What other urban warfare has a roughly 1:1 combatants v/s civilian victims ratio?
What other urbanโoccupying powerโ has been held accountable for the deeds of active militant power of the โoccupiedโ area?
And about 90 million shrugged and looked the other way.

Initial reports are 4 journalists injured (several bleeding), 3 cameras broken, 5 put in zip ties.
All in defiance of state law, a judge's order, and chief's signed order.
LAPD can't police itself. Maybe the judge will.
DeKalb County Police Department confirmed officer David Rose died aged 33 in the line of duty after a gunman, who is dead, opened fire on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention building, close to the Emory campus Friday afternoon.

That needs to be repeated until Wednesday. Not fever dreams of what two reality challenged old men think they can conjure out of thin air. Stop giving them power they don't have.
Youโll notice that itโs ALWAYS white men who have these kinds of ignorant, STUPID takes.
White men who ONLY have smoke for the Black and Jewish and female led Democrats; and NONE for โthe party of the white man.โ
ITโS WHITE MEN.
ITโS ALWAYS BEEN WHITE MEN.
THEY CANNOT BE TRUSTED IN ANY WAY.
A reminder that the reason we keep seeing the NYT frame Trumps attacks on higher ed like this is bc more so than anything else he's doing, this is the thing they agree w the most. Chris Rufo did not become their de facto assignment editor on this by accident, its what ownership & leadership wanted.

HORRIFIC: A Jewish man was beaten in front of his children, in Montreal. The attacker then threw his kippa into the water.
How twisted must someone be to attack a father in front of his young kids? Antisemitism in Canada is out of control.
I can only hope the person filming stepped in to help.
By my count this makes 5 out of 12 authors on the Polari First Book longlist who have withdrawn. It's hard to understate the moral courage this involves, esp for folk launching their first book into the world. As so often, those with the most to lose end up showing the most moral fibre.

RIP to a legend. Today, the world lost the incomparable Jim Lovell, NASA astronaut and veteran of Gemini 7, Gemini 12, Apollo 8 & Apollo 13, the first person to fly to space 4 times, and the first to fly to the Moon twice.
Ad astra and godspeed, Captain Lovell. ๐
