That these cruel savages can't control themselves unless the military is around to highlight the PR battle is just an indictment if the entire operation. Israel most be dismantled beginning with the settler colonies and demilitarization.
The Prime Minister's Office: ALLEGED ATTACK ON EUROPEAN DIPLOMATS: SERIOUS ACCUSATIONS REQUIRE SERIOUS EVIDENCE. We urge caution before drawing conclusions from today's reports that European diplomats were attacked by masked Israelis in Judea and Samaria. Any violence against diplomats is unacceptable. The more serious the accusation, the greater the demand for compelling evidence. Here is what we know: - The diplomatic delegation entered a sensitive area with a history of confrontations without prior coordination with the IDF, as officially confirmed by the military. Such coordination is essential to protecting visiting diplomats and preventing violence. - The visit included Bernard Baudoux, a French Communist Party mayor who previously raised the Palestinian flag over his municipal building, prompting French authorities to order its removal. - Published footage shows masked individuals confronting a diplomatic vehicle. Separate images show a smashed window and a person lying on the ground. These images alone do not establish the complete sequence of events or individual responsibility. Those circumstances remain under investigation. - Israeli police and forensic investigators have launched an investigation to establish the facts and identify those responsible. These reports come amid concerns about a coordinated campaign to smear Israel and the Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria during the annual olive harvest, relying on sensational headlines before the full facts emerge. We may see further allegations in the coming days. By the time the evidence is fully examined, the reputational damage from premature conclusions may already be done. We call on the public and responsible journalists to demand verifiable evidence, reject hearsay, and refuse to turn unproven allegations into a collective indictment of the Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria.

Politics which are truly tough on crime would require actually addressing the root causes of crime. Primarily poverty, inaccess to services & social alienation. The cops add to these issues, therefore cops are soft on crime. What you actually support is being tough on *criminals*

The reason to fire her would be to replace her with a softer on crime replacement which they wouldn’t like. Duh?

And to the cops, a "criminal" is whoever they say is a criminal, whether they've committed a crime or not.

They have a phrase: "Israel has the right to defend itself." It is deployed with perfect consistency. It is never applied to Palestinians defending themselves against occupation. It is never applied to the family whose house was demolished to make room for a settlement. It is never applied to the fishing boats shot at in their own territorial waters. It is never applied to the child at the checkpoint who did not move fast enough. "The right to defend yourself" is, in Western political language, a franchise. Available to some. Inapplicable to others. The franchise is not distributed randomly. It is distributed along the lines of which deaths produce consequences for the people in the comfortable offices making the decisions. Gaza revealed the franchise map to anyone who hadn't already seen it.

This will backfire when they fail to kill him.
BREAKING: The execution of Fort Hood mass shooter Nidal Hasan by firing squad will be "made public so people can watch it," per Pete Hegseth. It will happen on December 3, at the same base where he carried out the massacre.

Ok @Yale @Penn @CarnegieMellon @Columbia I want to sponsor a multidisciplinary study to identify the specific genetic variants, neural circuits, and social media mechanisms associated with antisemitism, particularly its escalation since October 7th events. The study would combine genomics, functional brain imaging, behavioral and personality phenotyping, and detailed analysis of social media exposure in people with strongly antisemitic views, matched controls, and a particularly important group: individuals who were raised in strongly antisemitic or anti-Zionist environments but later underwent a major reversal and became strongly pro-Israel or pro-Zionist. The goal is to identify biological predispositions, the neural systems engaged by antisemitic beliefs and propaganda, the forms of online reinforcement most strongly associated with those beliefs, and, by studying people who genuinely changed, the mechanisms that allow deeply embedded hatred or ideology to reverse.  Ultimately, the purpose is not only to understand antisemitism, but to develop evidence-based ways to prevent radicalization, dehumanization, and the real-world violence that can follow, including assaults, stabbings, shootings, arson, and other attacks against Jews. I’m aware there are a lot of different types of hate, and I’m not trying to have a contest here, but this is the work that I’d like to sponsor, and I do think there are some unique attributes associated with antisemitism given its long historical context and associations with mass dehumanization and as a recurring tool for gaining political power.

Thing is, I already know my power is out. I don't need a map to tell me that. Maybe they should focus on installing redundancies instead of creating high quality interactive maps to tell us what we already know.

The plain view doctrine does not allow every citizen to set up a permanent, networked, AI powered, unmanned surveillance grid on public property, serviced by public utilities.
When someone records you in public it’s their data, not your data. The police can’t take it from them, but you are irrelevant to the question of the 4th amendment in that case, it’s between the police and the owner of the data; which is why with flock you have to opt into sharing data with police.

MIMAC is doing a Media Literacy training on the 23rd at St Peter's in Detroit from 1-4 PM. Given how rancid things got in the electoral scene, I'd definitely encouraging attending to help make sense of the rhetoric.

This is a great point. Too many people seem to think "the revolution" will actually be socialists inheriting a state from capitalism, rather than abolishing out outright. A proletarian dictatorship will not be bound by the laws of the current order. End the death penalty today!
Just realized the DSA program says nothing about abolishing the death penalty, I’ll never understand why this seems basically forgotten as a demand by the left

Prison labor is increasingly popular in corporate agriculture. Though I argue the h2A program, which is a much larger percent of agricultural workers, is closing on on the same level of exploitation. I wrote about this a few months ago. open.substack.com/pub/rootri…

This Obama-maxing the Stevens campaign has been leaning into seems actually racist at this point. She literally shows up to black communities and just says "Obama" over and over. Like WTF are her handlers even doing?
Happy Birthday, President @BarackObama! It was the honor of a lifetime to work in your administration on behalf of the great state of Michigan.

Israelis want us to think the British invented something called the "shemagh" during WWII. Any indigenous levantine knows it is a 5000 year old Sumerian garb brought to Levant by Bedouins 3000 years ago and cemented as the "keffiyeh" nearly 2000 years ago. Why distort history?
