The world's most famous medical NGO concludes Israel is committing genocide.
It joins a consensus of genocide scholars, including in Israel, and NGOs like Amnesty International.
No politician or journalist can claim "I did not know at the time!" to evade future justice.
Stop using generative AI. There is no legitimate use of generative AI. There is no “I hate AI but this is ok”. Not everyone is using it. We do not have to “get used to it or be left behind.” Just don’t. Just stop. Delete the app. Close your account. Save some money. Take the first step.

Email saying "An AI created a podcast of your paper" Said paper is my PhD dissertation, "The Role of The Hippocampus In Configural Learning"
This is my PhD thesis
I did not ask for this
I did not consent to this
I did not approve of this
I was not compensated for this
I would not have advised this
I do not like this
And worst of all, the number of people who've read my thesis has still not increased.
Even if we pretend that women rights are the only issue at stake here (which it isn't! Fathers *deserve* time with their children too), this is *still* anti-feminist. This literally sends the message that "yes, raising a kid is mostly the mom's job, that's why she gets leave and the dad doesn't :D"
“I asked ChatGPT”
ok, i asked the runes, and the portents do not bode well for you. beg for help from your paltry electronic gods while you still can.
Rubio publicly criticizing an ally for cracking down on right-wing extremism. And Germany hitting back. We are in a new world
Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed.
He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.
Black and white article with a ICE agent with a vest and it states “Police ICE” and has people standing around, what appears to be at an office or detention center. The article reads that a judge says a 2 year old US Citizen to have been deported with “no meaningful process”
When is enough, enough? This has gone way too far. These are not deportations, they are kidnapping.
Power and Control.
Van Hollen: I should also just say, I mentioned the fake margarita, they actually wanted to have the meeting by the side of the pool in the hotel. They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar. Which of course is a big, fat lie.
RFK Jr: "By September we will know what has caused the autism epidemic and we will be able to eliminate those exposures."
Apart from the obvious negative implications for public health, I'm deeply worried about this as an autistic person. If causing autism is this worrying to this administration, imagine how much effort they might be willing to use to 'cure' (read, traumatise, murder, or eugenics) us.
The fact Trump created a special refugee/asylum status for (white) Afrikaners has been widely reported. This is the first reporting I've seen abt just how much we're doing/spending to essentially recruit Afrikaners to resettle in the US www.nytimes.com/2025/03/30/u...
This keeps getting worse and worse.
The most serious Nazi shit in this extremely Nazi shit executive order may be the idea, just slipped in there, that one of the "divisive narratives that distort our shared history" is that "race is not a biological reality but a social construct." www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
The damage this project will cause to Paiute cultural heritage is incalculable, if you have time to comment this weekend, please do 🧪🏺
Arresting Quaker women for non-violent protest and breaking into a meeting house to do so. The first time anyone has been arrested in a meeting house in living memory. Despicable behaviour from a Labour government’s Home Office/the Met Police.

This is a promise by the richest man in the world, and arguably most powerful man in America, to eradicate trans people.
I told you genocide will come to the US. They're literally promising it.
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

To be clear, it was the Biden administration, including through statements made in opposition to protest by Kamala herself, that laid the groundwork for Trump's fascist conflation of protest to the genocide with antisemitism that leads him to suspend law & abduct people. Kamala's gift to him.
Day 2 of our #NewMaterialismConference
Sadly @martinrenger.bsky.social has been taken ill so our first talk is being held by @stefanschreiber.bsky.social
looking into social assemblages and worlding!
The hearing for US Institute of Peace vs Kenneth Jackson et al with Judge Beryl Howell starting now. I'm listening via phone.
In denying the TRO, Judge Howell cites confusion in motion. Says there are parts “that make me very uncomfortable. I am very offended by how DOGE has operated at USIP but that concern about how this has gone down is not one that can sway me in my consideration of the factors for the TRO.”
Wow. Judge Howell is worried that if she orders DOGE to leave the USIP building it could turn into an “armed standoff” over unwillingness to vacate, and points out law enforcement has shown willingness to help DOGE. Asks if we’ll need foreign mediators to come in.
“If we accept that war is inevitable, that inequality is inevitable, that environmental destruction is a necessary cost of progress, then we abandon the possibilities of transformation..”

What’ll we do without him?
