News Attention to Deadly Conflicts Since Year 2000, measured in pages published per fatality.

One of these things is not like the others

While I know that the big outlier that people are focusing on here is Gaza, I just want to quickly point out how incredibly low the coverage ratio is for Congolese deaths, especially given that that genocide has been characterized by extensive cannibalism. The Congo region mines, processes, and exports huge amounts of tin, copper, gold, diamonds, lithium and, crucially, over 70% of the world’s cobalt. In all likelihood, spoils of that specific genocide are powering the very device that you are reading this post on. There are political reasons why people are making disproportionately more noise about Gaza, yes. But if we’re going to be making these comparisons, then we need to state this outright as well: that there are equally vile political reasons why people are making disproportionately less noise about the Mbuti genocide.

If the WHOLE COUNTRY'S economy cannot work without the labor that UPS workers provide, than their labor is worth their demands and more.

No other conclusion can be rationally made from this information.

there’s something so incredibly soft about the phrase “this made me think of you.” or, “this reminded me of you.” like!!!! being known is scary but then people see fragments of you in the world around them and can’t help but share that love and i think that’s beautiful.

Cutest thing ever

You can't reform, you must abolish.

Police are the problem. Giving more money to the problem makes the problem bigger.

Where is the data that backs up more police funding lowers crime?

There is none.

The rich siphoned your labor value in a rigged system. You just want it back. #TaxTheRich

“Americans love to sue. 🤣🤣🤣🤣” you would love to sue too if you had a deeply flawed for-profit medical system and evil corporations that can destroy lives with no consequences

The justice system is a fucking joke. Making individuals, corporations and conglomerates pay for the harm they’ve done often has to be done through suing. Money can’t bring back a dead family member or heal the trauma and physical harm done to you but it can buy therapy and it can hurt these figures in the only way they can feel pain, their wallets.
