Yes!! This is going to have a much longer impact than the Epstein scandal.

The damn phones broke the UI conventions. Jobs kept things consistent, but then everything went to shit.

This is definitely one of the things driving my own desperation and anxiety: as a scholar of modern Africa, I know exactly what happens when a regime crosses into profound shamelessness and loots the state's infrastructure down to the last crumbs. You don't come back from that easily.

It is indeed a stunning failure of international morality and an indictment of our “civilization”. What we have is a war machine draped in a thin veneer of polite society.

The plan is to march from the Westlake Home Depot, the site of the last raid, to the MDC, where detainees have been taken for the last couple months. Video upload is trash, switching to photo for now

Raquel Ayora, @msf.ca General Director:
“In MSF’s nearly 54 years of operations,rarely have we seen such levels of systematic violence against unarmed civilians.The GHF distribution sites masquerading as ‘aid’ have morphed into a laboratory of cruelty.This must stop now.”

“The vast land you thought you belonged to does not shrink down to a table overnight. It takes years. You may assume that the cause of this shrinking is oppression and the fear it generates. But in fact it does not begin at the moment a clown takes over the presidency”

From her preface, this seems to be exactly what @ecetemelkuran.bsky.social is prescribing in her new book “Together - a Manifesto Against the Heartless World”

Reiterating that this strategy is duplicating the example of concentration camps in 1890s Cuba, when Spain forced residents to evacuate contested areas and congregate in approved detention sites, eventually killing more than 100,000 civilians—primarily through starvation, malnutrition, and disease.

Oh no. Depending on his age, 7 Psychopaths is the required remedy.

Authoritarianism Is Made—and It Can Be Unmade Autocrats do not merely fade away; they have to be countered and stopped.

Kennedy is an idiot

A very dangerous idiot!

Criminals are running the jails.

MSM mocks us for being “too online,” but the raw, human truth shows up here first,not sanitized for sponsors, not shaped into a neat story. It’s messy, but real. We’re not the problem. We’re the ones paying attention. We’re not just online,
we’re the archive.

Support Independent Media.

Mercenary sycophants.

🤮

So. The final solution is announced on Israeli tv.

In just 24 hours, five more people died of starvation. The total number of recorded deaths from hunger in Gaza has reached 188, including at least 94 children.

Just until they pony up their bribes.
