The scale and intensity of Israel's four-day incursion in Jenin is very alarming. Israeli forces keep obstructing access to health facilities blocking and even targeting ambulances, delaying people’s access to care.

I mean, at a core level, listening to us lawyers is of no more use here. We are beyond "law." We are beyond principles we studied or researched. We can only tell you what they've done. Experts on fascism and authoritarianism can tell you how to stop the Court.

I started listening to @karaswisher’s ‘Burn Book’ yesterday and only have ~30 min left. I’ve laughed. I’ve cried. I’ve been plagued by a persistent, gnawing unease/anxiety about mortality and loss. I’ve been inspired and picked up new nuggets of wisdom… I don’t want it to end.

Reports say LA Times is losing $40 million a year. Its owner, Patrick Soon-Shiong, has an estimated net worth of about $5 billion. Even if he never makes another penny he could cover those losses every year for a century and still have more than $1 billion left over in the bank.

I can't believe I'm saying this. But, Uvalde was even worse than we've been told. We knew about the 376 cops on the scene who did not go into the class for 77 mins. Assoc Attorney Gen Gupta today said the "pain, failures & missteps" did not end when they finally went in.

Lordy, there are tapes. The @Hou_Landing story gets even worse. Kudos to @willsommer and @washingtonpost

Media news: $20 million news startup Houston Landing has been thrown into chaos after its CEO abruptly fired a top editor and a star reporter. In a meeting with surprised staffers, the CEO fumed: "Do you know who I am? Seriously, do you know who I am?" washingtonpost.com/style/media/20…

in 2019, this kind of rhetoric demonizing immigrants inspired a white supremacist to drive 10 hours from a Dallas suburb to the border city of El Paso to carry out the deadliest attack on Latinos in recent US history

“The only thing that we're not doing is we're not shooting people who come across the border, because of course, the Biden administration would charge us with murder," Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says during a radio interview texastribune.org/2024/01/11/tex…

Shame on @Hou_Landing leadership for firing Alex, one of the best reporters in Texas. A disservice to Houston readers and the rest of the newsroom, which has punched above its weight since launching.

Those defending ambiguous medical exceptions in abortion bans regularly suggest that the problem is not the ambiguities, but doctors narrowly construing them. And yet, here’s Texas AG Ken Paxton threatening doctors with civil and criminal liability for FOLLOWING A COURT ORDER.

For context, her fetus was diagnosed with a fatal condition, she could lose her uterus if she doesn’t have this abortion, she had to petition a judge to override the Texas abortion ban, the judge tearfully granted her an exception, and Texas’ AG is now threatening her doctor.

Even after Kate Cox's doctor was authorized by a court to perform her abortion, the Texas attorney general Ken Paxton is publicly warning that doctor could still face major civil and criminal penalties. We'll speak with Kate Cox's attorney tonight at 9:00.

My man I have some news for you about the reason we have the Refugee Convention

Schatz on border talks: “I think that 50 years from now, no one is gonna remember whether we changed asylum policy. They will remember whether we let Putin take another country by force in a ground war in Europe. So we need to understand the stakes here.”

A released Palestinian prisoner says in Arabic that Israel held them in the cold w/o electricity, "sprayed us w/ pepper spray" & "left us to die." She never mentioned Hamas or a word like it. Yet @BBC translated to: "No one helped us. Only Hamas cared...We love them very much."

Carole is still in shock. "Our healthcare system is not simply broken," she wrote earlier today, "it is corrupt and anti-life. It is evil.... We cannot forget that insurance companies are run by people who benefit from these policies and decisions."
