It's Generational Moral Injury Really

@bankuei

Oppression unpunished becomes the norm. If we wait for those in power to find a line their conscience cannot bear, it will be a line far on the horizon with nothing but unmarked graves the whole way there. They will not stop until they're made to stop.

. Immigrants kidnapped and hit with decades worth of legal fees

( the majority of immigrants deported being Indigenous and Black immigrants over represented)

And it being mostly underreported outside of local

The real kicker is …

Nothing about these men’s position has changed.

NOTHING

they put it in writing

THE ONLY thing that has changed is they are no longer exempt from it

They would not be heee AND THIS WOULDN’T BE COVERED

if the targets still looked like me and mine

She wasn't attracted to the right by the romanticized aesthetic of
"traditional America" - big beautiful houses and bread-making and families with half a dozen children. Rather, she says, "I was in love with the frisson of transgression." The online right had begun to engage more explicitly with forbidden subjects: nativism, race science, and gender essentialism drawn from evolutionary psychology. "There was an element of Gnosticism to it

lol she admits it’s about race and gender and being elite

And still we don’t ask any better questions

Because we feel smart ? You still think it’s just β€œ leopard eating faces”

And not a system of spectacle and forgiveness that ultimately leaves the people she helped harmed erased

If most Americans care about the climate, why is the US clawing back protections? | Colorado Public Radio Two thirds of Americans say they are concerned about climate change. Asked whether they are directly affected, and the percentage plummets. Asked what they should do about it, and it shrinks further. ...

I was unaware how much tobacco marketers went on to influence our perceptions of climate change.

It's always eye-opening -- and inspiring -- to speak with atmospheric scientist and educator @katharinehayhoe.com:

That these people were so arrogant in their access to power and resources that it would never even OCCUR to them their new besties were painting targets on their backs.

I've been assuming that some sort of cops were involved, tbh, and that's why nobody's updating us. We know they're not above kidnapping people, not just officially but when they're off-duty. (Remember that bitcoin guy who got kidnapped and tortured in NYC? Off-duty cops were involved in that.)

One of my favourite artworks from Sudan's 2018-19 uprising. The Arabic writing translates to "A woman's place is the resistance" (by A. Satir, 2019).

The dude witnessed Trump's first term and then promoted him right before the election. The Epstein stuff and Iran war mongering wasn't new.

Facebook post by Nekima Levy Armstrong:

"Friends, A Breaking News headline just appeared in the Star Tribune, claiming that the national Target boycott ended today. This is false. The writer of the story, Carson Hartzog, is fully aware that the Target boycott was launched in Minneapolis on February 1, 2025. I have spoken to her several times since then, yet she failed to reach out to me, Jaylani Hussein, or Monique Cullars Doty, the three founders of the national Target boycott for the story. Carson even used the photo from our press conference that includes my daughter, Assata Joy and Ms. Rosemary Nevils, an elder in our community, to try to add legitimacy to a bogus story. 
I am once again disgusted by the Star Tribune and their attempts to minimize and erase the voices of our community. 
The nationwide Target Boycott is not over, unless and until Target reverses its decision to rollback Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, as we said from the beginning. β€œPastor” Jamal Bryant does not speak for us or our community and has zero authority to end the nationwide boycott of Target, a company that is headquartered in Minneapolis. 
Please don’t believe the hype and these attempts to rescue Target from the effects of capitulating to the Trump Administration. Target rolled back DEI because of Donald Trump. They donated $1 million to the Trump/Vance inauguration committee. Target also allowed ICE to stage in its parking lots during Operation Metro Surge.
The nationwide boycott of Target is successful and it will continue. Please continue to shop elsewhere."

CONCLUSIONS
In our sample of 650,173 COVID cases among active-duty military personnel, a total of 278,278 were identified as having post-COVID-19 syndrome (42.8%). Of these, 273,405 reported post-COVID symptoms in at least two visits (42.1%). Our findings showed that the top three symptoms of post-COVID-19 syndrome in military personnel are related to pulmonary, neurological, and fatigue issues. Mild to moderate cases of this syndrome could leave military personnel with long-term deficits in their overall fitness and readiness. This readiness is a critical aspect of military effectiveness, ensuring that personnel can respond rapidly and decisively to threats. Thus, continued assessment and potential treatments are needed to assist active-duty military personnel to improve their overall health outcomes.

Oh look, the πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ military concludes over 40% of COVID infections lead to Long COVID, among a population sample that is all adults, & on average in better physical condition & younger than the national/global population.

"private credit" is a rebrand of what used to be called shadow banking, it's just massive capital loans that dont have the same reporting/collateral requirements, and it has EXPLODED in the last decade, from hundreds of millions to trillions.

It's the same problem of the mob or other dynasty based organized crime; eventually down the line someone's nephew or son forgets how important it is to only squeeze (this) hard, not more, and someone forgets you have to treat (these) guys right or everything crashes down.

An apocalyptic view of Tehran with an orange glow and thick black smoke rising on the skyline from a bombed oil refinery

Spent some time today trying to fathom why the markets don’t seem to care about an unfolding catastrophe.

Then I remembered it took them 6 weeks to realise there was a global pandemic, even with wall to wall footage of dead bodies around the world.

Six years ago WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Despite tens of millions of deaths, the world has not sufficiently addressed the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, and we are more vulnerable to future pandemics due to anti-science officials leading government agencies around the world.

So Hormuz generally saw 20m barrels per day, so the combined release of 400m by the IEA and 172 from the US SPR buys them just about a month or so, right?

Except the oil in the reserves probably can't come out at 20m per day, so an incomplete solution for slightly longer?

Genocidal people have no moral floor; every form of harm is on the table because their goal is mass death. People who want millions dead are declaring their willingness to do every other crime along the way.

It's not about law, it's about ethnic cleansing.
