So an insane story by Basel Musharbash, a private equity roll-up of fire trucks is why more than half the fire trucks in Los Angeles were out of service during the catastrophic wildfires in the Palisades and Eaton.

The National Human Rights Commission of Thailand (NHRCT) spoke against China's embassy statement re the Uyghur detainees: mgronline.com/politics/detai… The NHRCT "reaffirms its commitment to uphold human rights principles", like non-refoulement. Thaksin Shinawatra Ing Shin กระทรวงการต่างประเทศ | MFA of Thailand do you?

Great to see such commitment. Human Rights Watch continues to call on the Thai govt not to deport the Uyghurs to China. Instead, Thailand should allow the UN refugee agency to screen the 48 Uyghurs so they can move on to a safe third country, from a decade of immigration detention in Thailand.

Berlin has still spaces of freedom. Meet me there. With eyal weizman

I just heard NPR call “DOGE” “Musk’s government efficiency team.” That seems like journo malpractice at this point - repeating the disingenuous self-description of a team that, the evidence suggests, has far different aims than just making efficiency tweaks.

Today, at a hearing in the South Bangkok Criminal Court regarding the unlawful detention of 43 Uyghur men for 11–12 years, I testified as an expert witness. My statement in English is below. The Thai and Uyghur versions will be posted soon.

This is insane. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste.

Journalist Sam Husseini was removed from Blinken's last press conference. Removing journalists, refusing to answer questions, gaslighting, and impeding freedom of the Press has been a bi-partisan endeavor. Just many liberals didn't care when a Democrat was POTUS.

A major shift in Thaliand concerning 43 Uyghur asylum seekers. A Bangkok court has found there is merit to proceed with the hearing to decide if their detention is unlawful. If their detention is ruled unlawful, the detainees may be released.
