The "number of people normally cited as killed" (~50k atm) is the number which Gazan health officials have confirmed killed by violence. To be part of this number, an identifiable body or a witness must be brought to a hospital and issued a death certificate. Every hospital in Gaza has been bombed.

That estimate is six times the number of people normally cited as killed.

We need to have a conversation about how just as Zionists weaponize claims about antisemitism for their own ends and right wingers use antisemitism as a shield for fascism, there’s a slice of the left that uses Israel’s crimes against humanity as a convenient cover for airing out their antisemitism

Good morning ppl! The 19th of this month, a large portion of the FDA goes dark, employee wise. This affects everything from communications to you to loss of study data and shutting down of offices that protect you. Things are getting less safe all over.

NYT v Sullivan is one of the load-bearing pillars of press freedom in this country. Trump’s guys are taking an axe to it.
Trump megadonor Steve Wynn has filed a petition asking the Supreme Court to overturn the landmark 1964 decision in New York Times v. Sullivan, which protects the media's ability to aggressively cover public officials. www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

Convo with my friend from Hungary tonight who left after Orban’s election.
She said “your head will spin with all the wild stuff they try to pull, new things every day, but don’t take your eyes off the money. It’s all about the money, and what they’re stealing, and for whom.”
