavidKlion

The morally indefensible decisions Jewish institutions and leaders have made over years re Palestine have predictably put every Jew on earth at risk. I don't want to see Jewish civilians (me, my friends, my family) attacked. But I expect it to happen a lot more often now.

@DavidKlion @blankslate2017 If, god forbid, some Ukrainian who lost his whole family in a Russian bombing were to attack a Russian Orthodox church that strongly supported Putin, I'm pretty sure plenty of people would say "this is a despicable act of terrorism, but the motive isn't a total mystery to me."

@blankslate2017 Look I can’t stop you from willfully misrepresenting my plainly expressed feelings. All I can do is plainly express that you’re a lying hack and I don’t respect you

The plane carrying Sebastián Marset has landed at Jorge Chávez International Airport in Lima, Peru. Presumably, Marset will be flown from there to the US shortly.

@ioangrillo Does CJNG have two different powerful "Doble R"s? I have seen Ricardo Ruiz Velasco a/k/a Doble R mentioned as a potential successor to Mencho, but the authorities are calling this guy Ángel Javier.

@Alonso_GD One of the more interesting things about this is that UK courts apparently still Anglicize Irish names. I mean, can you imagine if US courts insisted on calling guys named Juan Hernandez "John Henry" or something?
