600k people murdered by a Nazi as part of a eugenic program to horde resources for white people. I think it's reasonable to call that a genocide.
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc
The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands
The short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.
This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.
We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

"We took freedom of speech away" should be in every campaign ad moving forward.
Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

When I talk about a reckoning, I don’t just mean impeachment and the like.
I mean for all levels of life in this nation. To praise the fighters who stood up to this cruelty. To vaccinate the children left vulnerable by MAHA moms.
I mean reflecting on what you yourself did…and didn’t do.

I so desperately wanted (still want) a Truth & Reconciliation Commission focused on the U.S. response to COVID-19.
Now here I am again.
I don’t know that I will live to see it, but THERE MUST BE A RECKONING for this fascist pivot.
We MUST create a space for rejection and repair to move forward.

Pro-tip: If someone who’s not Jewish shares an “abhorrent” quote from the Talmud, there’s a 99.9% chance that it either gets rejected less than a page later by other Sages, or was said in a highly-specific context that completely changes its meaning.

There are no good-faith anti-trans arguments, and mainstream media is controlled by capitalist patriarchal bastards.
On Friday 18 blue state attorneys general BLASTED the Federal Trade Commission, telling it to back off trans youth healthcare and warning of an insidious attempt to reshape the regulation of medicine in the US.
And nobody covered it.

What if wealthy businessman repeatedly failed to takeover over a company, then that company was the target of right-wing social media anti-woke outrage, then a competing company (owned by that same businessman) repeatedly publicly engaged in the right-wing social media anti-woke outrage…

If someone freelancing for a major donor did this during the Biden administration not only would Joe Biden have been impeached and removed from office but the person who did this and everyone who facilitated it would be facing +25 years in federal prison.
Wow. On NPR, @gbrumfiel.bsky.social reports a Social Security official “copied the Social Security numbers, names and birthdays of over 300 million Americans to a private section of the agency's cloud.”
The source is a whistleblower, who is named: Charles Borges, SSN chief data officer.

230ish million years ago there was a period of dramatically increased rainfall called the Carnian Pluvial period, which lasted 2 million years. And we, a short-lived species smaller than a mid boulder, can figure this out by looking at some rocks.
