EJI Announces the Opening of Montgomery Square Dedicated to the Montgomery Decade that Changed the World

We are thrilled that Montgomery Square is now open. This space is dedicated to the Montgomery decade that changed the world. From 1955 to 1965, Black people with extraordinary courage sparked a movement in Montgomery that transformed our country and world.

State Dept official says charter flights from Mideast underway: "Several flights have safely returned hundreds of Americans to the United States with additional flights scheduled to take place over the coming days, as security conditions allow." (Commercial flight options are improving, too.)

We are losing the guiding lights of the civil rights movement precisely at the moment we need them most. A huge loss.

Maybe this is just me, but I kind of think massive military operations, in which we're demanding unconditional surrender as the outcome, probably should be authorized by Congress.

Telling Jesus he'll never make it if he keeps being so hostile to wealth. Advising him to moderate his message to appeal to the Galilee suburbs

In retrospect, it seems like changing the department's name to Department of War was a strong signal of what this administration wanted to do, huh

Yes, I’m linking Yoram Hazony, who leads a massive conservative coalition and shared his interactions with Tucker Carlson on antisemitism.

My Contacts With Tucker Carlson About Anti-Semitism on His Show A few weeks ago, a mutual friend asked me if I’d be willing to speak to Tucker Carlson off the record.

This is disturbing

You probably know by now that the war in the Middle East has caused a spike in the price of oil. But it's also set to hit food prices in the supermarket, as Elena Casas explains

“The ideology that has utterly failed is conservatism; the center right has ceased to exist across the world, its institutions taken over by fascists, its voters pledging allegiance to a new flag.”

Key Questions on the Role of Technology in the Expanding Middle East War Tech Policy Press asked experts working at the intersection of technology policy, security, and international affairs to share what they are watching.

There's a tradition in the Passover seder: after dipping your pinky into wine to make 10 drops on your plate (representing the 10 plagues) you aren't supposed to lick your finger. It's a reminder not to revel in the suffering of others, even if they've done evil to you.

Today tests that principle.

Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

It is totally possible that we've been reading Orwell wrong for the last 75 years. Maybe behewould have been on the side of the secret police! Hold on lemme read it again

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

Sigh.
