Yes, I know we're all focused on Iran. But the slaughter in Sudan continues, and this excellent piece in The @guardian recounts the mass atrocities that unfolded in El Fasher, Darfur, enabled by our pals in the UAE -- as world leaders looked away. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...
Heroism, horror and the ‘pits of hell’: inside the last days of El Fasher
Over two days in October 2025, up to 10,000 people are believed to have been massacred; a further 40,000 civillians from the Sudanese city are still unaccounted for. This is the story of what happened

Big Tech has to answer for the harm that social media is causing our children.
Yesterday’s verdict confirmed these platforms were designed for addiction — and proves the Children’s Social Media Safety Act in Illinois is needed now.
Great to speak with @jonathanhaidt.bsky.social on our efforts.

In the UN vote today on Russian aggression, Trump's America sided with Russia, North Korea and Belarus in defending Putin's war. The U.S. was not even as independent-minded as Cuba and Iran, both of which abstained. In the world's fight for liberty, I fear the U.S. has just switched sides.

In rural Oregon, a Republican pro-Trump member of Congress has a town hall in a conservative town--and 300 people show to lob angry questions or boo him: www.hermistonherald.com/bentz-s-pend... If Trump's next act is to slash Medicaid, as seems likely, unhappiness will rise further (as it should).
