This is Alma a little princess who deserves life, safety, and love. Yet hunger and malnutrition are stealing her strength day by day. She did nothing wrong. No child should suffer like this
Please don’t look away. Your kindness can give her food, medicine, and hope. Help Alma survive

If a country does shenanigans, they spin the giant wheel at HQ.

Yellow = Suspension
Red = Issue a very very strong statement
Blue = issue a confusing but slightly strong statement
Green = congratulatory statement
White = "we will issue a statement whenever"

I think the left needs to start coming up with its own online seminars and courses that anyone can join. If Jordan Peterson and Richard Spencer have them, so should we. We can't rely on the academy anymore.

NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

I don't want to be the 'why isn't the media covering this' guy, because that guy is awful, but it is weird that the clearing of Venezuelan airspace of civilian planes, at the behest of the US government, hasn't received much anglophone pickup.

"If there’s no space for the kraal other than near the toilet, people can’t go to the toilet freely. The kraal is a sacred space and non-family members or new brides are not allowed in it. This makes toilets in the middle of the backyard a real problem." theconversation.com/no-space-for...
No space for culture: ‘matchbox housing’ leaves residents unable to honour customs in a South African town
In South Africa’s Makanaskop, the kraal is a sacred space for rituals but small plots with outside toilets undermine this cultural use.

This tower block fire in #HongKong is terrible, with so many painful resonances to the #Grenfell fire.

Police have already arrested 3 people involved with the Hong Kong buildings & seized documents & evidence. Grenfell survivors still waiting for justice.

This thorough discussion of the way that these archaeologists use concepts such as carcerality as career boosters to make the Roman past seem 'relevant' while contributing to the erasure of Israeli state violence against Palestinians, shows that heritage is powerful, in service of power

The professor invited by UBC describes his work as an "archaeology of military occupation”, cites Foucault, but does not see the contradictions of working on an archaeological site built on ruins of an ethnically cleansed Palestinian village and next to one of the largest prisons for Palestinians👇

In the US, Catholic sisters return Wisconsin land to Ojibwe tribe in a historic first. The Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration have transferred a lakefront property to the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa for the same $30,000 they paid in 1966.

For the first time, Catholic sisters return land to a Tribal nation
"This return represents more than the restoration of land — it is the restoration of balance, dignity, and our sacred connection to the places our ancestors once walked."

Goodwin's palpable disgust for black and brown people is, of course, a colonial inheritance. But the "national" prosperity that made Britain's welfare state possible is in no small part a colonial inheritance too, plundered from places like Africa and south Asia. He might show a little gratitude.

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.

She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

But let's take rash measures against all Afghan immigrants (and make crazed statements about Somalis) without any reckoning with American involvement in Afghanistan, including the use of that country's nationals as surrogate fighters, translators, and support personnel of all kinds.
