ACAB

Chicago's finest:

In all, the city spent $295 million to resolve lawsuits alleging more than 1,000 Chicago police officers committed a wide range of misconduct — including false arrest and excessive force — in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, according to WTTW News’ analysis. Through the end of November, the city spent $62.3 million in 2023 to resolve police misconduct lawsuits.

What's truly wild is the misleading media coverage of Glazer's speach. Variety initially quoted him as saying, "Right now, we stand here as men who refute their Jewishness." That reads totally different than what he actually said: "Right now, we stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many innocent people." He's refuting the hijacking of their Jewishness, not their Jewishness itself.

Then NBC News covered his remarks in an article titled "Jonathan Glazer condemns violence in Gaza and Israel in Oscars speech" and subtitled "In his remarks, the director said in part: 'Whether the victims of October the 7th in Israel or the ongoing attack in Gaza, all the victims of this dehumanization, how do we resist?'" They thus give the impression that Glazer's comments were a condemnation of both sides of the conflict, not the targeted criticism of Israel's occupation that it was.

But don't sanction the country doing a genocide

Just a reminder: Israel is not a democracy. It's an apartheid state in which millions of its subjects are denied the right to vote because of their ethnicity.

Tangentially, have you read about the 1904 Summer Olympics Men's Marathon?:

Frederick Lorz crossed the finish line first and was hailed as the winner, but he was disqualified after it was discovered that he had hitched a ride in a car for 11 miles (17.7 km) after having supposedly dropped out of the race. The actual winner, Thomas Hicks, was near collapse and hallucinating when he crossed the finish line, a side effect of being administered brandy, raw eggs, and strychnine by his trainers. The fourth-place finisher, Andarín Carvajal, took a nap during the race after eating spoiled apples.

Israel has an app where they post links to social media posts discussing Israel for app users to go astroturf. They take their propaganda very seriously. They have a word for propaganda targeting foreigners: "hasbara." https://mepc.org/...

Would you like them to take it to the free speach zone behind the mall?

When does Biden get added to that list?

Eat the rich

Germany to Israel: "It looks like you're trying to do a genocide. Can I help you with that? I have some experience with that sort of thing."

Yeah, which ones? IndieWire, The Guardian, The Columbus Dispatch, Al Jazeera, Truthout? Those are the only sites I've posted from. Be specific. And when you say middle east, do you mean all of the Middle East or just the murderous ethno-colonial government in Israel?

Oh yeah, I get all my news from random tweets

It was a total coincidence that it happened right after Hamas fired rockets at Tel-Aviv for the first time in months. \s

Tainted by the blood of Palestinian children

I heard Biden is considering adding "pretty please with sprinkles on top" next time he talks to Netanyahu
