Hatesquash - GenX-Rage

I wrote a whole ass very detailed post but Tumblr drafts ate yet it's important to get the message out rn at peak hours so here's a summary:

Injuries have risen to 100 btw. PM Auntie called protestors the Bangladeshi equivalent of the Nazis. Injuries are mostly from Dhaka University. Jahangirnagar University was also attempted to be breached (students are currently occupying the halls). Emergency wards are getting attacked. Local media coverage is extremely limited. International coverage is necessary for survival - if BD govt will bend at anyone's whim, it's (unfortunately) the western powers. Big news agency coverages will ensure human rights violations and war crimes will be minimal if at all. Please signal boost. It will be more than helpful if we get international interest in this. Please.

It is almost 4AM It hurts to think how many students might not live to see the sunrise.

It was never a war

Everyone knows

Religious fucknut doesn't read their own fucking "holy" text in rush to alienate the "other".

"This is not “The Ten Commandments” that can be found in any Bible. It’s “The Ten Commandments” that Hollywood used to promote DeMille’s 1956 blockbuster The Ten Commandments."

Louisiana will post the Twelve Commandments in schools

The 12 commandments mandated for Louisiana schools are not from the Bible. They're from a 1950s promotional campaign by the Fraternal Order

TWO HOURS AGO: an incredible photo taken by a ut austin student capturing something deeply poetic in my opinion, a line of state troopers eagerly waiting to arrest student protesters standing just behind a sign that reads "what starts here changes the world. its starts with you and what you do each day."

BOOST!

As if they haven't been doing this for decades...

EXCLUSIVE: “You Have Been Warned”: Republican Senators Threaten the ICC Prosecutor over Possible Israel Arrest Warrants

Read the full letter, obtained by Zeteo, which threatens sanctions in defense of Netanyahu.

“Target Israel and we will target you,” the senators tell Khan, adding that they will “sanction your employees and associates, and bar you and your families from the United States.”

Rather ominously, the letter concludes: “You have been warned.” In a statement to Zeteo, Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland said, “It is fine to express opposition to a possible judicial action, but it is absolutely wrong to interfere in a judicial matter by threatening judicial officers, their family members and their employees with retribution. This thuggery is something befitting the mafia, not U.S. senators.”

While neither Israel nor the United States are members of the ICC, the Palestinian territories were admitted with the status of a member state in April 2015. Khan, a British lawyer, was appointed as the ICC’s chief prosecutor in February 2021, a week after the court had already decided, by majority, that its territorial jurisdiction extended to “Gaza and the West Bank.”

In the wake of the attacks of Oct. 7, 2023, Khan announced that the court had jurisdiction over any potential war crimes committed both by Hamas militants in Israel and by Israeli forces in Gaza. The ICC, per the Rome Statute of 2002, can charge individuals with war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide – and recent reports suggest Israeli officials increasingly believe that the ICC is preparing arrest warrants for Netanyahu and other senior cabinet and military officials.

On Friday, The Hague-based office of the chief prosecutor published an unprecedented statement on Twitter, calling for an end to threats of retaliation against the ICC and attempts to “impede” and “intimidate” its officials. The statement added that such threats could “constitute an offence against the administration of justice” under the Rome Statute.
