The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up. The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.

Before he resigned over Gaza, Army Maj. Harrison Mann was a senior Mideast analyst in the Defense Intelligence Agency. With an all-out Israel-Hezbollah war looming, he walked me through what the next phase of escalation could look like. And it’s *real* scary. www.forever-wars.com/harrison-man...

what does “racial statement” even mean? it is the opposite of providing clarity to readers.

A woman in Texas has been charged with attempted capital murder and injury to a child after trying to drown a 3-year-old child at an apartment complex pool and making racial statements, according to police.

Something I as a tech services librarian recommend: As soon as you hear about a forthcoming book you’d like to borrow, go to your library’s catalog and try to place a hold. There’s a good chance a record is already there. Strong demand stats help us plan—and look good to trustees & administrators. 📚

Our government won't stop lying to us. Israeli officials are clear about rejecting a permanent ceasefire. Hamas is clear about accepting it. But U.S. officials and politicians won't stop saying that Hamas is blocking peace. www.jphilll.com/p/why-does-o...

Why does our government keep lying?www.jphilll.com Israel didn't agreed to a ceasefire, Hamas did, and we're being lied to.

The 42 Democrats who voted to sanction the ICC over the court seeking arrest warrants for Israeli officials:

They can sanction *relatives* of the vaguely defined persons who have “directly engaged in or otherwise aided any effort by the ICC to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute a protected person.” This reads very similar to Trump’s exec order sanctioning the ICC: web.archive.org/web/20200612...

AIPAC brags that the US House just passed a bill that would impose sanctions against the ICC for bringing charges of crimes against humanity/war crimes against Israeli leaders if signed into law. Per @TrackAIPAC, the pro-Israel lobby spent almost $15 million lobbying the 42 Democrats who voted yes.

Al Jazeera is reporting Hamas has accepted the Qatari-Egyptian ceasefire. May it be the salvation of Rafah, Gaza and Palestine.

Decades from now, the polite mainstream will claim the legacy of the protester who stands bravely against the jeering white boys - just like it currently claims the legacy of protesters who stood bravely decades ago. But let’s remember where the polite mainstream stands in the moment.
