When legacy media compare Orban's treatment of the press to Trump's, do they realize they're telling on themselves? Big corporate media folded. Independent media stood up there and is standing up here. Support Democracy Docket now. demdock.com/4w6emld

I like this answer. We don't have to and shouldn't wait until a genocide reaches the proportions of the Holocaust before doing something about it. 👏

"The Romans occupied England from the 1st to the 5th century, so anyone of Roman descent has a historical claim to the land." It's one of the best sketches I've ever seen, it is so accurate and highlights the situation in Palestine.

A Mighty Girl

Over four weeks this summer, at least three men murdered their families, killing 12 children among them.

On July 24, in Michigan, Kristopher Karolkiewicz shot his wife and their six children and set the house on fire.

On July 31, in Wisconsin, Jeffrey Manke killed his two daughters, 11 and 16.

On August 23, in Montana, Alan Smith gunned down eight of his relatives -- his parents, his grandmother, his sister, and four children -- at a Sunday dinner.

Together, the three men killed 17 people, 12 of them children. And within a day or two, each story had vanished from the national news.

Compare this to the coverage of the Lindsay Clancy case. For weeks, the trial of the Massachusetts mother, who killed her three children in 2023, has been a media fixation.

Cable networks have carried it live. CNN, NBC, the Boston Globe, and others have run day-by-day live blogs. Reporters have packed the courthouse by the dozen, some sitting on the floor for lack of room. And the trial is only the latest chapter: the case has been dissected in the national press and on true-crime podcasts for years.

A mother killing her children becomes a national obsession; a father doing the same quickly becomes yesterday's news.

The obvious explanation for the discrepancy is timing: Clancy is on trial, while these three men killed themselves and left no one to prosecute.

But it doesn't hold up. Men who murder their families do stand trial -- and their cases almost never command this kind of sustained, wall-to-wall attention.

The true-crime sagas that grip the nation for years overwhelmingly feature women who kill. The gender of the killer, it turns out, matters more than the crime.

The numbers tell a different story than the headlines. Family annihilation in America is neither rare nor evenly distributed.

According to a 2023 investigation by the Indianapolis Star, drawing on data from the Gun Violence Archive, someone in this country murders their own family roughly once every five days.

And the people who do it are almost always men -- by expert estimates, some 91 percent of the time. A gun is used in about nine of ten cases. The victims, disproportionately, are children.

The silence has a dangerous cost. Violence by men has become so normalized that even its most extreme form -- a man murdering his own family -- barely registers. And that silence compounds itself: because these killings rarely break through the noise, most people have no idea how common they are, or how overwhelmingly they are committed by men. The pattern disappears into the background, one fleeting headline at a time.

None of this diminishes the horror of a mother who kills. It only raises the question: why does that horror seize our full attention, while the far more common version -- committed by fathers, husbands, sons -- slips past us in a day?

Here's the story of how we learned about the Imagination Library: My older kid was a preemie. When he got out of the NICU, the hospital connected us to services. There were home visits and an occupational therapist. It turned out the kid didn't need a lot of support, but we were grateful for it. 1/

We live in a culture obsessed with individual action. Because of that - and fossil fuel companies promoting carbon calculators - we’re convinced the most important thing we can do is to watch what we eat, how we travel, or what we use. Yes, those things do matter. But this is what matters MORE ⬇️
