This feels like what life was like before modern medicine. Four young kids, born to "Followers of Christ" family died of treatable illnesses. This is willful ignorance enabled by religious exemptions. Parents were not touched due Idaho's child abuse laws. www.propublica.org/article/idah...

Four Kids in One Faith-Healing Family Died. Authorities Could Do Nothing.
An exemption in Idaho law shields faith-healing parents from criminal prosecution for conduct that otherwise would be charged as neglect. It also keeps police and social workers from stepping in to pr...

NEW: GOP Gov nominee Victor Marx told backers on a Zoom call last night that he doesn't regret slamming his wife into a door to teach her a lesson about self-defense. "I'd do it again," Marx said. Marx says she fake cried and physicality is just the nature of their relationship.

This was all so avoidable. Trump's reckless war of choice in Iran has been an embarrassing national tragedy that has cost us in American lives, economic stability and affordability, and international credibility. #ResistTrump

Israel bombed Gaza’s Turkish cancer hospital, forcing doctors and patients to flee. Dozens later died without treatment. The hospital was then turned into a military base, where Israeli soldiers fire at civilians Monsters 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

I am aware of the history of 20th century fascism and grew up around Holocaust survivors. When fascism returns, they said, expect indifference or outright cowardice from 90% of your friends, neighbors and colleagues. AND YET, it still shocks me to see this groveling cowardice in real time.

screenshot of a social media exchange.

The top post from The White House (@WhiteHouse) features a video thumbnail of Donald Trump sitting at a desk with his hands folded, accompanied by the text: "The days of fraudsters stealing from the American people are over."

Below it, a quote tweet from Canada Hates Trump (@AntiTrumpCanada) reads: "The biggest fucking fraudster in American history who's pardoned hundreds of fraudsters and appoints fraudsters to run the government, says what??"

When hypocritical Labour MPs call the Greens “extremist”: -Continuing to export weapons to Israel, -75,000+ dead in Gaza, 20,000 of them CHILDREN, -Arresting 90-year-olds in wheelchairs for holding signs, THAT is what Labour extremism looks like.

As long as the Tories are threatening to leave the ECHR, they aren’t a serious party. Consider it the ultimate red flag. Any party who’d take this entirely unnecessary and ruinous risk with our rights and our country’s security and wellbeing should never get its hands on power. (Letter, Times)
Value of the
ECHR
Sir, In dangerous times, serious countries do not retreat into splendid isolation. They build alliances, multiply their influence and strengthen institutions. Key among those is the 46-member Council of Europe, at its heart the European Convention on Human Rights.As former independent reviewers of terrorism legislation we have seen at close quarters that the ECHR is not just a human rights instrument. It is a national security asset. Terrorist networks, hostile states, organised crime gangs and people smugglers do not respect borders. Tackling them requires arrangements for the closest possible co-operation with our neighbours, including through joint investigations and police access to European passenger, fingerprint, DNA and vehicle data.These arrangements expressly depend on internationally agreed human rights standards, applied by a supranational court. We detect no political willingness to excuse the UK from compliance with standards to which the rest of Europe already subscribes. As authoritarian powers grow more aggressive and democratic institutions face mounting pressure, Britain should not be abandoning one of its greatest postwar achievements.
The question is not whether we can afford to remain within the ECHR. It is whether, in an increasingly perilous world, we can afford not to.
Lord Carlile of Berriew, Lord Anderson of Ipswich, Sir Max Hill
