Yesterday I wrote about Troy Davis and the fact that he has been sentenced to death for a murder that he almost certainly did not commit. Despite copious evidence pointing to Mr. Davis’s innocence, the state of Georgia will likely give him an execution date in September. In that post, I asked that you watch [...]

Because The People Might Need It open thread.
Ta-Nehisi is clearly around and posting, but he’s two hours late on the open thread, and here I am, just getting back to my desk. So, just in case the folks need it: Consider this thread open! I’ll lead with dmf’s latest video offering which, I hasten to point out, really happened. It was songified, [...]

Tentative weekend open thread.
Update – Confidential to newcomers from Boing Boing: Hi! This is an odd place, covering everything from Star Trek to Middle East violence. Please take a look around! First comments go into moderation, so if you’re stuck there over Shabbat (when I don’t work), don’t worry. I’ll fish you out as soon as I can. [...]

“How Israel takes its revenge on boys who throw stones.”
I don’t know how to write about this. Is any of the information in the following surprising, or even genuinely new, to me? No. I’ve been reading and writing and protesting the horrors of the occupation for many, many years now, and I know that this is what a lot of Israeli soldiers do. I [...]

The “It’s 12:30 EST. Do you know where your Ta-Nehisi is?” open thread.
Have at it, oh mighty Horde. If you’re a newcomer – please scroll down and poke around! You may well find something of interest, and if you do, please do comment, and come back. (If you happen to already know me as an Israel/Palestine writer, here’s all that joyful palaver).

The Ta-Nehisi Coates Is A Very Busy Man open thread.
It looks like TNC is going to be good on his word and not post a lot this week, so here ye be: A thread, and it is open. Again: To all newcomers – Thanks for swinging by! If you scroll down and poke around, you’ll notice that I write about a rather ridiculously wide [...]

Jack Layton’s final words.
I’m not Canadian, and though I’ve recently tried to get a little bit more abreast of Canadian politics and culture (starting with the wonderful Canada! How does it work?, by Canadian extraordinaire Michelle Dean, at The Awl), I will confess that I had only the vaguest notion of who Jack Layton was before he died [...]

The I’m Not Sure What The People Might Want open thread.
So. Yesterday Ta-Nehisi linked to me from his wildly late open thread, essentially deputizing me as his bouncer. Squee! That was/remains/will never not be very cool! And then he posted something else. And since then: Nothing. First of all to all newcomers – helllooo! And welcome. If you scroll down on this front page, you’ll [...]
