BBC ignored internal request to correct false claim Anas al-Sharif worked with Hamas - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/bbc-ignored-internal-request-correct-false-claim-anas-al-sharif-worked-hamas
Melissa Hortman practiced politics the right way.
When you publish a website that posts the names and photos of scholars who have written or said things you disagree with and encourage people to surveil and harass them, you are not, in fact, a “free speech” organization.
Defeat fascist twerps and their preferred candidates in the voting booth, not through political violence.
It’s all people need to say.
Police brutality is bad; systematic racial profiling and illegal deportations are bad; abortion clinic bombings are bad; mass graves are worse. You know what a child's skull looks like after multiple blunt-force traumas? That's the floor. Keeping everyone out of mass graves is the fundamental goal.
The big reason I'm trying to hammer "civil conflict/political violence" here is because I've spent a substantial chunk of the last five years looking at mass graves. I want a society where people aren't plotting to kill their neighbors and throw them into one. That's where all this can lead.
condemnations of political violence are well taken but it does feel as if some
prominent political commentators are of the view that violence isn’t a part of the history of American politics and that is very much not true.
Any reporting about right-wing influencers reacting to the Charlie Kirk
shooting with “we’re under attack, They won’t stop, this means war” should include other times they said something similar. Any violence, protests, verbal criticism, an interracial couple, you name it. They talk like that a lot.
Trump and Republicans are blaming the Left.
Again, Kirk's shooter has not been found and we don't know the motive and ideology.
It's almost as if they want to provoke violence so they can unleash the military and national guard on blue cities.
Oh wait...
On the eve of the UN General Assembly, Global Unions are demanding govts to recognize the State of #Palestine 🙌🏽🌍
Representing over 200M workers globally, we’re also calling for urgent measures to protect civilians, including deploying an international peacekeeping force in Gaza.

Perspective by Amy Mackin: Solidarity between male and female workers is crucial to advancing the cause in America.
I really like Secretary Dizon, and think he will do amazing in the Public Works Department, but the next Transport Secretary has some big shoes to fill (and I worry we may return to some car-centric policy)
Dizon’s transit-centered agenda is still incomplete and moving him out is bad timing
Considering the current composition of the Philippine Congress, investigative inquiries/hearings by the House of Representatives and the Senate would, for the the most part, just be shows of grandstanding and theatrics. Credibility: questionable.
MANILA, Philippines —The Commission on Audit (COA) has mobilized its auditors to conduct a comprehensive performance review of the government’s flood control initiatives, a direct response to the recent catastrophic flooding that submerged large parts of Metro Manila and surrounding regions.
Yeah it's not exactly subtle what's going on here
Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media.
Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are.
Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.
Quick thoughts on the Senate, the President, the midterms, and impeachment and the looming constitutional crisis.

As a henchman in the Philippines, Edgar Matobato says he killed again and again for former President Rodrigo Duterte. Now he’s trying to stay alive to testify, with the hope that recounting his crimes will lead Duterte to prison. nyti.ms/3W9E5JM

And it WILL mutate. It’s a scientific certainty. It’s just a matter of time.
They should’ve culled every fucking one of them cows. And I knew when they didn’t kill everything moving during the tracebacks and shelve all raw milk nationwide that it was over.

It may seem strange to folks outside of academia, but there has been a line of prominent research within it arguing that misinformation isn't a problem. This paper pushes back, noting how those arguments often rely on poor definitions & operationalizations of what misinformation is & how it works.
Good time to reshare this, since apparently a future with rampant polio is on Kennedy's "to-do" list.
Polio can only be prevented, not cured. Once infected, a person can have lifelong complications. The vaccines have been thoroughly tested and are safe and effective. There is no controversy here.
Pundits keep pretending that RFK Jr is "anti Big Pharma" but that is just what anti-vaxxers say to make their ideas seem palatable. He constantly promotes Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine, both of which are produced by pharma companies.

When you normalize totally deranged ideas that could kill millions as if it's "being tough on big pharma" you do in fact pave the way for millions to die. This is a direct cause and effect relationship.
Melvil Fucking Dewey, indeed.
They'll certainly be chipping away at the personhood of anyone not white, cis, hetero, male, and able, that's for sure. They've already shown themselves who they are many times over.
Also all their handwringing about fertility supports this.
