Torture is a feature of life in thousands of US jails and prisons. It’s often blamed on “guards,” but someone had to design this contraption, build it, plan its use, and run it up the chain of command. Judges and lawyers had to create a legal regime where this stuff pervades for decades.

My gosh. This should be leading every news outlet in America today — a top official gives first-hand proof that the US took Israel's side after its soldiers killed our Palestinian-American press colleague, Shireen Abu-Akleh:
“My findings were beyond reasonable doubt that this was an intentional killing of Shireen Abu Akleh.”
Retired Army Colonel Steve Gabavics tells @mehdirhasan.bsky.social that the killing of Shireen Abu Akleh, was intentional according to his findings.

as an author of a book on reparations I am intimately familiar with the move people make from "the thing you want isn't politically viable right now" to "you shouldn't want it, talk about wanting it, or even think about it" but it never stops being weird to me
It is actually peak absurdity that we still have people arguing that voters should bend to the positions of their political representatives instead of the other way around.

Such a frustrating category error. “Doing politics” is not about persuasion. It’s about MOVING THE LEVERS OF POWER. Sometimes you persuade the opposition, sometimes you make deals and sometimes you just recruit those who already agree with you into more action.
