In my experience, it is difficult to prevent a genocide by providing the genocider with unlimited weapons
As famine plagues Gaza, NPR exclusive reporting looks at the U.S. role in the humanitarian crisis. Many former officials NPR interviewed share a common refrain: Did we do enough to prevent this?

They don't need prayers. They were literally in church. What they need are laws that prevent this kind of senseless yet quotidian violence. And you know, this Ted.

You know, fascist regimes have a proven track record of suppressing science and education; it's part of the fascist playbook.

I can confirm the PBS Passport is a very good deal for $5/month or $2.50/month if you do yearly.
Thousands of hours of top notch content. NOVA is great. The new Ken Burns doc on Leonardo da Vinci is excellent.

One day. That’s the slap in the face the DOJ is calling “accountability” in Breonna Taylor’s case.
Now they want to act like civil rights charges were too much? Please be for real.
If you’re wondering how little they value Black lives—look no further.

DOJ seeks one-day sentence for officer in raid that killed Breonna Taylor
