this story is actually wilder than the headline or pulled quote suggests. it ends with his wife saying that she generally supports the detention and deportation of immigrants--as long as they are criminals. but not criminal like her husband.
“Each call, he asks about all of us first and keeps telling us he is OK.”
“He’s always done everything they asked him to do.”

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.
NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

We all make mistakes organizing, it’s normal. But if you find yourself systemically dismissing student activism as silly or naive, and believing you know better, then it’s time to retire. You’ve lost the plot.

It's been three months + 1 day since Elon Musk did a Nazi salute, twice, at the inauguration.
If you're still focused on pro-Palestine protestors as a threat to American Jews, then you don't really care about us.
If you're still saying that cancel culture by the left is a thing, you're full of it.

Yes, this is exactly why I have been living on a completely different planet than everyone I love for countless years and the difference continues to exacerbate
took a few days off for my brain and one pretty alarming observation i have is just how easy it is to not hear about the bad stuff that is happening if you don't explicitly dip into specific information streams (not a new problem but feels orders of magnitude more siloed than even 2-3 years ago)
