Israel is continuing to bomb, starve, torture and displace Palestinians, committing war crimes and crimes against humanity with total impunity in Palestine, Syria, Yemen and Lebanon. We cannot turn away or let our governments normalise these abuses.

I've now watched the censored 60 Minutes report on CECOT. If you watched it too—and if you have any decency at all—I'm sure you came to the same conclusion I did: winning elections won't be enough; people like Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem will need to be charged and imprisoned.

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism.

CBS Pulled a “60 Minutes” Story Because the White House Refused to Comment — That’s a Veto on Journalism
Pulling a finished investigation because the administration refused to comment isn’t journalism. It’s submission.

60 Minutes journalist Sharyn Alfonsi sharply summarizes the appalling decision of Bari Weiss not to run her CECOT story: “If the administration’s refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a ‘kill switch’ for any reporting they find inconvenient.”

Matt Yglesias consistently treats net zero as if it’s some arbitrary goal that activists want, not a goal that scientists say is necessary to preserve a livable planet for all. He so badly wants a solution that sounds "reasonable" that he's willing to ignore and dismiss scientific reality.

What tests can I hire these people to perform that will definitely result in failure of the vaccine, so I can falsely claim that the vaccine doesn't work and is harmful?
