AP: Israel plans to halve aid into Gaza over slow return of dead hostages, a test for the Gaza ceasefire

"a test"? you mean...a violation?

Mamdani transparently loves new york and new yorkers and has things he believes in. That seems replicable

The modern Institutional Review Board exists because of the worst human rights abuses of the last century.

I’ll list some of them below.

If I send you this, know I’ve lost my shit

Following the protest, four officers were taken to the hospital for treatment of injuries. One officer had a broken nose and had his glasses broken, another was treated for pepper spray exposure, one sustained a finger injury while handcuffing and another sustained a lower back injury attempting to make an arrest.

In case you’re hearing about the “protest that turned violent” in Boston last week, here’s the “violence” in question, per the police report

Uh, the thing that killed the Aztecs was the fact that they DID subjugate their neighbors, a fact the Spanish were happy to exploit when looking for allies

Why stop at schools. Let’s do hospitals, workplaces, shopping centres, churches, gyms, all public buildings!

Opinion | Trump’s Nobel peace prize campaign is the least important part of the Gaza deal If the ceasefire holds, the administration deserves much credit. But the fixation on Trump getting a prize distracts from things that actually matter.

Trump took office with a Israel-Hamas ceasefire in place, then announced a vision for Gaza as a US-owned resort, with most Palestinians living there gone. Israel restarted military ops in March and imposed famine. Thousands of dead Palestinians later, the Trump admin helped broker another ceasefire.

@nome.bsky.social woohoo!

Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

ICE agents blocked an ambulance that was trying to take an injured protester to hospital.

"We are still not being allowed to leave by ICE officers.” an EMT said on radio

When driver tried to get out, an agent yelled, "DON’T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, I WILL SHOOT YOU"

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Outfielders be shoppin'

the spice extends life, expands consciousness

one thing perhaps worth emphasizing is that under federal law an escaped enslaved person was a criminal. an "illegal," you might say.

the cost of denying another's humanity is paid with one's own

YouTube video by DnD Shorts AI slop D&D is already here and I hate it

It really is heartbreaking watching DriveThruRPG and DMs Guild become AI slop cesspools. Shame on those platforms for not dropping the ban-hammer on slop day 1, instead offering a “human made” honor system toggle 🤮

More than 1,000 CDC staff receive layoff notices during government shutdown Another round of mass layoffs has struck CDC. The agency had already been cut during a reorganization this year, and more employees are now being shed amid the government shutdown.

BREAKING: Some of the layoffs at CDC are being REVERSED.
Here is my updated story.

MARCH FOR HEALTH & SCIENCE Washington DC, November 5@4PM

There’s a March for Health and Science being organized in DC for Wednesday, November 5.

They are trying to kill us

A furious person labeled both democrats and republicans screeches I hate you and hope you die at an innocent happy person labeled Zohran who is saying I like New York City

and theyll have u blv the negativity comes from the voters

Breaking: per internal sources, the entire Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), including OSEP and RSA beneath them, was RIFed last night at the Department of Ed. Developing story. DoEd union says may take 1-2 days for all affected employees to receive official notice.

For some context the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly report in addition to being just a good read, to quote wikipedia, "is the main vehicle for publishing public health information and recommendations that have been received by the CDC from state health departments. "

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

uh shutting down MMWR is, in no uncertain terms, crisis level damage for dissemination of accurate info throughout the medical profession

so we should probably all be wearing a mask again this winter

Playoff hockey is like a firing squad. Playoff baseball is like lethal injection but they can’t get the dosage right
