“Dr. al-Farra said that most of the victims were children aged between 10 and 13, many with gunshot wounds to the head or chest.”

The @nytimes.com edited out this quote from its reporting on the mass killing of people at a food aid distribution site in Gaza—here’s the original:

This week, CODEPINK Britain joined Healthworkers for Palestine in honouring the life of Dr. Adnan al-Bursh, who was tortured to death by Israel in April 2024.

We honour him and the over 1,200 healthcare workers who have been killed by Israel in the past 18 months.

I was doing street plays on reproductive rights and racial pay disparities when I got out of college

It's just another way of making sure the parts o racism they enjoy and thrive from keep going

and creates an atmosphere where if Black people don't coddle them it justifies resource withdrawals
People are trying to act like it’s a new propaganda campaign but I’ve been seeing ‘Diversity is white genocide’ billboards around the country since like the mid 2000s & they been running this play to gaslight people since forever.

This shit is not a new thing. It’s just nobody ever cared.

The fact that we were conditioned to accept the mass killing of infants in Gaza and the fact that we are now witnessing toddler citizens be disappeared are related.

An autism "registry" culled from private medical records could potentially violate federal privacy laws and runs the risk of abuse.

It also harkens back to a time when disabled people were labeled, segregated, and excluded. We won't go back.

The overwhelming messaging on Covid in media right now is that it’s something that was once very serious, and now is over. And every week, a new waterfall of studies comes out showing the continued and growing long-term health risks of repeated infections. Our language has got to respect that truth.

Some it pulls power away from the professional bodies and into the hands of MPs.

Most health professional bodies, associations, and unions are very concerned.

It might not have made it on your radar but some sketchy things are a foot with our current coalition government looking to overhaul health professional regulatory bodies, claiming the move "puts patients first" but looks to put profit first and remove cultural competence from professional standards

New Zealanders could be forgiven for thinking Pete Hegseth is just some embarrassing chud, and he is.

But he also has a tattoo of the same phrase the Christchurch shooter used in his manifesto, and a staffer at one of his 'charities' reported him for chanting "kill all Muslims".

The Trump admin has just detained Mohsen Mahdawi, who:
–has green card
–was Columbia Buddhist club president
–saw his best friend shot & killed by Israeli soldier
–said "we are against antisemitism because antisemitism is a form of injustice, and injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

Mahmoud Khalil was a breaking point, the vertex of so many contradictions.

Now, Mohsen Mahdawi presents one more chance for all of us in this country to look at each other, and to know this is not what we choose to be part of.

There is nothing to be done in this moment except everything.

I'm not going to stop saying this. We need to stop calling it "deporting." It may not always be fair or humane, but deportation has a process. And it means you're sent back to where you came from. These people are being trafficked and sold to slave prisons. Not deported.

stop calling things deportation just because they call it deportation.

-You cannot legally deport people without due process.

-You cannot legally deport citizens.

-They are defining down deportation to break the law.

I honestly think this point is more than whatabouttery. There were multiple obvious angles for Jago follow-ups – a convicted sex criminal presided over two different sexual abuse investigations, for a start – and no one did it. Otoh, joining this current pile-on is cost-free.
Guys how many articles and follow-ups have we had about Tamatha's (entirely valid) police comments now vs Tim Jago pieces? Asking for a nation with declining trust in media
At this point, my reaction to yet more feigned outrage on the front page is "good for her".

that Noem video reinforces my belief that there is a streak of sexualized sadism on the US right that goes back to lynching imagery but began in its most recent form with the enthusiasm for torture during the Bush years.

Also 'trump lads' is a wild way to frame people with clearly fascist leanings. What is Manhire up to 😅😭
Funny that the Spinoff run this graph in a story about Trump politics in NZ but then don't actually interrogate what it means...

This is again *wildly at odds* with the way NZ media cover politics and ACT in particular - why??
