How do you “rescind” or “repeal” a scientific finding? That’s not how science works. The word (method) they’re looking for is “falsification,” but that is too much bother for truth-by-decree.

It’s been obvious how much Netanyahu has prioritized saving his own skin over the fate of the hostages or retaining any global sympathies for Israel, let alone minimizing casualties, and has repeatedly chosen to prolong war. But never in such intricate detail.

Prediction: Afrikaners are no longer imperiled. Mars is declared a loser planet.

Whoever sees this mostly in terms of Trump's sympathy for the "besieged" Afrikaners misses the point. It's all about signaling what kinda immigrants America welcomes with open arms vs. those who will be terrorized without due process. And that's meant to be a subset of generally favored Americans.

After making a quick 25% return on insider trading, Trump will still impose a 150% tariff on Chinese panda plushies and I ❤️ NYC keychains.

Even wealthy trumfers may finally begin to grasp that their interests are no more aligned with trumf, musk, et. al., than are those of WWC americans who voted for salvation. All but a handful of the 1% are feeling pain, but a 30% drop in wealth means nothing to these robber barons.

Duterte's crimes were immense. What are the conditions for the compliance of national authorities with the ICC? When current leadership is aligned with its objective. Pres. Marcos Jr found an ally in a family feud.

Worse than anyone imagined? Cite your sources, formerly reputable media outlets. We readily imagine much worse (black monday, worthless $, unaffordable everything, US citizens detained abroad, nuclear war… the imagination runs wild). And it's just getting started.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

The Reichskulturkammer (est. 1933 by Goebbels) suppressed & mocked "degenerate art." The day after Trump installed himself as chairman of the Kennedy Center (along with installing loyalists on its board), it cancelled a musical promoting degenerate themes.

The same "philanthropists" who committed billions to combat climate change have kept their mouths shut while Trump "dismantle[s]" climate policy. Today, on Tu B'shvat, the "birthday of the trees," commit to the mitzvah of replanting the trees that allow us to breathe on this planet.

The first concentration camps in Germany were established soon after Adolf Hitler's appointment as chancellor in January 1933. The Storm Troopers (SA) and the police established concentration camps beginning in February 1933.
