Whatever your personal beliefs on Assisted Dying, we should all be able to agree on 2 fundamentals: No means no. If a patient doesn’t want it, end of discussion. It should never be offered in lieu of care or social supports. If it is, it’s not compassion. It’s eugenics 🧵

A US Senator has decided that the existence of protests give him the right to demand any record from any private person or organization ideologically aligned with the protests. All of your messages should be end to end encrypted. Also Cryptpad is far more feature complete than it used to be.

tomorrow on the front lines of protests, people should sing “Do you hear the people sing” and “one day more” to immediately block Trump/Vance (who saw Les Mis tonight) idiots from claiming it for their bullshit. Is there anyone in big cities who can sing extremely well

Apparently, because it’s 2020 again, I need to start a thread on police violence targeting journalists in the US. So, here we go: 1. Australian journalist Lauren Tomasi shot by police officer with less lethal munition. m.youtube.com/watch?v=yrFJ...

As LAPD makes this announcement over a P.A.: "I hereby declare this to be an unlawful assembly" Literally 5 SECONDS later, the first impact munition round is fired. MULTIPLE munitions are launched before the announcement is finished. It's no longer audible over the booms and frightened screams.

NEW—A US contractor with inside look at the “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.” Some contractors never deployed before—or are ex-cops. None are confirmed as trained for the guns they were given. They saw the IDF targeting Palestinians. “This idea that the Israeli military isn't involved is bullshit.”

LAPD appears to have kettled protesters around 7:45pm to prevent them from leaving, waited for the 8pm curfew to kick in and then mass-arrested them for curfew violations.

Ich mag das Wort "Selbstoptimierung" nicht. Das impliziert ja geradezu, dass man nicht gut ist, so wie man jetzt ist. Nicht genug. Ich finde es viel entspannter einfach zu tun wozu ich Lust habe, neues zu Lernen auf das ich Lust habe. Ganz ohne diesen ganzen Optimierungsmist.

This article in the Financial Times is encouraging US citizens to move to Europe. There are so many layers to it but the underlying vibe is “not all of you”. “Fortress Europe, so unwelcoming to people from poor countries, keeps one gate permanently open for Americans”. Quiet part, out loud.
