This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

If you don’t know what this case is: Woman gets restraining order against violent ex. He violates it. She calls cops. They don’t come by. Repeat several times. Eventually, he murders her and daughters. Family sues cops, said had obligation to respond and failed. SCOTUS? “Nah, no obligation.”

it's not that cops will protect any officer from facing punishments on principle - in fact, they are very efficient at drumming reformist or liberal cops off the force - so the fact that prosecutors and cops stick their necks out to protect child rapists is a choice they repeatedly make.

Stop reporting the money requests from Gazans. They are using GoFundMe which verifies their identity. If you can’t/won’t help them then just ignore the requests but don’t prevent them from seeking help. They are being slaughtered and are doing whatever they can to survive. So don’t be an asshole.

Listen @aaron.bsky.team I’ve been pretty measured about the spam tag by Bluesky on here towards Gazan accounts even if I disagreed with it- but now just accounts from Gaza who are getting banned for no reason. @monahijazi.bsky.social has been on here for months and has tons of friends.

No words. For all the devastation Gaza has faced, North Gaza is a completely other level. I've always been hesitant to ever compare things directly to the Holocaust, but everything I'm hearing reminds me of the stories my family had passed down as well as what Jews have learned about our past.

This is where considering genocide a separate issue from your own personal/national struggles gets humanity: expanded extermination, terror, refugee crises, ecological catastrophe, & colonisation. Genocide is THE issue. Any other analysis is a damning misdirection.

Please read this. According to their account, the family did NOT want the police there. They tried hard to deescalate the situation. But 911 would not send an ambulance without the police. This is the exact catastrophe the family tried to avoid. www.nj.com/bergen/2024/...
