I suppose that's at least a theoretical accidentally useful thing to come out of this abomination.

The Trump administration plans to scale back criticism of El Salvador, Israel and Russia over human rights, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing drafts of the State Department's annual human rights report. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/07/world/politics/us-human-rights-el-salvador-israel-russia/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #humanrights #elsalvador #israel #russia #us #donaldtrump #republicans #benjaminnetanyahu #lgbtq

There seem to be two main ways the #genai #spending will play out -
1. if it fails - we get a major economic crash (on top of #economic #crises triggered by #climatechange #war #debt etc.)
2. if it succeeds - we get a major loss of #jobs

Both invariably lead to #social #instability which takes decades to unwind (if at all)

No one is trying to get ahead of either outcome.

Absolutely disgraceful. PSNI pandering to ingorance and hatred. How about educating people instead? If someone doesn’t like an event, no one is holding them by the neck and forcing them to attend. I more than willing to bet the people protesting did not have children listening to the stories.
The PSNI could not have made a worse decision if they tried.
One of NI’s political parties is behind this hate - the #TUV led by MP Jim Allister who sits in House of Commons.
This is the consequence of attacking trans rights; then they come for gay rights, they come for womens rights, and immigrants, and transient people. Until they have come for everyone except white men.

The collapse of all respect for #HumanRights, #InternationalLaw and the #UN is having consequences.

It's become clear that utter #genocide may be openly announced, planned, and carried out, supported by other nations (like mine) with weapons deliveries, and with "good reasons" why infants and their mothers need to die, and why their blood on our hands should be considered somebody else's fault.

Every scumbag in every rotten government on this planet has realized by now that if others can get away with open genocide, they can get away with any other item on their agendas, as well. The law of the jungle is back.

#Resistance will have to reconsider what being effective means, under such circumstances. Hundreds of thousands on the streets obviously aren't, this should be clear by now.

Do not expose yourself to harm by discussing your conclusions openly.

"Our Genocide": Israeli human rights groups declare Israel committing genocide in Gaza

B'Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel have published reports concluding that Israel is committing #genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. The organizations document mass killing, destruction of infrastructure, forced displacement, and systematic dismantling of healthcare systems over 21 months of military operations.

According to #haaretz numerous international organizations have reached similar conclusions, including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Doctors Without Borders, and several Israeli genocide researchers and Holocaust scholars.

B'Tselem warns the genocide may expand to other areas where Palestinians live under Israeli rule and calls for urgent international action using all available means under international law to halt the violence.

Starmer vs Starmer: a lot of opinions, so I might as well add mine.

The explanation is that Starmer is only interested in power - Human Rights were a ‘trendy’ subject as his career progressed and he is clearly an able lawyer. So he got on the bandwagon. But as we see with human rights, policing, privacy and much more, his real instincts and comfort zone lie with authoritarianism. Simple maybe, but close to the truth.
