It’s beyond sad and concerning that this needs to be explained.
Unfortunately it does….

So many who said „never again“ condone a genocide because they are too ignorant to see it for what it is, blinded by their unconscious internalised racism….

“People should be very concerned about the president and attorney general’s disregard for the law in this case,” Fathi said. “Today, it may be people who are very unpopular. Tomorrow, it could be anybody.”

Truly chilling story by @jessbravin.bsky.social. As close to “the cruelty is the point” being literally true as we’ve come so far. (Gift link)

Biden Spared 37 Killers From Execution. Trump Ordered Up a Lifetime of Torment.

Even America’s harshest federal prison, where inmates spend 23 hours a day in solitary confinement, was too good, one official said. “I’ve got no problem with gruel.”

The picture shows a graph of how long ME patients have to wait until the correct diagnosis. It ranges from 5.2 years in Ireland or the UK to 11.8 years in Croatia. Switzerland: 7.1 years. (Obviously they don’t sit around waiting for the diagnosis, but consult one doctor after another…)

Die Gegner der "Initiative für eine Zukunft" behaupten, mit der Erbschaftssteuer ab 50 Mio. werde eine unfaire Steuer für eine Minderheit eingeführt. Falsch. Für die Mittelklassen gibt es heute eine de facto Erbschaftssteuer. Die Pflegekosten für die Eltern. Nicht selten fressen diese das Erbe weg.

1) It's not been going on for 1000s of years
2) It's not about sides. It's about human rights, international law and basic human decency.
If you do not see that, maybe you ought not to comment on it.

Wie kann man mehrere Tausend Liter Diesel verlieren bevor man das stoppt ?!!!
Und wieso muss hier die Feuerwehr ölsperren einrichten? Die Armee sollte jeden einzelnen Mililiter selber entfernen müssen!

Petar Marjanović @piit.ch · 23h

Die Schweizer Armee hat beim Betanken eines Notstromaggregats mehrere tausend Liter Diesel verloren – sie landeten in einem Bach.

Die Feuerwehr hat Ölsperren eingerichtet. Der Bach ist aber auf rund vier Kilometer Lange verschmutzt.

The Lancet hat Recht: Mit Ausnahme der vor Ort tätigen medizinischen Hilfsorganisationen war die globale medizinische Community angesichts der systematischen Angriffe auf medizinische Einrichtungen, Personal und Patienten in Gaza ohrenbetäubend still. Es ist beschämend.

Oh look at that looks like he won the prize anyway.

This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer Freedom.

We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy.

I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!

Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
