Businesses producing products and services catering to loved ones connected to someone who recently died are collectively known as the "death industry." But as this Norwegian bit of gallows humor makes clear, most industries deal in death at many levels. Worth watching! substack.com/@luizajarovs...

Pro-fascist-government judge issues an unconscionable punishment for opposing fascist government. The judge's stated intention is to intimidate those who might otherwise oppose being governed by fascists.

Steven is overlooking the obvious fact that when a supposedly real Democratic president (Biden) succeeded the previous Trump administration, he not only failed to meaningfully reverse most Trump's policies, but he went out of his way to continue things like building the wall, while protecting Trump.

In 2024, the Biden-Harris administration used administrative actions to gut protections for trans athletes and trans kids seeking gender affirming care, even as Democrats campaigned on the lie that they are protecting trans rights. Now Dems are joining Trumpers to further the damage to trans kids.

Global food supplies could be badly hit if Iran war drags on, says fertiliser boss
Yara’s Svein Tore Holsether says it would be ‘catastrophic’ if the strait of Hormuz was closed for a year The boss of one of the world’s largest fertiliser companies has said global food supplies could be badly damaged this year if the Iran war becomes an extended conflict. Svein Tore Holsether, the chief executive of Norway’s Yara International, has called on global leaders to consider the impact that soaring food prices will have in some of the world’s poorest countries “before it is too late”.

This is the essence of fascism. The government wages war and institutes domestic oppression while rewarding its industrial partners with favorable policies, contracts and wars that support their trade. The industrial partners show loyalty by amplifying propaganda favored by the fascist government.

Blaming people opposing genocide is a play in favor of the fascists - sacrificing any group of people for who they are to preserve yourself or your own will always support the fascists. And fascism will always win, when people vote in the mistaken belief voting to harm others will save themselves.

That includes deadly and mass forcible transfer of a population.

Instead of asking for emergency funding for the military, since the US military is already funded higher than any military, why don’t we send Pete Hegseth overseas to lecture everyone about “FAFO” and “DEI”? It seems the only ones FAFO-ing are him & MAGA, the ultimate “DEI’S”

A lot of people, including me, were wondering how an IRB could ever approve this study. The answer is that no IRB did. The person who “signed off” on approval from the only ethics board that reviewed it had resigned three years earlier. His signature was used without his knowledge.

HUGE news! This is about a Trump admin effort to arrest thousands of screened and vetted refugees in Minnesota and fly them to Texas to be jailed and then interrogated. After the interrogation is over, people are being dumped on the street and told to find their own way back.
NY Times headline and photo + caption 

They Had Done Everything Right?
ICE Detained Them Anyway.
Dozens of refugees with valid status have been sent from Minnesota to Texas to be revetted, prompting a lawsuit. Those released have had to pay their way back.

Underneath is a photo of DHS officer with a kiss and a gun getting out of a car. The caption reads as follows: “More than 100 refugees with no criminal record from about a dozen countries have been detained in Minnesota by agents in recent weeks.”

Trump also said, in 2020, that he was going to "take over" Portland with his poorly trained, out of control DHS goon squad. He's still big mad and humiliated about how that turned out. Contrary to a popular slogan, resistance -- as in direct confrontation -- is not futile if it is sustained.

Here in the heavily censored liberal bubble of Bluesky, one might never know that Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz just went on a rant lamenting that Holocaust education and social media are giving young people the idea that Israel destroying the lives and homes of poor, defenseless people is wrong.
Chris Menahan

@infolibnews

Fmr Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz laments to Jewish Federation that people are finding content from "Al Jazeera and Nick Fuentes" on social media and seeing videos of "the carnage in Gaza."

Holocaust education has backfired in part as people see Palestinians as Jews' victims, she adds.

"They think the lesson of the Holocaust is... you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."

(The lesson they were supposed to get is that it gives Israel the right to commit genocide in perpetuity.)
