The British chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court was warned in May that if arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant were not withdrawn, he and the ICC would be "destroyed".
the #US seems to "only" have used the "#InternmentCamp" type, not the "destruction-camp" (style.) I've just read #TheLongWalk of the #Navajo again: though the #USgov's forces surely did not mind if a lot of the #NativeAmericans perished on the 300 mile track to #BosqueRedodo (#FortSumner, NM,) I can see no aim to intentional mass killings, e. g. through firing squads, which would surely have been possible, too.

Das ist völlig richtig. Nach der jahrzehntelang geplanten Übernahme des Obersten Gerichtshofs der #USA (#SCOTUS) durch die mächtige Lobbygruppe #FederalistSociety, sowie den analogen Vorkommnissen in #Polen kann man die Nominierierung von #VerfassungsrichterInnen nicht mehr unpolitisch sehen.
The Federalist Society, a conservative organization founded at Yale Law School, built a pipeline between law schools and top judgeships and influenced the selection of the past three Supreme Court justices.
This is personal: "Appointing the 4 Horseman of the Scientific Apocalypse — RFK Jr. as Sec of #HHS, Dr. Oz to run Medicare & Medicaid services, Dr. Makary as head of the #FDA & Dr. Bhattacharya to run# NIH — has signaled the end of any serious approach to biomedical #science & public health by the federal govt. Together & separately, they have taken a wrecking ball to our august scientific institutions that were previously considered to be the best in the world."

"the "Gleichschaltung der Presse" (#Alignment of the media in the #ThirdReich) exercised by the #Gestapo + lifted to new levels by Xi through the Great Firewall of #China and the censorship department, has already begun happening in #Russia, #Hungary, and in the #US (#BillionaireMedia,) as well as elsewhere"
I hope that #Casablanca will never become our playbook. For many #Latinos and other foreign residents in the #US, however, it might already have come to pass.
#ICE and the #Gestapo do seem to have more in common every day...

On the famous #InternetArchive you can still watch the classic and epic film free of charge:

But the #Nazis are also there (officially), although #Morocco is actually part of unoccupied (collaborating #Vichy) #France.

After many years, I have just rewatched #Casablanca. For Gen Z and Millennials:
The film is highly topical, also thematically: it is set in December 1941, when the #ThirdReich has occupied almost all of #Europe, including most of #France. Streams of refugees are pouring south. You can leave the Old Continent from #Lisbon by ship, but you can't get there from most of #Europe directly, due to the #Nazi occupation. The only...

The first data center for a $500-billion artificial intelligence project arrives in small-town Texas, alongside a potentially harmful natural gas plant.

"Since June 6 — when the Department of Homeland Security began widespread raids throughout the Los Angeles region — the number of immigrant parents making emergency arrangements for their children’s care has skyrocketed. Parents have flooded legal rights organizations in person and on Zoom for help filling out the forms that will designate another adult to take over responsibility of their children, many of whom are citizens, if they are detained or deported."
Undocumented parents are preparing for the worst in response to the L.A. immigration raids. Bracing for potential deportation, they’re making emergency care plans for their kids.
It's no coincidence that the Fairshake crypto super PAC has timed its press release announcing they have $140 million ready for the midterms as Congress is considering three crypto bills during "Crypto Week". Pass our bills, or we will spend millions against you in the midterms.
Jeff Bezos threats to buy Conde Nast should absolutely be taken seriously.
It would give him control over a number of media outlets that are strong voices in opposition of fascism (like Wired and Teen Vogue)
Under the oligarchs control they would be forced to become right wing propaganda.
Now more than ever we must support independent journalists… many of whom are speaking truth to power despite the personal risk.
If you can boycott Amazon, please do it. Send a strong message with your wallet that you don’t support fascism or the billionaire class.
If you can’t boycott, please don’t feel guilty. Many disabled people and those in poverty may be reliant on Amazon for supplies they can’t get elsewhere.
Trust that your community is boycotting on your behalf.
We’ve got you, and you need to take care of yourself in order to survive.
Excellent point: "👉Because the regime is captive tots own lies, it must falsify everything.👈 It falsifies the past. It falsifies the present, and it falsifies the future. It falsifies statistics. It pretends not to possess an omnipotent + unprincipled police apparatus... It pretends to fear nothing. 👉It pretends to pretend nothing👈.” #VaclavHavel"

Apparently, hallucinating AIs will be sufficient for finding the next drugs, no animal tests necessary. Given the history of human testing in the US, I think it's quite clear which populations will get the newly discovered drugs first...
