Noteworthy:

12-year-old Finnish victim with a foreign background sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries

and:

stabbed the 12-year-old victim from behind several times. After that he tried to go after a minor who was in the company of the other victim of stabbing

Far-right ties, violence, cowardice and racism go together really well.

I’m truly sorry for the child and their friend - and their respective families. I hope they recover from this - and that the fascist terrorist gets what he deserves.

It provides for 20 years of incarceration for people that make abortions after 22 weeks of pregnancy, a situation mainly seen among girls who were sexually abused.

If we could pull back the curtain to see what entities are responsible for such vile bills of law, we might not be surprised. But developments like this remain shocking nonetheless.

I applaud the protesters for standing up for women’s rights. And I support the continued dismantling of the patriarchy. We need to keep at it.

This part is notable:

Briefed on the Pentagon’s secret anti-vax campaign by Reuters, some American public health experts also condemned the program, saying it put civilians in jeopardy for potential geopolitical gain. An operation meant to win hearts and minds endangered lives, they said.

“I don’t think it’s defensible,” said Daniel Lucey, an infectious disease specialist at Dartmouth’s Geisel School of Medicine. “I’m extremely dismayed, disappointed and disillusioned to hear that the U.S. government would do that,” said Lucey, a former military physician who assisted in the response to the 2001 anthrax attacks.

The effort to stoke fear about Chinese inoculations risked undermining overall public trust in government health initiatives, including U.S.-made vaccines that became available later, Lucey and others said. Although the Chinese vaccines were found to be less effective than the American-led shots by Pfizer and Moderna, all were approved by the World Health Organization. Sinovac did not respond to a Reuters request for comment.

It’s truly indefensible to see this kind of behavior that can kill people for geopolitical gain. And now, when we complain about foreign meddling, we can rightfully be reminded of what our side did to others…

The cruelty aside, I am also amazed by the shortsightedness of such tactics. This was an obviously failed strategy from the start. (And imaging the ignorance of assuming it would not be leaked…)

On a US dairy farm, working in the milking parlor can mean seven-day weeks, 12-hour shifts and intimate contact with cows and everything they expel.

“When you disconnect the machine from the udder, it can shoot milk in your face,” said José Martínez, a former dairy worker and United Farm Workers advocate based in Washington state. “And there’s no time or place to eat. So we ate our tacos in spare moments with cow shit on our hands.”

Our inability to prepare for the next pandemic is itself horrible.

But infectious diseases aside, this misery resulting from capitalism is horrible too.

Would you ever want any of your children or loved ones to be compelled to work seven days a week, 12 hours a day, working hard physical labor, with no facilities to wash their hands before quickly eating a meal?

If not, would you wish that upon anyone else?

This is truly sad.

At the time, this was a...

The article lost me at “[Trump’s] no-nonsense New Jersey crowd at a rally”.

Am I supposed to assume that the folks showing up at a Trump rally are no-nonsense? I beg your forgiveness, but I’m struggling with that one. Maybe I’m misunderstanding.

As for “draws yawns” and “raises eyebrows”, cool stuff if some of these folks are feeling fatigue from the hate machine or are newly perplexed by their political leader. Better late than never, I suppose.
