Master Pulls the String and Safe McNegro Muriel Bowser says Trump's Unlawful Occupation Made DC “Safer.” Encouraging More Involuntary Misrule and Theater [safe, like a Cemetery or Solitary Jail Cell]

Members of the D.C. Council are pushing back against Mayor Muriel Bowser's remarks that President Donald Trump's surge of federal law enforcement personnel into the city has helped lower crime.

"As I feared, our Mayor’s words are now being used to justify harmful federal overreach in cities nationwide. This is bigger than DC — or partisan politics. It’s about resisting creeping authoritarianism," Ward 5 Councilmember Zachary Parker wrote on X, adding, "we must not legitimize an illegitimate agenda."

In remarks Wednesday, Bowser said "this surge has been important to us" because it helped lower the rates of crimes like carjacking, but she also made clear that the presence of immigration agents and National Guard troops is “not working” and expressed hope that the initiative, which began on Aug. 7, would end soon.

The comments praising the surge were met with immediate pushback from Bowser's fellow Democrats on the D.C. Council.

"She said she appreciates the federal surge and that it's having positive results in D.C. That's not the case," at-large Councilmember Robert White Jr., a Democrat, said in a video on X.

“We should not, as the District of Columbia, be giving people the impression that this is a good thing, that we are OK with it, that it is helping the city. It is not doing any of those things, and it is not intended to help us,” White said.

“This is trampling on democracy in real time,” he said. “I am not OK with this. The average resident is not OK with this. D.C. residents, D.C. voters, are not OK with this.” [MORE]

MN False Flag? Details, Evidence Unnecessary if There's an Emotional Tale Told in Accord w/Left/Right Beliefs: An Anti-Trump/Israel, Trans-Killer Shot Up a Church w/Racist Gun. Instant Bio/Confession

/

DIVIDE & CONQUER [What is Belief and Do You Suffer From it?] Due to the contrived nature of the evidence of the MN Shooting, it feels synthetic and should be suspected as a false flag operation conducted by the government and massa media until proven otherwise. If Crimethinc would create fake vaccines for the purpose of genthanasia and biocide then surely It would have no problem executing 2 white children in a church. Another question is whether this is a psyop or a false flag? (see video above)

Why would police or media make it up? Many reasons (including disarming people) but mostly because sheeple will believe it and use their imaginations to fill in the missing details in accord with their beliefs and dogma. As explained by Osho Rajineesh, 'a mind that is filled with belief is a mind which can project anything according to that belief.' FUNKTIONARY explains, “belief” is any conclusion based on a fundamental assumption; the evidence of things not seen, no longer actively sought or belief is the psychological calm of imagined certitude safely beyond de-stabilizing doubt and troublesome reality-entanglement.

NYPD Using Poor Facial Recognition Technology for "Which-Hunts" (which NGHR did it?): Black Man Locked Up for 3 Days Based on Misidentification, was 8 Inches Taller and 70 lbs Heavier than Suspect

/

ACCORDING TO FUNKTIONARY:

Which-hunt – a code-word in racist white supremacist police force parlance meaning “let’s hunt down which nigger did it.”

Which-Nigger – any native Black American who is routinely racially and spatially profiled for arrest as a likely target-suspect. A “Which Nigger” is never guilty by association—but guilty by simply being—a Black man in the wrong place at the wrong time near any alleged or actual crime, waiting for the “justice” railroad (oncoming train) and unaffordable legal representation thereby leaving him with a public defender that will ensure he will be afforded some extra time in prison.

From [HERE] Civil rights and privacy groups are demanding an investigation into the NYPD's alleged misuse of facial recognition technology after a false match led to a man being wrongfully arrested for a crime he did not commit.

"I was so angry ... I was stressed out," Trevis Williams told Eyewitness News. "The man they were looking for, he was eight inches shorter than me and 70 pounds lighter."

Williams was falsely arrested and jailed for two days despite not matching the physical description given by the victim of a sex crime. The only similarities were that they were both Black men with locks, he says.

Location data from his cell phone showed that Williams was miles away from the crime, the New York Times first reported.

"Williams was driving from Connecticut to Brooklyn at the time another man was photographed flashing a woman in Manhattan's Union Square," the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project (STOP) said in a statement.

But Williams told Eyewitness News that officers falsely arrested him anyway two months later using the NYPD's facial recognition technology.

Prosecutors dismissed the case last month after Williams' public defenders, the Legal Aid Society, were able to prove he was falsely identified.

"This could have very easily been solved by just really traditional police work," said Diane Akerman, Staff Attorney with the Digital Forensics Unit at the Legal Aid Society (Legal Aid).

In a letter sent to authorities including Inspector General Jeanene Barrett, Legal Aid detailed an alarming pattern of false arrests based on facial recognition data, and claimed that the NYPD is relying on facial matches sourced from outside its approved photo database, and that the NYPD is relying on other city agencies, like the FDNY, to do what the NYPD is barred from doing.

The NYPD has legal regulations surrounding its use of facial recognition tech.

The NYPD also says that facial recognition technology has proven successful, and in a statement added that "even if there is a possible match, the NYPD cannot and will never make an arrest solely using facial recognition technology."

However, Legal Aid claims that the Special Activities Unit (SAU) within the NYPD's Intelligence Division is secretly working outside the bounds of these regulations and purposefully avoiding documentation of its illicit activities.

Legal Aid also accuses the FDNY of running facial recognition searches that fall outside the legal limits of NYPD policy, citing a June court case that found that the NYPD used the FDNY to skirt regulations by "identifying a suspect in a misdemeanor protest case using Clearview AI and DMV photos."

In this case, the court decided that law enforcement officials had misused facial identification and AI tools to illegally extract and alter surveillance images and as a result pinned a misdemeanor charge on a protestor.

"We work every single day to keep New Yorkers safe -- and that means using every tool at our disposal. Our fire marshals -- in their capacity as law enforcement agents -- work closely with our public safety partners, like the NYPD, to investigate crimes. This small group of elite law enforcement agents use facial recognition software as one of the many tools available, to conduct critical fire investigations," the FDNY responded in a statement.

Civil rights advocates are also calling attention to racial and other biases embedded in facial recognition algorithms.

Facial recognition software "misidentifies individuals in poor quality photos and disproportionately misidentifies people of color, women, the young, and the elderly," STOP said in its 2021 report documenting the NYPD's use of facial recognition software.

"Because of the bias in who gets arrested in New York, it's going to disproportionately target Black and Latino and Asian individuals," said Albert Fox Cahn of STOP.

"Everyone, including the NYPD, knows that facial recognition technology is unreliable," said Diane Akerman, Staff Attorney with the Digital Forensics Unit at Legal Aid. "Yet the NYPD disregards even its own protocols, which are meant to protect New Yorkers from the very real risk of false arrest and imprisonment. It's clear they cannot be trusted with this technology, and elected officials must act now to ban its use by law enforcement."

As for Williams, he still faces the unearned consequences of his arrest.

"I was in the process of becoming a correctional officer at Rikers Island," he told Eyewitness News.

But after his arrest, he says "they kind of froze the hiring process."

"I hope people don't have to sit in jail or prison for things that they didn't do," Williams said.

No One Gives a Fuck About the Cracker Barrel Logo Except Racists and Marketing People

/

question: Who the fuck spends time thinking about Cracker Barrel’s logo?

answer: People who Have lost Their Mother Fucking Minds

According to FUNKTIONARY:

Crackers – the collective name enslaved Africans brought to North America gave to whites who were quick to use their whip to lacerate the flesh and skin of the enslaved. The term was based on the sound the whip made as it ripped through an enslaved African’s beautiful sun-soaked skin. The upgraded and derisive name used by their descendents is “Crackerzoid.

crackerjack lover – someone who gets a woman excited only to disappoint her with a little-toy surprise. 2) Soft Micropenis. Her well-seasoned orifice clearly required more of his. (See: Quickdraw, Ennui, Abstinence & “Ex”)

Racism White Supremacy - psychopathic degeneracy. 2) "The local and global power system and dynamic, structured and maintained by persons who classify themselves as white, whether consciously or subconsciously determined, which consists of patterns of perception, logic, symbol formation, thought, speech, action and emotional response, as conducted simultaneously in all areas of people activity (economics, education, entertainment, labour, law, politics, religion, sex and war); for the ultimate purpose of white genetic survival and to prevent white genetic annihilation on planet earth—a planet upon which the vast majority of people are classified as non-white (Black, Brown, Red and Yellow) by white skinned people, and all of the nonwhite people are genetically dominant (in terms of skin coloration) compared to the genetic recessive white skin people."

People who classify themselves as White, who wish to be taken seriously, and who are righteous and responsible, will only talk about ending White Supremacy (Racism) and replacing it with Justice. -Dr. Francis Cress Welsing, MD,

Racism white supremacy primarily concerns the unjust behavior of racists - not mere words or bigotry. The racist, global White Collective is engaging in behaviors—in economics, education, entertainment, labor, law, politics, religion, sex and more to dominate Black people.

The general elements of racism white supremacy are; 1) an individual usage of his/her power or team effort of white collective power or a conspiracy among white individuals and/or groups of white people 2) to control, harm and/or dominate non-white people 3) by engaging in impersonal conduct (that may include speech or symbols) that is a) genocidal or otherwise detrimental to their social, economic, political and mental or physical well being or b) that perpetuates the white supremacy dynamic. “Conspiracy” here, as in the criminal law, means an informal or formal agreement or strategy among individual whites to engage in harmful conduct or speech on behalf of the “white race” or to benefit the “white race.” That is, as in the criminal law, an express agreement need not exist, communication amongst participants is not necessary and the participants need not know each other. However, each participant (racist) has a shared intent and mutual goal of maintaining or refining the system of domination – it is a union of wills among racists. Also, a conspiracy may be inferred from a development and a collocation of circumstances. Like a criminal conspiracy, a conspirator is guilty of every offense committed by every other conspirator in furtherance of racism white supremacy.

Speech by itself cannot be racism white supremacy. The emphasis in regard to racism white supremacy is unjust behavior not speech. As explained by Neely Fuller, “I don’t care about white people calling me nigger. I am concerned with what they want to do to a nigger or what they do with people whom they think are niggers.” Doing, not just talking/thinking is the operable word there (obviously criminal threats to harm and actionable words to defraud and deceive can be racist).

A White Michigan Trooper Intentionally Struck a Fleeing Black Man w/a Mini-Van, Crushed Him Into a Building Causing Death. Cops Delayed Medical Help. Civil Trial Date Set, Fed Judge Tossed Murder Case

/

From [HERE] A civil trial has been scheduled in the excessive force lawsuit stemming from the death of Samuel Sterling, a Black man who was intentionally struck by a Michigan State Police sergeant’s min-van cruiser.

The jury trial in the lawsuit against Brian Keely is set to begin Nov. 2, 2026. It is expected to take between seven and 10 days. (authorities often push court dates way into the future when the case involves unlawful conduct by police- especially when the plaintiff is a Black family.)

In the civil lawsuit filed in January, Samuel Sterling’s family alleged Keely violated his Fourth and 14th Amendment protections against excessive force and argued gross negligence and willful and wanton misconduct.

In Kentwood in April 2024, Sterling ran away from a task force seeking to arrest him. Officers chased him to a Burger King while Keely pursued in an unmarked cruiser. Video released by MSP shows the white police officer deliberately drive over a curb - onto a sidewalk - and then violently strike him with a mini-van. The mini-van then pushes Sterling into the side of the building, crushing and pinning him against it. After he was struck, the officer backed up off the curb.

Officers are seen putting handcuffs on Sterling and telling firefighters who responded to the scene to keep the cuffs on, while he was dying. Sterling, 25, was hospitalized and died hours later.

Authorities claim that Keely was not wearing a body camera and his vehicle did not have a dash camera "due to his assignment on a federal task force." The Michigan Attorney General’s Office charged Keely with second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter. The case was later moved into federal court after a motion by the defense, which said it belonged there because Keely was acting as part of a U.S. Marshals task force when the death happened.

In May of this year, U.S. District Court Judge Hala Jarbou dismissed the criminal case. The AG’s Office has filed a notice to appeal that ruling. The case never went to trial because judge Jarbou ruled that the state does not have enough evidence to establish murder (LOL. never happens). While the state still argued he could be found guilty of second-degree murder or involuntary manslaughter if he acted “in disregard of life-endangering consequences.” “The Court is not persuaded by the State’s argument,” the court documents say. (LOL! it was all an accident, jury doesn’t need to decide). [MORE]

The AG’s Office has filed a notice to appeal that ruling.

Attorney Ven Johnson, an attorney representing Sterling's family, said in a statement to ABC News that they were "stunned and appalled to see the MSP trooper deliberately drive over a curb - onto a sidewalk - and violently take Samuel’s life by striking him with an unmarked police car."

"No one person should be able to appoint themselves as judge, jury and executioner, yet deaths from police brutality and excessive force continue to occur too often," Johnson added. [more]

Sterling family ‘sick,’ ‘devastated’ after judge tosses murder case

That same day, state police released an edited, remixed compilation of body-worn and dashboard camera footage of the incident.

The footage shows at least one officer chasing Sterling on foot into a Burger King parking lot when a large grey SUV veers into the lot and hits Sterling, appearing to pin him against the restaurant wall.

After the SUV reverses away from him, several officers converge on Sterling and order him to put his hands behind his back. Sterling repeatedly screams, “My back,” and groans in pain. After his hands are cuffed in front of him, Sterling continues to complain that his back and entire body hurt.

“Don’t move man,” an officer says. Officers ask him where he feels pain and repeatedly tell him not to move until emergency medical personnel arrive. Another officer says, “We don’t want you to move your back.”

Earlier this month, Keely’s lawyers filed a motion to have the civil lawsuit tossed out, citing the dismissal of the criminal case.

The next status conference in the civil case is scheduled for Dec. 15.

Trump Administration Shatters the Record for Total US Airstrikes in Somalia in a single year. US has Been Bombing at a Record Pace as Massa Media Conceals the Story

/

The Trump administration has shattered the record for total US airstrikes in Somalia in a single calendar year, as the US has been bombing the country at a record pace with virtually no American media coverage.

US Africa Command told Antiwar.com in an email on Tuesday that its forces launched a total of nine airstrikes in a recent two-week campaign against the ISIS affiliate in Somalia’s northeastern Puntland region, bringing the total number of US airstrikes in Somalia this year to 68.

The previous record for US airstrikes in Somalia in a single year was set at 63 in 2019 during President Trump’s first term. The current Trump administration is set to significantly outpace the 2019 bombing campaign as it continues to provide air support for local Puntland forces fighting the ISIS affiliate in the northeast and for US-backed government forces fighting al-Shabaab in southern Somalia.

Mississippi Declares Public Health Emergency Over Infant Death Rates – Black Infants are More than Twice as Likely as White infants to Die before their 1st birthday. Are Vaccines the Cause?

/

From [HERE] The State of Mississippi has declared a "public health emergency" after recent data show that the infant mortality rate in the State is now the highest it has been in 10 years. As the CBS article notes, this rise in infant deaths is not limited to the State of Mississippi, but is happening all over the country, and it is primarily happening with Black infants.

In Mississippi, there were 9.7 infant deaths for every 1,000 live births in 2024, which is almost double the most recent national average of 5.5 deaths per 1,000, according to the state Department of Health. The state has long struggled with high infant mortality rates. Since 2014, there have been 3,527 babies who have died before their first birthday in the state, public health officials said. [MORE]

Cindy Rahman, CEO and president of March of Dimes, described Mississippi’s declaration of a public health emergency as a "painful reminder" of a U.S. crisis in maternal and infant health.

“Although Mississippi accounts for less than 1% of U.S. births, the state accounts for more than 1.6% of all infant deaths. These losses should be a wake-up call to the nation," Rahman said, adding that March of Dimes supports officials’ efforts to improve birth outcomes in the state.  

Black infants in Mississippi face the nation's highest death rates. In 2024, more than 15 deaths per 1,000 live births were recorded among Black babies — up 24% in one year over already higher-than-average rates, CNN said. [MORE]

What do public health "authorities" believe is the cause of this increase in infant deaths among Black children? "The leading causes of infant death in Mississippi include congenital malformations, premature birth, low birthweight, and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. (SIDS) Disparities remain stark — Black infants in Mississippi are more than twice as likely as White infants to die before their first birthday, and recent state data show those racial gaps have widened."

"Sudden Infant Death Syndrome" or "SIDS" is just the code name the medical system uses for mostly infant vaccine deaths, since they obviously will never blame infant mortality on vaccines. It has been known for over 2 decades now, including with top scientists at the CDC, that vaccines, and in particular infant vaccines, cause far more damage to Black people than they do to the rest of the population in the United States.

What Are The Real Causes of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)? Why Are Vaccines Excluded?

Here is another report published in 2014 by Neil Z. Miller explaining that the CDC does not even have a classification of death due to vaccines:

CDC Lists 131 Causes of Death For A Child but Omits Vaccines

While it is good that the infant mortality rate in the U.S. is finally getting some coverage in the Corporate News media, their “solutions” are obviously funded by their advertisers in Big Pharma, as they recommend the very things that have caused the problem of SIDS in the U.S.: more medical services to supply more vaccines and drugs.

To support their claims, they point out that medical care in the rural south is not as prevalent as in more affluent areas of the U.S.

But when it comes to sticking needles into the tiny bodies of infants, there are no shortages anywhere in the U.S., as it can be done in any local drug store on the corner of every town and city in the U.S., as well as in clinics right in the public schools.

Even churches now can function as vaccine clinics, as we saw during COVID.

In 2014, Dr. William Thompson of the CDC, who was one of three top researchers at the CDC who published a study in 2004 that was supposed to “prove” that vaccines do not cause autism, admitted to Dr. Brian Hooker that they committed fraud and withheld some data from that study that showed black boys were more susceptible to autism after receiving the MMR vaccines, than non-Black children.

Bignorant Trump Touted the Homicide-free streak in DC as “the first time that’s taken place in years,” but DC went 16 days without a Murder Earlier this year

/

A man was fatally shot in Southeast Washington just after midnight Tuesday, snapping D.C.’s 12-day stretch without a homicide, an unusually long respite from violence for which President Donald Trump claimed credit at a news conference Monday.

“In the last 11 days we’ve had no murders and that’s the first time that’s taken place in years actually, years,” Trump said Monday morning, though city crime statistics show otherwise.

D.C. went 16 days without a homicide earlier this year, from Feb. 24 to March 13. But even 10 days without a killing is rare in the city, occurring once this year before Trump’s takeover of D.C. police and once in January of last year. The 16-day streak earlier this year was the longest in at least six years.

Members of the Trump administration have echoed the false claim that D.C. has not experienced 11 days without a killing in recent history, and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) took to social media Monday to say that 11 days straight with no homicides in D.C. should “top the list” of reasons Trump deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.

“No police officer working in the city can remember a time in their lives when there has been no murders,” Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said during the news conference Monday. “We’ve checked the records, no one can even find a record of being murder-free as long as we’ve been murder-free under President Trump’s leadership.” [MORE]

The US Government has a "compelling interest" to shorten your life expectancy. COVID Shots are "the least restrictive" way to further that interest.

/

In every crime investigation, it is important to identify the Motive, the Means and the Opportunity. I have covered the means and opportunity of the covid democide (and broader CDC vaccine schedule democide) very extensively - covid is an ongoing global military mass killing/injuring campaign. This post discusses the motives and additional “means” built into the “illegal” (unconstitutional) US communicable disease related law, starting over a century ago. While many things have been said about the “global elites, etc” and their desire to control the population, this post is a bit more down to earth look at the immediate “compelling interest” that motivates the US Government to shorten the lifespan of the US population, despite economic growth theories to the contrary.

This post is based on my analysis (with help from Katherine Watt) of the recently circulated letter sent by the HHS’s Office of Civil Rights to West Virginia Health Department. The beginning of the letter sounds like HHS is warning WVHD that if they keep violating religious freedom of West Virginians in regard to vaccinations, the federal funding the WV receives (in part to enforce the violation of the religious freedom and enforce the full CDC vax schedule) is somehow jeopardized. That’s a head scratcher, I know. When you get to p. 2 it becomes less confusing: [MORE]

Lawsuit Filed Over Blendon Township Police Murder of Ta'Kiya Young: 7 Month Pregnant Black Woman Shot Through the Windshield as She Slowly Drove Toward White Cop, Posed No Threat

/

Two years after Ta'Kiya Young was a black woman who was shot and killed by a Blendon Township police officer, the officer's murder case remains unresolved.

Sunday was the second anniversary of Young's death. Last week, her family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Officer Connor Grubb.

Young, 21, was shopping at a Kroger on Sunbury Road when an employee accused her of stealing alcohol and flagged down two nearby officers.

  • Body camera footage showed the officers approaching her car and telling her to get out, with Grubb standing in front and pointing a gun.

  • Young then accelerated forward toward Grubb, who fired a shot that struck her in the chest. She died after being transported to St. Ann's Hospital.

  • Young was pregnant, and her unborn daughter, due that November, did not survive.

Nearly a year later, Grubb was indicted by a Franklin County grand jury on counts of murder, involuntary manslaughter and felonious assault.

  • He pleaded not guilty, posted a $20,000 bond and was on paid administrative leave until this summer.

Two years after the shooting, Grubb has still not stood trial.

The wrongful death suit alleges Grubb's "reckless and intentional conduct" violated Young's rights and caused her "preventable" death.

  • The suit also names the Kroger Corporation and an unidentified Kroger employee as defendants.

  • "There was no immediate threat to any officer, no weapon found, and no justification for the use of deadly force," the suit reads. "Ms. Young was executed for a minor and unverified shoplifting allegation, a tragic and inexcusable example of police misconduct and abuse of power."

Dogmatic Simpleton Jeanine Pirro Wants to Prosecute “Some” 12-year-olds as Adults in DC (so long as They are Black)

/

Jeanine Pirro is A ZEALOT ADVOCATE. Ironically, ELITE LIBERALS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DO THIS FOR YEARS.

ACCORDING TO FUNKTIONARY:

zeal – energy that compels, encourages and embraces a continuous momentum of change, investing in the flow of the current, rather than resisting it. 2) energy that gravitates towards letting go, rather than holding on. Zeal is that which is fit for wise men and women but is found most commonly in fools, ideologues, and dogmatic simpletons. (See: “Letting-Go”)

Zealot – one who suffers from the lot of being shackled with unthinking patriotic or religious dogma. 2) one with fire (heat, passion) without light (wisdom and overstanding). A zealot is one who indiscriminately misapplies or abuses zeal.

From [HERE] D.C.’s new top prosecutor, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, is seeking more authority to prosecute young people as adults in D.C.’s court system. Amid pressure from the White House to bring down crime, Pirro told the News4 I-Team she wants to prosecute suspects as young as 12 as adults.

Pirro zeroed in quickly on the idea that she didn’t have enough tools when it comes to prosecuting young people. In a sit-down interview, the I-Team asked if she believes the D.C. Council will give her those tools.

“No, and, in fact, what I look to do is to amend some of the outrageous, pro-defendant, anti-victim laws that have been passed,” she said.

Pirro spoke about “young punks going out assaulting people, shooting people.”

“The time for coddling young people – 14, 15, 16, 17 – is over. And it's time that we lowered the age of criminal responsibility,” she said.

Pirro said she thinks efforts to rehabilitate young people are “great” but “there's got to be consequences. There's got be deterrence. There's got to be punishments,” she said. “We got 12 and 13-year-olds who are trying to break into a car while a woman is in it, threatening her, telling her ‘Open the door’ while her boyfriend's getting the hell kicked out of him.”

She was referencing the attempted carjacking case involving former DOGE employee Edward Coristine, her office said.

D.C. law would prevent Pirro from prosecuting 12 and 13-year-olds as adults. The I-Team asked, would she want to prosecute a 12-year-old as an adult?

“Sure. I have. As a DA, I have. To me, age is a context. It doesn't determine what the consequence should be. Hey, in criminal court, we can give you rehabilitation. A judge can do all that. He can give your probation. But there's gotta be a record. There's gotta an accessible record. And there's got to be accountability. And right now there is not,” she said. [MORE]

Israel Bombs Hospital, Murders Journalists, Medics, Dozens more Across Gaza

/

From [HERE] Israel has struck Nasser Hospital in the south of the Gaza Strip, killing at least 21 people, including five journalists, as well as medics and rescue workers, in the latest deliberate attack on civilians and the besieged enclave’s decimated health system.

Monday’s attack, which killed journalists who worked for Al Jazeera, the Reuters and Associated Press (AP) news agencies, and others, was among the deadliest of a multitude of Israeli strikes that have targeted both hospitals and media workers over the course of the nearly two-year genocidal assault.

It comes as Israel widens its offensive to heavily populated areas and urban centres, including Gaza City, increasing the already heightened peril for the population.

The first strike of the “double-tap” attack, where one strike is followed by a second soon after, hit the top floor of a building at Nasser Hospital. Minutes later, as journalists and rescuers in orange vests rushed up an external staircase, a second projectile hit, said Dr Ahmed al-Farra, the head of the paediatrics department.

Among the journalists killed were Al Jazeera’s Mohammad Salama, Reuters cameraman Hussam al-Masri, Mariam Abu Daqqa, a freelance journalist working for AP at the time, as well as Ahmed Abu Aziz and Moaz Abu Taha.

Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum, reporting from Deir el-Balah, said the attack has “sent the entire area into an absolute sense of chaos and panic”.

“Not only for passers-by or people living in the vicinity of the hospital, but for the patients themselves, who are receiving treatment in one of the areas that must be protected under … international humanitarian law,” Abu Azzoum said. [MORE]

Ego Shining: McNegro Wes Moore isn’t on Video saying 'Trump is the Greatest President,' but the Nations Only Black Governor is Caught on Camera Engaging in Master-Servant Relations, Brown-Nosing

/

While speaking to reporters at the Oval Office on Monday, President Donald Trump claimed that Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) told him last year that he had been “the greatest president” of Moore’s lifetime.

But the possible 2028 presidential candidate quickly dispelled the claim, saying in a radio interview hours later that he never told Trump that.

“I’m a person who takes my integrity very seriously, and I spent the past six months before that election campaigning as to why I did not think that he should be the next president of the United States,” Moore told WBAL Radio. “So when I say that conversation never happened, that imaginary conversation never happened, I mean that conversation never happened.”

According to FUNKTIONARY:

ego-shine – the act of someone flattering another for the purposes of immediate or future gain. 2) a higher, more sophisticated form of brown-nosing—remember what egos are like? Scuff Daddy shines your ego—leaving you puffed-up or buffed-up.

Filling the Jails with Black People: New Study Finds 46% of All Youth Locked Up are Black (despite being only 15% of all youth) and Black Youth are 5.6X more Likely to be Incarcerated than White Kids

/

The Sentencing Project released a series of briefs revealing a disturbing resurgence in youth incarceration and widening racial disparities as of 2023–just as the Trump Administration calls for increased criminalization of youth. Reporting from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) showed the first consecutive annual increase in the one-day count of youth incarceration since 2000. The findings, compiled in three newly released briefs underscore the urgent need for systemic reform in youth justice practices nationwide.

Key findings include:

Black Youth Incarceration

  • 46% of youth in placement are Black, even though Black youth comprise only 15% of all youth in the United States

  • Black youth are 5.6 times as likely to be incarcerated than white youth– and the Black/white racial disparities in youth incarceration grew more than 10% in 23 states.

  • Nebraska has the highest Black youth incarceration rate, the second-highest Black/white disparity, and the third-fastest growing disparity over the past decade.

  • West Virginia ranks second in Black youth incarceration.

Latino Youth Incarceration

  • Latino youth are at least twice as likely to be incarcerated than white youth in 11 states.

  • The Latino/white disparity rate in youth incarceration grew more than 10% in 13 states over the last ten years.

  • West Virginia has the highest Latino youth incarceration rate.

  • Latino youth were at least three times as likely to be held in placement in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Utah, and South Carolina compared to their white peers.

Tribal Youth Incarceration

  • Tribal youth are almost four times as likely to be incarcerated than white youth.

  • The Tribal/white disparity rate in youth incarceration has grown more than 10% in eight states with significant Tribal populations.

  • South Dakota leads the nation in Tribal youth incarceration, ranks third in its Tribal/white disparity, and has the third-fastest-growing disparity.

  • Minnesota has the highest Tribal/white disparity and ranks third in Tribal youth incarceration.

  • Tribal youth were at least ten times as likely to be held in placement as white youth in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. [MORE]

Additionally, a new Prison Policy Initiative report provides the most up-to-date picture of how many youth are detained and committed in the U.S., highlighting the persistent overincarceration of Black and Indigenous youth in a system that, in recent decades, has made great strides in reducing youth confinement overall. Youth Confinement: The Whole Pie 2025 explores the conditions facing 31,900 kids today — most of whom are held in youth prisons and jails — and offers data on youth confinement by offense type in all 50 states.

Over the past 25 years, the number of youth in confinement in the U.S. has fallen by more than 70 percent — impressive progress compared to the adult criminal legal system, whose populations have changed very little overall in that same period. Nevertheless, the U.S. still confines youth at a rate more than twice the global average, and its juvenile legal system mirrors the adult system in many alarming ways:

  • Severe racial disparities. 47% of boys and 39% of girls in juvenile facilities are Black — a level of disparity that has actually worsened in recent years. And even excluding youth held in Indian country facilities, Indigenous children make up 3% of girls and 2% of boys in juvenile facilities, despite comprising less than 1% of all youth nationally.

  • Large numbers of youth held pretrial or for minor offenses. Nearly 9,000 youth today are locked up before they’ve had a trial, and thousands are in detention for minor, low-level offenses. Select states — such as Indiana, which accounts for almost one-quarter of kids locked up for running away; and Texas and California, which hold 26% of kids confined for technical violations of parole — contribute heavily to this problem.

  • Prison-like conditions. While the number of kids in large facilities (holding 100 youth or more) has fallen steeply in the last few years, nearly 4 out of every 5 confined kids are held in youth or adult prisons and jails — an increase since 2017, when 65% of confined youth were held in such places.

NAACP Urges Legislature to Pass Stalling Reparations Bills

/

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, California-Hawaii State Conference (CA/HI NAACP), is urging the Legislature to pass two reparations bills authored by state Sen. Akilah Weber Pierson (D-San Diego), chair of the California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC). 

The bills — Senate Bill (SB) 518 and SB) 437 – were assigned to the “Suspense File” after review in the Assembly Appropriations Committee. 

In the California Legislature, any bill that would potentially cost the state more than $50,000 from the General Fund or $150,000 from special funds is automatically sent to the Suspense File for further consideration at a special hearing. 

Rick L. Callender, President of the NAACP Cal-Hi State Conference, said the bills are critical for advancing racial and social justice in California and are a “moral and constitutional imperative.” 

“For generations, Black Californians have carried the weight of systemic harm with no redress. These bills offer the state a chance to begin making that right,” Callender said. 

“The NAACP has long demanded reparations for the descendants of slavery,” Callender continued.  “California must lead with courage, not caution, and move these bills forward without another delay.”  

SB 518 proposes the establishment of an agency to implement state-level reparations for eligible descendants of enslaved individuals.  SB 437 authorizes California State University (CSU) to use genealogical records to determine eligibility for initiatives benefiting descendants of enslaved persons. [MORE]

Piece and Freedumb Lover Trump's Executive Order Prohibiting Flag Burning Is Unconstitutional

/

From [HERE] President Donald Trump issued an executive order prohibiting the burning of the American flag on Monday. There's a big problem with the order, though—one that Trump even acknowledged in his press conference touting the E.O. Flag burning is clearly protected by the First Amendment, and the Supreme Court has twice affirmed that this is so.

Moreover, any administration that purports to care about freedom of speech should easily reach the conclusion that criminalizing provocative yet nonviolent acts of political expression is a violation of this principle, even if the constitutional issue was not so cut and dry.

It's understandable why people don't like flag burning. The flag is a visual representation of the principles upon which America was founded, and when it's disrespected, many Americans take it as a sign that those values are being treated with contempt.

"Flag burning, all over the country they're burning flags," lamented Trump, as he signed the order.

Free speech, though, is among the most fundamental American values of all. The right of Americans to speak their minds is enshrined in the First Amendment; importantly, this right does not apply solely to benign, polite, socially acceptable speech. As one hundred years of Supreme Court jurisprudence has made clear, the First Amendment also protects hateful speech, wrongful speech, angry speech, criticism of the government, and so on. There are some exceptions to the First Amendment, but they are incredibly narrow—and importantly, they do not include flag-burning.

That's because the Supreme Court ruled on this very issue in the landmark 1989 case Texas v. Johnson, which overturned 48 state laws prohibiting desecration of the American flag. In response, Congress passed a federal law that prohibited flag burning, and the following year, the Supreme Court reached the exact same conclusion in United States v. Eichman. If the state-level bans are unconstitutional, and the ban implemented by Congress is unconstitutional, then you can pretty safely bet that the executive order version is even more obviously unconstitutional.
