People make fun of Silicon Valley for just reinventing a bus and calling it Trvlr App but another thing they do is just reinvent eugenics every few months

Truly the most evil and misleading thing Leonhardt has written and this is saying something. No mention of deaths caused by disease, birth complications or starvation. Also ignores limits of Gaza officials’ count since every hospital, and thus their capacity, has been destroyed
Leonhardt is a craven partisan hatchet man and the genocide-lite narrative is the only one the White House can plausibly try and push and here he is carrying out his disagreeable task. Absolutely shameful, intellectually and morally dishonest
Coincidentally episode on Leonhardt and his bullshit “data driven” schtick dropping Wednesday

No dipshit, the idea isn’t “US bad” the idea is pushing for a ceasefire is a much more efficient and humane way to deescalate rather than bombing, yet again, the poorest country in MENA to defend Israel’s inalienable right to turn Gaza into an even greater death zone
Yes they have, it’s called reining in Israel’s unchecked destruction of Gaza which is clearly and quite explicitly the origin of Houthi attacks which do not exist without a geopolitical context
Reminder that Jeremiah Johnson’s employer PPI is an astroturf shop funded by Exxonmobil, big tobacco, Walmart, and Amazon meant to make boilerplate rightwing politics seem cool and hip

Among the findings in Ali’s research is the selective use of emotive terms to describe killing—something reserved almost exclusively for Israeli deaths. It’s a sort of reverse humanization, horror only goes in one direction. The killing of Palestinians is seen as sterile/clinical
Image
Coincidentally the CBC was asked last week by @TheBreachMedia’s @emmapaling about their own selective use of emotive terms and the answer they gave… made no sense breachmedia.ca/cbc-palestinia…

This study shows the same asymmetry of emotive language in the BBC (left column is about Israeli deaths, the right column is in reference to Palestinian deaths)

yeah clearly nuance is important but theres a whole genre of pop science writing about the pitfalls of binary moral thinking that increases in frequency when younger people coalesce around existential critiques of racism, inequality, or––of late––our govt backing ethnic cleansing
Sometimes subjects are "complex" but sometimes they are are not, sometimes things are Just Bad and it's not "extremist" to say they are Just Bad in clear and certain terms.
The pathologizing of Caring Too Much as a mode of zoomer puritanism or social contagion brought about by woke-ism and the attendant moral panics around tiktok are all takes designed to promote political impotence. We nuance the news so much we shrug and just pull the D or R lever

losing my mind. UN special rapporteur on the human rights of internally displaced persons (correctly) accuses Israel of working to expel civilian population of Gaza and CNN reports it as mere allegation without mentioning Netanyahu explicitly said this is his goal just yesterday. Image



extremely strange how the prime minister of Israel now openly lobbies to expel Palestinians from Gaza, and it's been reported by multiple outlets for a week (and originally leaked by a pro-Netanyahu paper a month ago) but US media has decided to just.... ignore it.

Sanders position is confusing but I’ll try and spell it out

(1) he opposes a ceasefire that leaves Hamas in power. Which is to say he opposes a ceasefire as it’s universally understood
(2) he’s repeatedly called for a nebulously humane regime change effort that Israel… (1/3)
has zero interest in and is presumably accomplished with fairy dust
(3) he refuses to acknowledge the obvious: that Israel is axiomatically not waging a war on “Hamas” but on the whole of Gaza
(4) wants a “ceasefire” that allows Israel time to plan for his magical humane…(2/3)
regime change op, thus his support of a toothless UN ceasefire resolution
(5) Sanders is tanking his reputation fighting for a artisanal humane regime change op that doesnt exist and will never exist rather than opposing the ethnic cleansing campaign that exists IN REALITY (3/3)
