We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

Human desperation and agony so immense it is visible from space.

I recall how the U.S. once shared satellite imagery of the mass graves from Srebrenica to mobilize other countries to stop atrocities. (Graves I later visited.)

Now the U.S. is co-author of the satellite documented atrocities.

Anyone seeking to “but Hamas” this deliberate Israeli campaign of mass murder of children should be shamed out of public life, from policy makers to academics who have continued to act as if there is some meaningful debate over Israel’s intentions and actions.

Five survivors of Rotherham grooming gangs say they were also raped by police officers Three former South Yorkshire police officers arrested in investigation into claims by the women, as young as 12 at the time

God, the number of people who were willing to believe that the South Yorkshire police were too woke to prosecute sexual abuse cases, when in fact the police force was itself an instrument of patriarchal sexual violence. It’s like a case study in the worst excesses of the British press.

Migrants at a Miami immigration jail were shackled with their hands tied behind their backs and made to kneel to eat food from styrofoam plates “like dogs”, according to a report published on Monday into conditions at three overcrowded south Florida facilities.

The incident at the downtown federal detention center is one of a succession of alleged abuses at Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (Ice) operated jails in the state since January, chronicled by advocacy groups Human Rights Watch, Americans for Immigrant Justice, and Sanctuary of the South from interviews with detainees.

These ICE officials need to go straight to The Hague.

As entertaining it is to see current or former Whitehall figures throw unadulterated shit on a wall about ways to get around the Northern Ireland shaped problem to their imagined utopia, the arrogance of each and every attempt is truly vile.

when i was a young boy (sorry MCR pilled) law students at melb uni would tear out important pages in library books for high stakes assignments to hinder other students.

now as an academic ive seen people obviously insert needless obstacles into their replication files. it's even more sad.

American beaten to death by Israeli settlers in the West Bank The Council on American-Islamic Relations called on President Donald Trump to hold Israel accountable for the killing of U.S. citizen Sayfollah Musallet, 20.

Hey @nbcnews.com, the settlements aren't just "widely considered illegal by the International community." They have been deemed illegal by the International Court of Justice.

Language matters. Do better.
