There are a couple of kids in my nephews's class who weren't born in the US, and the class has decided (w/o teacher input) that if ICE shows up in they're all going to pretend not to speak English. 10yos reinventing "I am Spartacus" because they don't want their friends to get disappeared.

Haaretz report comes as supreme court gives Israeli PM more time to respond to affidavit from fired Shin Bet chief

The Israeli daily Haaretz reported on Wednesday that its analysis of the IDF’s own materials collected as part of an internal investigation into the incident contradicted the army’s claim that soldiers did not shoot indiscriminately at Palestinian ambulances and a fire engine in the early hours of 23 March.

If you think you can't make a political issue out of "people shouldn't be grabbed off the street and put in a foreign gulag forever," maybe consider getting out of politics/punditry. And these aren't technical slogans: they appear in the Declaration of Independence and in the Constitution (twice).

Update: 96-year-old’s bank account was cleaned out by Social Security on the grounds that he had been dead for a while and they were reclaiming benefits SS had paid to the allegedly but not actually dead man. He now has no money. DOGE strikes again. Anybody know a lawyer for this?
Hard to believe this letter is real. Yet it seems to be. It was sent to a 96-year-old widower. Who has no idea why. And no capacity to get thru to the clogged social security customer service.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
