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 :

Reporter: Can you share how your information about war plans was shared with a journalist?
Hegseth: So you are talking about a deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who has made a profession of peddling hoaxes

The whole point is not just the state disappearing whoever they want, it's you being in the habit of accepting the state choosing whom to disappear, without question. It's submission to the state. Same as with Gitmo after 9/11. The state's judgment must not be questioned.

Important. Either Trump is so far gone mentally he doesn’t know what he’s doing, or people are acting in his name without his knowledge. This was an order with enormous implications, and the President of the United States says he didn’t do it.
President Donald Trump downplayed his involvement in invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1789 to deport Venezuelan migrants, saying for the first time that he hadn't signed the proclamation, even as he stood by his administration's move.

BREAKING: Senate just UNANIMOUSLY restored $1.1 billion for DC local govt that was eliminated
Why?
Because Senators of BOTH parties work in DC - and most have homes there - and none of them want to be in a hellhole
Now - try applying that same logic to THE REST OF THE COUNTRY

Der Täter von #Mannheim wurde 2018 verurteilt, weil er "Sieg Heil from Germany" unter ein Adolf-Hitler-Bild postete - Klarer Fall von psychisch krankem Einzelfall, der mit nichts etwas zu tun hat, weswegen man da politisch leider gar nichts machen kann.

If the US had continued to support Ukraine, we may have been months away from the end of the war. The Russians would not have been able to continue to fight for much longer. They were making almost no progress, taking huge casualties.

Fox News reported that JD Vance had to move to an “undisclosed location” due to protests at the Vermont resort where he’s skiing this weekend. For inflicting misery on the world and here at home in America, this is exactly the energy that should greet Vance wherever he goes for the rest of his days.

Dass Merz sich nicht schämt, Walter Lübckes Namen in den Mund zu nehmen, um Menschen zu diskreditieren, die gegen Faschismus und Rechtsruck aufstehen, nachdem er selbst die Brandmauer zu der Partei, zu deren Fans Lübckes Mörder gehört, eingerissen hat. Verlogen und verkommen.
“Wo waren die als Walter Lübcke ermordet wurde?” fragte Merz heute beim Wahlkampfabschluss vorwurfsvoll in Richtung derjenigen, die in den letzten Wochen gegen seine Mehrheitsbildung mit der AfD demonstriert haben.
Sie haben natürlich auch damals für die Demokratie demonstriert:
