Two recent episodes have shown how liberal institutions like Human Rights Watch and Doctors Without Borders are designed to recognize the violence that shapes Palestinian life but not challenge the systems that produce it. New at @mondoweiss.net

This is so weak and detached from reality. There is a constitutional crisis right now, and a slow coup taking place, but you just want body cameras on the Secret Police.

Pathetic.
Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.

We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.

Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

New at @mondoweiss.net: Birzeit University is no longer what it once was. The transformation has been gradual and, therefore, easily rationalized, but the result has been the hollowing out of a university that once led the Palestinian struggle.

Here's an interesting piece from JSTOR Daily on the political history of za'atar.

"Today, in its dried and ground form, za’atar is best known as the central ingredient in the spice mix that has come to represent Palestinian cuisine worldwide."

More than an herb, za’atar shapes, narrates, and anchors identity and political dynamics of the Eastern Mediterranean and Sinai Peninsula.

This is the bare minimum
Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

The murder of Alex Pretti by the United States government is exactly the scenario the founders were thinking of when they wrote the second amendment.

A moment-by-moment analysis of videos from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when shots were fired. The footage contradicts the federal government’s account of the fatal shooting.
