We will only solve our problems, and rid ourselves of monsters, when we accept that *we* created each and every one of them.
"Whatever is only almost true is quite false, and among the most dangerous of errors because, being so near truth, it is the more likely to lead astray." ― Henry Ward Beecher

Innocent 'until' proven guilty implies guilt — we're going to treat him as innocent til the verdict comes in, then the gloves are off.

"UK universities have engaged in a 'crackdown' on Palestine solidarity activism. That's according to a new report from Amnesty International.

Students and academics have been sanctioned for actions like chanting, clapping and wearing keffiyehs, with these sanctions including suspensions, campus bans, withdrawal of degrees and threats to visa status, the report found."

"The threat [from Trump] is clear: US companies have six months to stop working with the International Criminal Court (ICC). In practice, that means the court won’t be able to pay its staff or communicate by email, and it might cease to exist.

…the ICC investigates and holds leaders accountable for the world’s worst crimes.

But Europe can still save the ICC…can activate a legal shield that would block these US sanctions in Europe. This tool has been used before."

"Lilla Hurst used to spend her commute reading, or just sitting quietly. Then the noise crept in. Music and videos blaring from phones on every side, and whenever she asked someone to turn it down, she was met with hostility.

Now the government has announced a crackdown…"

"On trains, where it’s been against the law since 2005…" Who knew?!

And why only music, what about phone calls, and loud talking, and screaming kids?
