NEW: The @nytimes confirms that ICE deliberately electronically "disappeared" tens of thousands of people in detention and ordered contractors to refuse to reveal where they're held to family or lawyers.
30% of all immigrants detained in ICE jails now have their location hidden.

احتمال درگیری نظامی نه تنها منتفی نیست بلکه درگیری به شکل مجموعه ای از ضربات محدود به اهداف خاص، محتمل تر هم شده است. سرنوشت مذاکرات با واسطه ای که امریکا در آن حاضر به امتیازدهی نیست، مهم ترین فاکتوری است که این امر را تعیین تکلیف خواهد کرد. اما اکنون تهدید دیگری در حال ظهور است که دستکمی از یک درگیری نظامی بزرگ ندارد. شواهد نشان می دهد این احتمال در حال جدی تر شدن است که امریکا موقتا از ایده جنگ بزرگ فاصله بگیرد و بر ایجاد ناآرامی، بی ثباتی و آشوب در ایران از طریق تلفیق 3 مولفه متمرکز شود: 1-تشدید محاصره، 2-عملیات شناختی گسترده در ایران با هدف ایجاد شکاف و بی اعتمادی میان مردم، و میان مردم و مسئولان و 3-ضربات نظامی و اطلاعاتی محدود به زیرساخت های اقتصادی با هدف تشدید کمبودها و مشکلات. این الگویی است که احتمالا دموکرات ها و تیم آیزنکوت هم با آن موافقند و می تواند زمینه را برای یک آشوب دیگر در سالگرد 18 دی و سپس حمله ای دیگر در نیمه زمستان آماده کند. اکنون شواهدی از حرکت دشمن به سمت این راهبرد مشاهده می شود. در نتیجه، از یک سو، ما -ولو عده ای نپسندند- ناچاریم متحد بمانیم. شکاف در جامعه، تجربه دو جنگ را برای بار سوم تکرار خواهد کرد. این نه یک شعار سیاسی بلکه یک ضرورت امنیت ملی است. از سوی دیگر، ولو جنگی نباشد، ما نمی توانیم تداوم محاصره، عملیات اطلاعاتی و جنگ شناختی دشمن را تحمل کنیم. ایران نیازمند تدوین یک راهبرد نظامی برای پاسخ به فشار اقتصادی و شناختی است. رفع محاصره ارزش آن را دارد که یک جنگ نظامی فراگیر از سوی ایران آغاز شود. مردان شجاعی که امر جنگ را در ایران مدیریت می کنند، به ایده های بسیار خلاقانه ای در این باره اندیشیده اند.

Thank you to everyone who donated yesterday! Moving forward, we’re committing $100/month from the show to @sameerproject. Can you match us, in part or in full? Recurring donations help organizers plan ahead and sustain their work over time.
Let’s keep the chain going!
In just 36 hours, heavy rain turned streets in Gaza into rivers and flooded entire displacement camps, support now: chuffed.org/project/113222-t…. Families who went to sleep under canvas woke up to soaked mattresses, drenched clothes, and shelters they could no longer sleep in.
Early reports put the number of shelters destroyed in the tens of thousands. The full scale is still becoming clear, with perhaps over 150,000 tents and makeshift shelters destroyed. Right now, families need somewhere dry to sleep and something warm to wrap around their children.
Help The Sameer Project buy durable, waterproof tents, tarps, and blankets. Please donate to our winter response by clicking on our General Fund link. Families need shelter now: chuffed.org/project/113222-t…

A very young @nijmeijer_tanja - a Dutch woman - came to Colombia, was struck by the abject poverty, and got involved in the FARC. She has now written a remarkable memoir of her time in the fight, Into the Jungle: My Life as a Guerrilla in Colombia, from @PlutoPress (plutobooks.com/product/into-…). Do read this wonderful account of a country that remains in distress.

On Saturday, I found myself hundreds of meters from Poland’s first terrorist attack in Kraków’s medieval market square.
The attacker’s motive remains unclear; the massacre may well come to resemble a US-style school shooting more than an ideologically-driven terrorist attack. We simply don’t know.
But political figures and commentators were quick to point the finger. Some accused the far right, others accused “antifa”. Some accused Russia, others accused Ukraine. Long after the police established that the shooter was a Polish national, right-wing accounts continued to fuel suspicions that he was a “migrant”.
The response feels symptomatic of the deepening polarisation of Polish society, and the Americanisation of our politics. In Poland, general public impotence over questions of life and death — our economy is neoliberalised and our foreign policy beholden to NATO — is increasingly canalised into culture wars on questions of migration, LGBTQ rights, and historical memory. Questions of peace, or redistribution, remain off the democratic table.
“We do not yet have a clear picture of Oksiński’s motives.”
As politicians rush to weaponise the Kraków attack, @pawelwargan argues Poland’s political establishment should instead confront the polarisation and institutional crisis it helped create.

Happy belated birthday to non-cooperating Prairieland prisoner, Elizabeth Soto! Her birthday was November 8th!
Elizabeth was sentenced to 50 fucking years in federal court back in June! And she's now being held in Johnson County Jail as she still has state charges!

REMEMBER YOUR NAME (1975)
Director: Sergei Kolosov
“Remember, boy, your name is Gena! Your surname is Vorobyov! Your Motherland is the Soviet Union! Genochka, I will come back for you! Your name is Gena Vorobyov!”
Everyone should watch this film at least once.
Remember Your Name is a Soviet-Polish war drama directed by Sergei Kolosov and based on real events.
It tells the tragic story of a mother and her young son, who were separated in Auschwitz, and their reunion many years later.
The leading role was played by the outstanding Soviet actress Lyudmila Kasatkina, the director's wife.
The role of Zinaida Vorobyova was one of the most difficult of her career. And it wasn't just because she lost 13 kilograms for the part.
Years later, Lyudmila Kasatkina recalled:
“Many viewers wrote to me after watching Remember Your Name. They said they couldn't hold back their tears whenever they watched it. Some even feared their hearts might not be able to withstand such emotion.
Later, I read an article in which doctors shared the conclusions of their long-term observations about the effects of art on human health.
A neurologist, a physician and a psychologist all came to the same conclusion: our health suffers from our own anxieties and troubles.
But when a person feels compassion and experiences someone else's grief, they feel better the next day.
It means their soul is still alive. It means they are capable of empathy.”

Yahya Sinwar's book narrates the floods that took place in the 1960s: "Time and again the winter floodwaters surged into our small home's courtyard... Each time, fear gripped me and my three brothers and sister."
Mohammad broke our hearts yesterday during the rainstorm in Gaza. Today, on November 8th, The Sameer Project immediately responded to their need in Zaytoun neighbourhood. Keep supporting: chuffed.org/project/113222-t…
The Sameer Project provided the family with a dome tent, food package and a tarp. We also got Mohammad 3 pants, 2 scarves and a coat. Total cost was $710, including 11% commission. We purchased the dome tent for $550.
We plan to go back and give blankets and more aid to the family but also help the surrounding families. Mohammad is one of thousands in Gaza who lost their tents and belongings, and your support will allow us to help as many families as possible in the camps near the yellow line, like this one.
Donate now to our General Fund for more tent support: chuffed.org/project/113222-t….
