In our latest, we discuss a disturbing set of arguments that evidence of famine in Gaza—and genocide deaths themselves—can be invalidated by showing that the victims had “pre-existing conditions” or “underlying health conditions”

It will continue to be (and already is) easy to deceive a large number of people around us, as all they need to do is relate to some aspect of the identity of those who will sell them out or harm them. Many are marching right into endless excuses with no thought behind it.

People are online talking about some of the most powerful politicians in the world like they're a cousin who works at a local store, just because they share race, gender, etc with them. You don't have to completely discard identity, but it doesn't automatically indicate integrity.

The idea of representation has really fried some people's understanding of the world around them when they're describing powerful politicians like disempowered family members who deserve unwavering support because of identity traits.

“Overemphasizing law is about returning to a normal where the screams were more easily muffled, distant, and ignorable for many.”
Legal forms of resistance and litigation strategies aren't the only ways to fight. Thinking so misrepresents the past and weakens the present. It also reveals a strong naivete about the supposed objectivity of oppressive laws. I wrote about it for @prismreports.org. prismreports.org/2025/04/29/t...

This exchange is so very telling.
Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this:
"I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

there are so many awful things happening, and something in particular that I can’t get out of my mind is the man who was executed by firing squad ‘volunteers’ in sc because the state wouldn’t answer his questions about if the iv drugs would’ve been expired/where they came from.
