Seems the Israeli military killed 27 people at a food distribution site in Gaza explaining they were shooting at some suspects and the dead were what military types call "collateral damage." One infers the value the Israeli military places on civilian Palestinian lives must be quite low indeed.

For more overview on #CutisYarvin the person leading #PeterThiel, #JDVance, #ElonMusk, etc. into believing American citizens should, in general, be put to death/subjected to genocide, or at least be imprisoned & tortured in concentration camps as a way to better serve a ruling class, see this vid:

In 2008 Yarvin wrote, "This new regime would sell off public schools, destroy universities, abolish the press, and imprison “decivilized populations.” Now we know who authored Project 2025.

A thing I was explaining to a reporter this week is there is no singular definition of a "state dei ban" because each state decided to target different functions within higher education in such a way that the actual unifying thread across the policies is segregation and censorship

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Robert’s green-lighting this UNCONSTITUTIONAL behavior, giving it a veneer of legality & normalcy.

See @colehood.bsky.social’s post about being fired from NWS… just because they could, not because of his job performance. As someone who lives in the path of hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires and apocalyptic freezes, I’m not exaggerating when I say people will die from these cuts to NOAA & NWS.

Every news outlet reporting Elon Musk's comment about accidentally canceling Ebola prevention efforts and quickly restoring them should also say they haven't been restored, they're still canceled, the outbreak-fighting teams are dismantled, the money is gone www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

washingtonpost.com

Musk says DOGE ‘restored’ Ebola prevention effort. Officials say that’s not true.

USAID’s initiatives to fight Ebola and other diseases have been gutted, current and former agency officials said.

When ordered by Nazis to give lists of disabled people by disability severity, some doctors sent back exaggerated data to protect patients from forced work They didn't know that the "most disabled" were to be killed first The moral here isn't to tell the truth It's to never co-operate with Nazis

The crudeness of the boilerplate fake performance complaints in these mass firings has an unsettling echo of how the banks in the financial crisis couldn't begin to prove they owned the loans but got away with foreclosing on people's homes with forged or missing documents anyway

Abruptly firing people who work in air traffic control is like murdering your own soldiers in the middle of a war. Even if you think things now aren’t working as efficiently as they should there’s no clear path to recovering from this; it’s just a really extremely foolish and dangerous thing to do.

People in tech talk about the idea of a “10x programmer” — someone whose work is worth that of 10 others. I get the impression Musk etc think they can apply it all over the federal workforce but like… there’s no such thing as a 10x ATC navigational aid maintenance worker. Some jobs just need people.

813 US billionaires held a record $6.72 trillion in wealth at the end of 2024. The bottom 50% of Americans held roughly $3.9 trillion in wealth. When 813 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

I love how Trump, Vance and Musk style themselves defenders of free speech, while simultaneously banning government agencies from mentioning climate change or diversity (inc biodiversity!), equity and inclusion, or even possessing maps which show the Gulf of Mexico. Torquemadas the lot of them.

Splitting this off because it's not directly related: It was *already hard* to stay in our fields before they started terminating funding for everybody and firing federal scientists.

I think some people want to like all victims, so when they don’t like someone who is a victim they reflexively undermine their victimhood by blaming them, creating a false equivalency between them and the abuser, denying they were abused, addressing the victim’s flaws but not the abuse, etc

I see some of the most regressive rhetoric around abuse come out of people who are generally not anti-victim but seek to undermine abuse when they perceive the victim as a bad person. It’s binary thinking about victims and abuse that perpetuates victim blaming logic

Justifying victim blaming in cases where victims have been immoral, unethical, and harmful just creates the fallacy that abuse can be denied if you just dig up or make up bad things the victim has done. We see this play out every day
