My thoughts on the Islamic State's recent propaganda and how the group is reframing reversals

[Michael R. Bromwich @mrbromwich]

The Stone sentence commutation is a dark day for this country and for the Department of Justice. Of all Trump's corrupt interventions and subversions of the normal workings of the criminal justice system, this is the most corrupt. (more)

I finished @azelin's "Your Sons Are at Your Service" last night and it was honestly one of the most meticulously researched books I've read on jihadists. Aaron does a masterful job at providing a tremendous history of the role of Tunisians in global jihad, let alone AST!

[Ned Price @nedprice]

An extraordinary statement. It doesn't take issue with the underlying allegation, and Ratcliffe surely would've if it were inaccurate. In any other administration, the question would be why weren't POTUS/VPOTUS briefed, but this one portrays ignorance as an exonerating datapoint.

ISIS Nabaa weekly spin Idlib fighting to their advantage:
1. ISIS was blamed for declaring caliphate & themselves champions of Muslims. NOW HTS is doing just that
2. ISIS blamed for going its own way. NOW Qaeda says it's ok to go one's own way
3. Call on skeptics to rejoin them

Some news from @Harvard_Law, announced today: Over the coming year, I will be launching a new institute at Harvard, the Program on Mass Incarceration, which will use litigation, research, and advocacy to address our country's untenable and unjust approach to incarceration.

“It is easy for me to imagine a world in which Rayshard Brooks gets driven home that night instead of shot to death,” says Christy E. Lopez. “The question I have is whether we have the will and commitment to create a public safety system that makes that world a reality.” THIS!

[Christy Lopez @Christy_E_Lopez]

Look! Concrete ideas for how to put parts of public safety into the hands of non-police! @voxmedia https://t.co/WjBL8Rx8mu via @voxdotcom

My short synopsis of where we are and where we are going in terms of terrorism in the US starts around 24:30.

This short video captures the program I helped start at Georgetown with @brooks_rosa @ProfKrisHenning @shonhopwood and @LawProfButler. When I started it, I thought that insights from police officers insights are key to police transformation---and I still do.

"I’m really sick of having to explain my experiences with racism to people for them to understand that it exists," Sen. Kamala Harris told @llerer https://t.co/ak9r5C5Mvp

"In the end, this hearing is about the legitimacy and sustainability of our democracy. 'No justice, no peace' is not a threat. It is simply a description of how the world works," @LawProfButler tells @HouseJudiciary. (8/10)

[State of the Union @CNNSOTU]

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell says he will be voting for former Vice President Joe Biden. “I certainly cannot, in any way, support President Trump this year.” #CNNSOTU

[Aaron Y. Zelin @azelin]

Just finished reading @AzadehMoaveni’s book “Guest House for Young Widows: Among the Women of ISIS”.

Highly highly recommend it! Anyone that studies jihadism should read it.

I also hope people in government internalize it and learn from it.

Trump called today’s unemployment numbers “the greatest comeback in American history.” Tomorrow is the 56th anniversary of the D-day landing at Utah Beach, Normandy.

Will we ever again have so ignorant a president? My prayer 🙏 is: NEVER AGAIN.

[Vincent Evans @VinceEvans]

can you imagine 4 more years of the last 4 days?

[Nicholas Rasmussen @NicholasRasmu15]

Frustrating when you honestly can’t figure out if views expressed by a congressman reflect simple garden variety ignorance or instead constitute a deliberate effort to incite. Either way, the result is to promote more violence in American communities. Florida deserves better.

IS claimed attacks in Iraq and Syria continued to go up in May:

May: 193
Apr: 151
Mar: 101
Feb: 93
Jan: 88

Though the pace did slow down after Ramadan ended. So, something to track in the coming month.

Map for May.

[Christy Lopez @Christy_E_Lopez]

No, I cannot.
