The UK is the only country in the entire world that doesn't get to dunk on the US right now. Every single other one: go for it. Even Russians are being sent to gulags to try to stop their criminal government. But the UK is holding hands with us as we both jump off a cliff for no reason
the uk is never ever going to beat the widely-felt, bipartisan "at least we're not the uk" sentiment. not being the uk might be the last good value america winds up having
This isn't satire. This is a real headline published in the UK.

We have the CDC-funded Hepatitis Vaccine trial in Guinea-Bissau protocol.

It’s worse than you thought.

Check it out, first in Inside Medicine…

Scoop: The leaked protocol of the CDC-funded Hepatitis B vaccine trial in Guinea-Bissau. “This is another Tuskegee.”
The protocol reveals that the trial will withhold the Hepatitis B birth dose from thousands—without placebos, without universal maternal screening, and with endpoints critics call indefensible.

they've been attacking LA for months and continue to kidnap people , we were the first ones they invaded with the national guard and the only ones they invaded with the marines (?!?). I truly feel like the marines being sent to attack LA got completely memory holed by the rest of the country

A year ago I told you everything you knew was gone and you were looking at the starlight of what was.

You cannot fix ethnic cleansing with appeasement or by ignoring the centuries of violent racism that got us here.

This is an opportunity. For self awareness. For reconcilition. For rebuilding.

I've read most of the scholarship about US policing since the early 20th century. What you learn from this is that violence is inherent. You cannot "separate" out violence from policing. Police in the U.S. are violence workers.

We must all have ways to hold, release, some of the devastation and fury in these times of terror and rage.

When we do, we may have more capacity for useful action.

Because we must take action.
But we must have capacity.

HELL YEAH!!

Look at what we did TOGETHER! Comic-con has quietly changed their language and will NOT allow GenAi imagery in their art show!

And this happened because you all wrote letters, and shared your concerns! Speaking up works EVERY time!

So congrats friends! We did this together!!!

San Diego Comic-Con will no longer allow AI 'art' to be displayed at their event

"Material created by AI either partially or wholly, is not allowed in the art show"

This follows backlash from artists after SDCC initially indicated AI-generated work would be permitted

After ICE agents shot people in Minneapolis tonight, a crowd faced them down and eventually chased them away, despite federal mercenaries and police shooting a tremendous amount of tear gas.

ICE agents abandoned vehicles in the area, containing IDs, paperwork, license plates, and operational plans.
