“We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant”.

- Elie Wiesel
The Nobel Peace Prize 1986
The Nobel Peace Prize 1986 was awarded to Elie Wiesel "for being a messenger to mankind: his message is one of peace, atonement and dignity"

According to Oz, Money > People with chronic illnesses. There's no word for this besides "evil".

Saving lives costs money, and that's exactly what a government health agency is supposed to do. Save lives.

Today, we’re celebrating trans communities’ vibrancy and perseverance in the face of attacks on their very existence -- and fighting for a future when all our trans and nonbinary siblings can safely live authentically and freely.

No hateful law or executive order can erase your identity.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

What an absolute nightmare. A high school student saw his friends crash their Cybertruck and rushed to help, but was only able to rescue one of them because the car's doors would not open from the outside.

He watched his three other friends burn to death.

All police misconduct has been wiped out.

Not a trace of it left.

Trump & Musk wiped out the national database of police misconduct.

Nearly 150K records of offenses by federal officers.

The entire admin is obliterating accountability.
US Justice Department cuts database tracking federal police misconduct
The U.S. Justice Department has removed a database tracking misconduct by federal law enforcement, a list proposed by Republican President Donald Trump during his first term and formally created by Democratic former President Joe Biden.

The Budapest Memorandum wasn't just Russia promising never to attack Ukraine, but the US promising never to use coercion against Ukraine.

It's a huge breach that also sets up the world for nuclear proliferation.

Congress knows it, Trump knows it, but most people don't.

Here are the details why:
