Apartheid regime

Well There’s your problem just did an episode on that https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K4yCXIZ32lk

They take getting caught seriously, not the stuff they get caught at.

Wut. I’m not sure if this is a distinction without a difference, or a subtle distinction that I need a better grasp on continental philosophy to comprehend.

It’s like saying a state doesn’t take murder seriously - they take getting caught seriously. It’s technically true if you parse it a certain way, but ultimately meaningless

this kind of thing is not bad because it endangered people’s lives, it’s bad because it makes them look bad and might impact their exports

Something can be bad for multiple reasons. Also, there’s multiple actors here. The operators of the state-owned enterprise have different incentives than the regulators

Holy fuck that article is sickening. The level of dehumanization it truly insane.

It makes the US in Iraq look like a humanitarian operation. Fuck, even the US in Vietnam seems like it was way more disciplined.

The state of the left in Israel, apparently:

“I, too, a rather left-wing soldier, forget very quickly that these are real homes [in Gaza],” A. said of his experience in the operations room.

They don’t need to ally. They can just drag their feet to sabotage any significant reforms and wait for the left to lose their mandate

Common Cuba w

Not really. In the UK, the center-left won which was widely expected. The greens (left) did slightly better than expected. And the far-rightnot really. In the UK, the media said that the center-left labour was going to win in a landslide. And they did.

But in France, after the centrists and the left decided to not compete with each other, the left actually came out on top. Where’s in the UK, the left (mostly greens) is still very marginalized.

The fact the NYT is reporting this makes me think it’s joever

I think you mean like Peru and Chile told Bolivia,

He would’ve turned 99 yesterday

I’m surprised they didn’t also mention the climate of fear and distrust around Chinese academics in the US. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/wrongfully-accused-spying-china-professor-wins-appeal-sue-government-rcna86109

Every warmonger to ever exist:

Naturally war is bad, but

That’s like 1-2 urban highway interchanges

Look at the article, though. IMO it looks like HHS was trying to keep quiet, navigating political pressure and recent research. It’s the NYT that decided to box the administration into this very public position. It’s effective Advocacy journalism for terfs

War bad (Unironically)

They weren’t even in trouble here! It’s just the NYT spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt about one of the only openly trans US officials.

Not that it even matters, since SCOTUS gets the final say in all administrative matters now.

I wish they’d just be honest about the triangulation. “due to the political climate, we will not be following the best practices as recommended by the relevant experts”

I fear this is the start of the Democrats becoming like UK’s labour. I won’t be surprised if Levine is forced out of her position before the election, based on how the New York Terfs are centering her in this story. Until now, the NYT has mostly just focused on parents “concerns”. But now they’re setting their sights on the institutions that trans people rely on. Like the UK media did with Tavistock

Perfect metaphor for the US space program as a whole
