“What verdict will history render on those many moments of cowardice and silence from journalists who fell into line with the genocidaires? What will it mean to look in the mirror and realize that, when it mattered most, they chose career safety and complicity in genocide denial?”
The shooting of Alex Pretti was (US) state sanctioned murder and has been followed up by attempts to destroy evidence and stop local police (and even the FBI) from investigating.
Minnesota police are trying to counter the lies and illegality.
Terrifying

Important perspective from Greenland.
The Norwegian government is staying fairly quiet for now, but as a sign of the shifting vibe here the former head of Norway’s armed forces has come out and called the US a “neo-fascist banana republic” and a “hostile great power without norms”. www.dn.no/politikk/tid...

Tesla now pays Elon Musk $100bn a year.
Tesla's 125,000 workers are paid $40,000 each average, $5bn a year.
He is paid 20x as much as every single worker at Tesla.
They could be paid $840,000 each instead.
Weekend fun 🤩
This means that it is now Labour’s official position that Israel is committing genocide.
While at the same time, the Labour government continues to arm that genocide
Absolutely extraordinary!
Excited to share Wendy Le Mouëllic’s PhD work, now published in @pnas.org!

Can’t think why.
My heart breaks for the innocent souls awaiting their fate - betrayed by the west.
Aaaand they’ve just covered it up.
Which is just another layer of irony…
…given that this is state action against protest about state action against protest.
