The US schools suspending/expelling peaceful protestors/occupiers are not creating the safe spaces they think they are, when it opens up opportunities like this (and makes them sound appealing).
I seriously hope no one tries to take them up on it because, if they weren't antisemitic (specifically anti-Jewish), then the Houthis will definitely return them with a hate for Jews, since it's one of their tenets.
I will never understand humanity; how it can be a controversial opinion to not want to commit genocide is beyond me. I'm glad WFP is able to stand up to AIPAC.
Sari Bashi, Human Rights Watch’s program director, said in an interview that the incidents highlighted in NBC News’ investigation are not isolated. “People are fleeing to roads that the government told them to use to places where the Israeli government told them to go, [...] And when they go there, they get killed.”
Not enough people are saying the quiet part out loud: that this seems by design on the part of IDF; when members of their own government call for genocide (WaPo article with more sources and details), it's not much of a stretch to think they're trying to round up Palestinians to make killing them easier.
For me, I can't stop staring at the clearly defined edge of his makeup. It's so obvious that I'm beginning to think his (probably underpaid) MUA does it intentionally.
It took me a second to realize this is supposed to be Germany and not Mickey Mouse as a ball. Now I've just learned that MM has the same coloring as the German flag. Huh.
I'm fortunate enough to be practicing in a field that does help people (though not nearly as much as I'd like...someone give me Elon's money and then I'll be able to make a real difference). The problem is that lawyers/judges like the ones who are handling cases like Trump's are destroying the rule of law, the efficacy of the courts, and doing whatever they can to dismantle the very system we use to determine whether we have rights or not (dismantle it and the answer is a very clear "not"). The US legal system is already a clusterfuck with not enough budget and inequitable treatment depending on who you are; if things like precedent no longer mean anything, as SCOTUS has recently started making clear, then the legal system becomes completely unnavigable.
We know why we're hated; it's why those of us who strive to exemplify professionalism, ethics, and civility are so angry and depressed. It's why I've been having a career crisis because I always wanted to go into law, but only to do good, and now it feels like there is so little legitimacy to the judicial branch.
Fuck the people who abuse the rule of law until there is none, fuck Trump and his cronies, and fuck SCOTUS for fucking us. Now excuse me, I have to go cry in a corner.
