"An update of their analysis, produced after the publication of the study, revealed that the current violent death toll likely exceeds 100,000."

consider how incredibly tiny Gaza is and then tell me that this "war" doesn't have genocidal intent written all over it.

Mohammed bin Salman has now said no to Trump, Biden, and Trump again

Decent odds next Democratic president learns nothing from this and makes the same ask: give Israel everything in return for nothing

Woman deported from Maryland shown on video being dragged in Ghana Rabbiatu Kuyateh was detained this summer at her annual ICE check-in, her son said. She moved to the D.C. area 30 years ago as she fled civil war in Sierra Leone.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Time for my usual morning routine, pouring myself a cup of coffee and checking the stock price of the company "Nvidia" to find out if the entire economy has crashed

On what he's trying to insinuate here, i.e. the parochialism in the sociological classification systems in the states with their long and enduring history. I'm sure he'll stumble his way to a data point "proving" that he's always right. He's such a piece of shit

Pinker also thinks accusing Israel of genocide is blood libel. Don't ask if mr rationality dares seriously engage with the arguments and evidence produced in support of the claim in the icj. That would be like asking if he's aware of Africa having incredible levels of diversity pouring water 1/2

Steven pinker is up there with sam harris as public personas committed to snorting their own ethical farts, while maintaining how brave and heroic their schtick is. Another avatar of Voltaire's bastardism in the flesh... eloquence ain't insight folks.

Black History Now: The Multifaceted Art Of Toni Morrison | Essence Wherever there is Morrison’s voice, there is Blackness; wherever there is Morrison, there is womanhood; wherever there is Morrison, there are Black women, untethered.

Toni Morrison said she was touched by this article before she passed so this is why none of you can tell me shit about my writing or my reflections on Black Art.

I got so perplexed seeing some famous kenyan singer giddily celebrating seeing biblical sights in occupied East Jerusalem, and all notions of how impoverished the kenyan historical consciousness is hit me like a tonne of bricks.

It's also not lost on me the contradictions of claiming kenya as an important site of scientifically understanding humanity's history while speaking as if the Bible offers such a history.

Its nice to know that while twitter is long gone it lives on in the fact that when you see a verified checkmark you're about to read the dumbest shit you've ever seen.
