in reply to phaedral

@phaedral Yeah, it was the week we did Frogs (1972), but there was a 1992 movie also called Frogs which was technically a sequel but not labeled as such, and was considerably more popular, so it was easy to mix up the two. So during the week leading up to the event, @Taweret and others kept reminding people not to do a #WrongFrogs by watching the 1992 version by mistake.

After we finished watching the 1972 Frogs, a few of us randomly decided we wanted to watch the 1992 Frogs as a double feature. So we did.

Mumia Abu-Jamal’s Eyesight Endangered Due to Medical Negligence


Imprisoned for more than 43 years in the United States, Mumia Abu Jamal suffers from irreversible vision loss that can lead to permanent blindness. His eyesight is threatened by two correctable conditions. The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections and his contracted health care provider, Wellpath, allowed his eyesight to deteriorate to the point of rendering him functionally blind. In particular, his treatments for his cataract and recently diagnosed diabetic retinopathy were delayed for several months. His supporters encourage people to contact the prison to demand that he receive appropriate treatment (see here).

Not a fan of anyone on this panel. Nevertheless, this was a good synopsis.

"This inconsistency [in defining #genocide] will likely embarrass #Germany and others before the #ICJ when lawyers point out that they argue one thing in one case and the opposite in another.

The Court emphasized that the obligation to “prevent” genocide is meaningful and binding. States party to the Convention—including #Germany, the United States, and more than 150 others—have a duty to use their influence on other states or entities perpetrating genocide.

Investigation Finds Migrants Used Hidden Cameras to Cheat on Truck License Tests

breitbart.com/immigration/2025…

Florida police have discovered how migrants who cannot speak English have been getting licenses to drive 18-wheelers on the nation’s highways.

With news breaking all across the country of major highway accidents that have killed Americans perpetrated by non-English speaking migrants behind the wheels of massive semi trucks, many have wondered how they could be ...

Way before Jan 6, when a Trump speech was followed by his fans storming the capitol, there was the PBA riot, when a Giuliani speech was followed by NYPD cops storming NY City Hall, calling Dinkins, the city's 1st Black mayor, the n-word, and threatening him with harm.

Giuliani won the next election.

Why were the cops so mad at Dinkins?

Well, NYPD were beating and killing a lot of people, mostly Black and brown. The board responsible for police oversight was ineffective, as it was half cops and half civilians. That's like the "Chicken Safety Oversight Board" being half chickens and half foxes.🤡

After a Dominican man was killed, mayor Dinkins committed two unforgivable sins:

1) He met with the victim's family, and invited them to city hall.

2) He recommended that while policy boards should have both law enforcement and civilian members, the civilian oversight board should be... well... 100% civilian.

Then the Giuliani speech and city hall riot happened.

Then there was a very racist campaign for mayor, that Dinkins lost and Giuliani won.

Then Giuliani did his "broken windows" policing, resulting in significant pain to NYC Black and brown communities.

Then he supported the Patriot Act to further "War on Drugs" poor Black folk.

Then he did the election stuff that he is still paying for.

He was never "America's mayor."

In an exclusive interview with ECPS, Professor William Schabas, one of the world’s foremost authorities on genocide and international criminal law, warns that the Gaza crisis represents a “litmus test” for the credibility of international justice.

The case filed by South Africa against Israel at the ICJ is “arguably the strongest case of genocide ever brought before the Court.”
