Dehumanization in media, clear as day. This is a single screen shot from today, two headlines from The Guardian

For the humanized group, 15 killed in a "unrelenting" and "devasting" attack with an identified actor

For the dehumanized group, just 51 killed. No moral language, no identified actor

Pretty angry to wake up to an email from Harvard, my alma mater, with a full-throated capitulation to Trump's censorship campaign. More pathetic, servile "leadership."

If I were still a member of @hgsuuaw.bsky.social, I'd be calling for a strike before (more) students get black-bagged.

A little juxtaposition says it all

Can we stop waxing-nostalgic for a "rules-based order" that is unmoved by the slaughter of tens of thousands of children and the destruction of the planet's climate? That "order" has always (and continues to) accommodated racist plutocrats like Trump

Thank goodness we have "unbiased" media organizations doing the hard work of credulously regurgitating the patently bullsh*t reasoning the Trump administration gives for its McCarthyist attacks on Universities and the free speech rights of students
