horrible. to be honest – it doesn't help that every report, article & social media post pathologically insists on "he is american. a citizen!"
implicitly saying "people with passports* deserve abuse less than people without." racism all the way down

The disparities in these numbers are fucking terrible. A quantification of how much more valuable a white and then American life is than an immigrant POC.

And what is happening inside ICE detention centers? 404 Media also learned that the federal government claimed that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a “system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility.

Opp i ringa nå, NRK. Dere kan ikke fortsette å outsource analysene av veldokumenterte hendelser til brukerne deres bak et fikenblad av objektiv rapportering eller hva dere vil kalle det. *Dere* skal kontekstualisere det som skjer for *oss*, ikke omvendt. Dere er liksom proffene her. Act like it.
A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Exercise commanders had to ask 🇫🇮 reservists, the most formidable Arctic warriors, who were playing the role of invaders in the war games, to go easy on the Americans. “The Finns had to be told to stop beating the Americans as it was embarrassing and demoralising for them,” a mil source said.”

i actually think she had the unorthodox opinion then, not kosher in the community. and here we are 😍
learned about this 15 years ago from a smithsonian botanist specialising in devonian.
thought the article says more or less what she said, this is further confirmation and is SO COOL 😍 insertae sedis FTW
