“President Trump has kept lots of constitutional rights activists like me quite busy since his return to the Oval Office. His misuse of federal agents and multiple state National Guard personnel from Red states in Blue cities for pretextual immigration enforcement actions that double as political repression operations has been a particular focus of mine. But you don’t have to be America’s chief executive in order to have the power to try to violate a citizen’s rights. You can be a career bureaucrat and do it behind a veil of secrecy, believing that your actions will never see the light of day.” (09/24/25)

“In response to the killing of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk earlier this month, British social-media influencer Charlotte Hayes posted a video on TikTok appearing to celebrate his death. Hayes, a 25-year-old from Folkestone, Kent, said that Kirk’s beliefs were ‘inherently violent’ and that, when it comes to conservatives, we should ‘kill them all’ – a line she repeated more than once. … As a result of her comments, she was questioned by Kent Police. However, they decided last week not to arrest her. Good. No one should be arrested for words they say online, unless there is clear evidence that they intended to incite real-world violence. Yet, while we can welcome the fact that Hayes will not be prosecuted, we should also recognise this as a clear-cut case of two-tier justice. In fact, it offers a perfect illustration of the authorities’ blatant political bias.” (09/25/25)

“Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol announced plans Thursday to close hundreds of stores and undergo a second round of layoffs this year in an effort to revive the coffeehouse chain. In a letter to employees, Niccol said the company will have about 1% fewer stores beginning in fiscal year 2026, Oct. 1, compared to a year ago. This accounts for both new store openings and the just-announced closures. Starbucks had 18,734 stores in North America at the end of June, and will begin October with 18,300 stores. Niccol said the company was ‘working hard’ to find new placements for employees at the stores set to be shuttered.” (09/25/25)

“Given how disastrous the consequences of Harris’s loss are likely to prove, her lack of introspection about the reasons for it are especially galling. And as it happens, her attempt to deflect any blame from herself is so ham-fisted that it is likely to backfire; the title, the thesis and the tenor of her book practically invite readers, whatever their political orientation, to retort with all of the ways in which she herself is at fault for her defeat. But it would be unfair to single her out, for in truth she is closer to being the rule than the exception. Other parts of the Democratic Party don’t appear much more keen to discover the causes of their defeat.” (09/25/25)

“Benjamin Netanyahu has again taken a significantly longer flight route than necessary, avoiding the airspace of several European countries, this time while en route to the UN in New York. The Israeli prime minister, who has an international criminal court arrest warrant against him for alleged crimes including starvation as a method of warfare, made a trip that flight-tracking data showed followed the Mediterranean Sea, rather than a more direct route over the continent. … Shorter, more fuel-efficient routes may have flown across France, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and the UK. Those countries have all signed the ICC statute and would be legally required to arrest and surrender Netanyahu to The Hague-based court if he entered their territory.” (09/25/25)
