Anniversary of halifax explosion so obligatory

"Hold up the train. Ammunition ship afire in harbour making for Pier 6 and will explode. Guess this will be my last message. Good-bye boys."

saved like 300 people on a train, and started the emergency response. Died for it

Let's be very clear that one of the major effects of the CDC no longer recommending various vaccinations is that it becomes much harder for folks who still want to be—or want their children to be—vaccinated to get their insurance providers to cover those vaccinations.

It's incredible the extent to which the UK is now a warning about what the US could become even as the US is simultaneously a warning about what the UK could become.

The two countries are somehow both dystopian visions of each other's future, and I don't like it one little bit.
This is the UK Labour Party, the left-liberal party who took power in a wave election after the fascist-adjacent conservs melted down.

We MUST prevent the US Democratic Party from turning into this. It is an essential priority. If they come to power and do this it will destroy America forever.
This is so disgusting.

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

Why, Hakeem Jeffries

Why
Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

Disabled people do not owe you their medical history.

They do not owe you their diagnosis.

They do not owe you an explanation.

Benefits are exceedingly hard to get and the process is punishing & dehumanizing.

This is some extremely sweaty bullshit
EXCLUSIVE: Pete Hegseth ordered the U.S. military on Sept. 2 to kill all 11 people on a suspected drug-smuggling boat because they were on an internal list of military targets, the commander overseeing the operation told lawmakers, according to multiple sources.
Admiral told lawmakers everyone on alleged drug boat was on a list of military targets
Adm. Frank Bradley said U.S. intelligence had identified the 11 people on the boat and determined the military was authorized to kill them as part of Trump’s campaign against alleged drug-smuggling vessels.

ICE ran over an immigrant’s legs with their SUV while attempting to detain him.

His family can’t locate him.

This is eerily reminiscent of the LA car wash raids where a man broke his leg and then disappeared for over a month.

ICE had him chained to a hospital bed under an assumed name

“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.”

The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida.

It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID.

Black people have always known what white people were about in this country. I’m not surprised they’re coming for birthright citizenship or that they’re snatching people off the streets, or that the bad economy isn’t stopping the power consolidation. White people want supremacy more than joy.
