Is it still necessary to point out that “human rights are a Soviet plot to use the inferior races to undermine and destroy white civilisation” is literal Mein Kampf stuff, by the way? I would like to think people can spot Nazi ideas when they see them, but it’s hard to be confident any more.
Absolutely standard stuff here printed in the Times, which has been doing various versions of “human rights are a Bolshevik plot cooked up between Marxist intellectuals and Muslim terrorists” for decades now, at escalating volume and intensity archive.ph/6IWIw

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta.
Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

Israel normalized genocide as a weapon of war—and the world is already copying the playbook. In Sudan, mass extermination has spiraled out of control using the same tactics Israel deployed in Gaza. mondoweiss.net/2025/12/isra...
Israel’s war on Gaza has made genocide an accepted weapon of war. We’re already seeing it in Sudan.
Israel’s genocide in Gaza set a global norm that views extermination as a ‘natural’ part of how nations and paramilitary groups wage war. We are already seeing this in Sudan.

Israel’s genocide has destroyed Gaza’s renowned strawberry industry
The Gaza Strip is renowned in Palestine for its bright red and delicious strawberries. Once a major agricultural export, Gaza’s fields of “red gold” have been decimated by Israel’s genocide.

Growing up in Gaza, I didn't realize that the siege I was living under was unique or that others didn't face a constant threat of death. It was only after I left that I understood I had grown up in a concentration camp, and that it shaped my life.

The evanescence of philanthropy is one of the macro trends of the next several decades that is probably going to have more cascading effects than realized.
After Dell, continuing the trend of disintermediating philanthropy from foundations to direct donations, getting tax benefit while saving overhead and purchasing political favor directly.

I remember feeling silly and paranoid, saying that our horrific politicians and media outlets were engaged in a concerted effort to basically outlaw Palestinian solidarity. But that’s absolutely what they’ve done, both to harm the left and distract from their complicity in crimes against humanity.
There has been a relentless, cacophonous campaign to stigmatise pro-Palestinian activists. But the inconvenient truth is that these are just ordinary people of good conscience who see the horrors of Gaza and simply cannot bear to stand by and do nothing.

Perhaps if they hadn't lined up with the establishment in demanding maximum repression of whistleblowers back then, leakers would be more forthcoming.
