Figures from a classified Israeli military intelligence database indicate five out of six Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in Gaza have been civilians, an extreme rate of slaughter rarely matched in recent decades of warfare.

As of May, 19 months into the war, Israeli intelligence officials listed 8,900 named fighters from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad as dead or “probably dead”, a joint investigation by the Guardian, the Israeli-Palestinian publication +972 Magazine and the Hebrew-language outlet Local Call has found.

At that time 53,000 Palestinians had been killed by Israeli attacks, according to health authorities in Gaza, a toll that included combatants and civilians. Fighters named in the Israeli military intelligence database accounted for just 17% of the total, which indicates that 83% of the dead were civilians.

My grandmother lived a life of being socially graceful, and in her dementia she mostly treated all the unknown and confusing new things and people (who were not really new) mostly with kindness and grace. I have thought on this occasionally and tried to seed into every recess of my mind the idea of approaching the confusing and unknown with curiosity and peaceful kindness, as well as trust whenever possible. My hope is that this would pay off in the event I, too, end up with dementia, or any other conddition for which this could be helpful to the people trying to help me.

However they will have a single issue that they are willing to throw that all away for.

Abortion being nationally illegal, which is primarily a subset of misogyny.

The picture here looks exactly like a kind, gentle person I’d never want to piss off. Speaking from fully in the red-zone of stereotyping, this person looks like someone who could, with a pleasant face, willfully vanish into a spirit realm and make my life miserable or straight up end it. This is not a person I want to piss off or Obi-Wan into becoming more powerful than I could possibly imagine.

Aim for those categories on the site known to be more visited by red states. Excepting, say, Trans, because trans folks don’t need additional reasons to be targeted.

Fun stats: 17 U.S. presidents were previously U.S. senators, and also 17 were previously state governors (additionally, Harrison and Taft were territorial governors, and Jackson was military governor of the territory of Florida).

Six U.S. presidents had held previously both governor and U.S. senator roles, including Jackson and Harrison’s non-state governorships.

5 U.S. presidents were not elected to public office prior to holding the presidency - Taylor, Grant, Hoover, Eisenhower, and Trump.

The good vice presidents can have secret boyfriends and/or eyeliner, as a little treat.

Currently the ultimate parent co.pany is Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. NBCUniversal is the one owned by Comcast, as I recall.

<? This would take any negative value and decrease it forever, but leave all positive and zero values alone, right?

That… spells PORN.

I’d say the biggest difference is that Millennials tend to be more aware that Boomers of who else is actually using the platform and why, and to have/acquire knowledge about other platforms and transition to something new.

Appreciated, thanks

Not in any way /meaning/ to defend them, but I think the argument is that multiple of the 4 characteristics (speaking Spanish, looking Hispanic, certain jobs, I forget the 4th) taken together is supposedly justification, but not any given one of them alone.

At what point do the eight different megacorps who each want half of my money go to war with each other when I can’t actually buy their product anymore and just die?

I mean, it exists, but as an idea, a label of sorts. A movement, some would say, or a principle. But yeah, it isn’t a specific organization that can be shut down. It’s just there are some people who do some things that are anti-fascist, and by that virtue they “are” “Antifa”. I’d argue that even that status is ephemeral.

The War on Terror has come home.
