From Peterr's great reflection on the entire ceremony of which Bishop Budde's plea was just one part: "They protected a poor, vulnerable refugee-to-be from a vengeful tyrant who feared for his own power." www.emptywheel.net/2025/01/22/h...

About 10,000 Palestinians killed in the war are yet to be found and buried.

A UN damage assessment released this month showed clearing more than 50 million tonnes of rubble left in the aftermath of Israel’s bombardment could take 21 years and cost up to $1.2bn.

Mahmoud Abu Dalfa’s wife and five children - three daughters and two sons - are among 35 of his extended family killed when an Israeli air strike hit their building in Gaza City in December 2023.

“My children are still under the rubble. I am trying to get them out … The civil defence came, they tried, but the destruction makes it difficult. We don’t have the equipment here to extract martyrs."

NEW: The Trump administration has fired members of the Cyber Safety Review board, a committee that was lauded for its investigation into the Microsoft hacks of 2023, and was working on the recent Salt Typhoon telco hacks.

One source called it a “horribly shortsighted” decision.

UPDATE: In case you thought this was not a politically-motivated decision, here's what DHS just told us:

“Effective immediately, the Department of Homeland Security will no longer tolerate any advisory committee which push agendas that attempt to undermine its national security mission, the President’s agenda or Constitutional rights of Americans.”

Huh. Well that's different

"Convicted #USCapitol rioter turns down Trump #pardon"

"Accepting a pardon would only insult the Capitol police officers, rule of law and, of course, our nation... I pleaded guilty because I was guilty, and accepting a pardon also would serve to contribute to their gaslighting and false narrative"

Pamela Hemphill aka "#MAGA Granny"

...she saw the #Trump government as trying to "rewrite history and I don't want to be part of that"

This is sad and really scary for these guys. #Biden would have provided them security, #Trump will egg these muther f⁕⚠︎ers on.

Via Fmr #CapitolPolice Officer #HarryDunn:

Sergeant Gonell sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections."
Each defendant assaulted him.

Reupping: I laid out a LOT of what would be in Jack Smith's Volume Two. Cannon claims there's a lot more that hasn't been released (but she's misrepresenting that DOJ said they would redacted a lot). It sounds like there's a lot of surveillance footage. www.emptywheel.net/2025/01/19/f...

If you want to know how Democrats failed to make more of a political case against Trump during the election, you can start with the fact that Dan Goldman knows almost nothing about what was made public in the documents case against Trump.

New to here
Found Friendica from a post on Mastodon. I’ve been off X for a year and tried Bsky but got lots of trolls and women with no posts or biogs who all shared youth and large appurtenances. Still on Facebook due to friends and groups but highly restricted. And yes young ladies also want to be friends there. I joined my first political party at age 71, the Lib Dem’s. They are not perfect but they have some amazingly talented MPs.
