🚨 Must watch: Nicole Widdersheim of Human Rights Watch, her voice audibly breaking, describes atrocities against civilians in Sudan that are now “on par, if possibly not worse,” than those during the Darfur genocide two decades ago. She said both the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) are “targeting civilians,” and that the RSF is carrying out an ethnic cleansing campaign marked by mass executions and widespread sexual violence, including rape, forced marriage, and child marriage—acts she said are “very likely” genocide. She said the SAF has also committed war crimes, including indiscriminate airstrikes, mass detention, and abuse of civilians in areas it has retaken. Widdersheim said RSF fighters have filmed themselves committing massacres “with no fear,” including killing civilians as they attempted to flee—evidence, she said, of total impunity. She warned that civilians in South Kordofan now face an “imminent risk of mass atrocities to the level and the volume that we saw in al-Fashir just two months ago.” She condemned what she called a “pathetic” international response, saying U.S. policy across administrations has been uncoordinated and ineffective, allowing violence to escalate unchecked: “These have all been acts with words and no actions.” Widdersheim criticized the lack of a clear U.S. and Quad strategy on Sudan, saying, “The United States government is a major actor in this situation. It can do much more than it has… In my 27 years working on Sudan and South Sudan, I have never seen the U.S. government writ large so unengaged on the region.” “The U.S. is losing its moral credibility in the world and in Sudan,” she warned. “There’s so much more you can do to help the Sudanese people survive this terrible time.” She pleaded Congress to either advance the Sudan Peace Act introduced by Rep. Sara Jacobs or pass new legislation establishing clear, enforceable recommendations to guide the Trump administration in the President “newfound interest in Sudan to bring peace.” @NWiddersheim

Within days of Columbine, my high school banned trench coats, graphic tees, and all black clothing. Now, AI is wreaking havoc in younger Gen Z and Alpha and educators are actively encouraging them to use it even more.

The reflex here is to get angry at Schumer, because he’s obviously garbage, but if the majority of elected dems disagreed with Schumer to any real degree, he’d have already been removed.

This isn’t just one bad man — this is one bad, corrupt, imperialistic, inhumane, fundamentally broken party.

We're completely screwed if our response to measles is going to be asking antivaxxers - the most selfish and stupid people in our society - to voluntarily self-report and quarantine for 21 days each every time they get exposed
nytimes.com The New York Times @nytimes.com · 1d
More than 250 people who were exposed to measles, including dozens of unvaccinated school-aged children, are quarantining in South Carolina as the state wrestles to contain an outbreak that has sickened more than 110 people.
Hundreds Quarantined in South Carolina as Measles Outbreak Shows No Sign of Slowing
The outbreak shows no signs of slowing, likely because of the affected area’s “lower-than-hoped-for vaccination coverage,” a state health official said.

also it is extremely funny for the atlantic to put the paywall after the part where they describe her actions, but before the part where they offer any kind of defense. well i'm not giving you money but based on this she sounds like a fucking cunt and i would have come over that counter at her
Wilsey's is just the latest high-profile tale of an American who lost her job on account of a viral video. The racism she's accused of is not debatable. In the TikTok video that circulated last week, Wilsey, a 43-year-old white woman, hurled a racist epithet at her customers and declared, "I am racist, and T'Il say it to the whole entire world." She gestured to her crotch and added: "Suck it!" According to the Somali couple, before the camera started rolling, Wilsey had called the woman's hijab a "witchcraft bandana." Wilsey alleges that the couple had been harassing her, but she has not provided any details to substantiate that claim. GET UNLIMITED ACCESS. BECOME A SUBSCRIBER.

I have very mixed thoughts on the "posting videos of people to ruin their life" industrial complex on social media, but if you get caught in 4k screaming racial slurs at someone at work, you deserve whatever is coming to you. fuck off with this

My first ft job was making t-shirt designs for Disney. Their brand guidelines were crazy strict. For ex multiple princesses couldn’t interact/look at each other or have their feet visible.
I guess you can just slopify as much spiderman elsa feet stuff as you want now. Brand integrity? Who cares lol

The displaced civilians in Gaza are suffering through horrendous floods. They need us now as much as ever to survive.

Please give to my dear friend Tasneem so she can feed her children and stay safe and dry. No amount is too small. And give to others. ❤️🙏

There's a Hill bubble narrative, posing as savvy realism, in treating impeachment as some radioactive poison and so Democrats must squash any talk of it. But there's zero evidence for that. No polls back it up, nor recent history. It's all just pundit-brained conventional wisdom eating its own tail.

The fact that we have super wealthy and extremely stupid people trying to set themselves up as new nobles has made historical nobility, which I only know from books, far more real to me. These people were not smart, they did not rule well, and rigid hierarchies of domination are very bad.

If Rockstar really is union busting, they cannot be allowed to get away with it. Every ounce of pressure matters, and having the British PM weigh in is probably not something Rockstar's executives saw coming: thisweekinvideogames.com/news/uk-prim...

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.

Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.

Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.
