We discovered at the inquest there was no need for Charlie to desperately seek a prescription in the final 48 hours of his life. He had the right to an “emergency supply” from a pharmacist even without a prescription. This was not said to him or my mum by any of the health professionals that weekend

The response was entirely positive, so let the Nazi Punch of the Day begin. It seems appropriate to start with a classic. This is from Captain America Comics #1. The cover date was March 1941, but from what I've read, it was on the shelves several months earlier. #NPD #NaziPunching

I probably would have been writing a ton about Project 2025 in 2024 if it were not for the genocide. I'm sure that's true about a ton of the best policy researchers out there. The impact of Democratic Party-backed genocide comes through in a thousand different ways that are largely not measurable

Step 0. Everyone needs to take step 0. What is your step 0? Do you believe in an expendable class of people? Do you believe the land is none of your business? Do you believe in owning property? Do you believe suffering is inevitable? Do you believe children have nothing to teach?

The real reason people say Musk is stupid is that every time he talks about any area that a particular person knows about, he reveals that he doesn’t understand the most basic things about it. Apparently this has never come up for Noah Smith.

1/ I am seeing a lot of comments on the slashing of NIH support along the lines of “universities should just spend their huge endowments.” I’m the last person to cheer on the institutional stratification rising endowments have contributed to. But let me explain why this is not a solution.

Just a reminder that in 2018, Palestinians in Gaza mounted the Great March of Return to PEACEFULLY show the world their plight. They walked, unarmed, to Israel's military fences around Gaza in peaceful protest. Israel shot 8,000 with live ammunition, killed 220 Palestinians. 36,143 in total injured.

That was one of many, many peaceful protests. My Dad participated in plenty of them in the 60's. They arrested him, tortured him with electro shocks then kicked him out of the country

Gentle reminder that the former Dean of UND defended racist "Siouxper Drunk" tee shirts under the defense of "free speech". UND also used the fact Ralph Englestad, (a Nazi memorabilia collector philanthropist) funded the arena as an ultimatum, to folks who called for changing the former mascot.

In New York, anyone who threatens to report a person's immigration status or suspected immigration status in order to coerce them into ceasing lawful conduct or abstaining from conduct which they have a right to abstain, is guilty of coercion in the third degree. This has been the law since 2021.

I’ll never forget courageous students at Virginia Commonwealth University walking out of their own commencement ceremony last year to protest against KKK GOPer Glenn Youngkin as he was speaking. This is how all GOP fascists should be treated.
