The Washington Post · Civil rights lawyers leave en masse as Justice Dept. mission shiftsBy Perry Stein

(machine translation fr)
"This Friday morning, Aboubakar, a young Malian man of 22 years, was alone in the Khadidja mosque in La Grand-Combe, a small village of 5000 inhabitants in the Gard, to do the cleaning in preparation for the great prayer of the’ afternoon. While Aboubakar was kneeling to pray, a man armed with’a knife burst into the’ and stabbed him about fifty times.

While the victim was between life and death at his feet, the’assassin filmed his agony,’ exclaiming « your goddamn God, I planted his ass. », according to a modus operandi reminiscent of the Christchurch attack, which had claimed the lives of 51 new Zealanders of Muslim faith during a carnage broadcast live on the internet. The’assassin then fled and would at the moment still on the run and would have affirmed in video his desire to reiterate his act.
A despicable and openly Islamophobic act, which occurs only one day after the murder of’a high school girl in Nantes by a teenager « fascinated by Nazi ideals ». The two dramas are inseparable from the xenophobic and Islamophobic climate that reigns in France."

Of the 809, 39% had reported the abuse to the social media platform but received no response; 40% reported it but received an unsatisfactory response; 6% reported it and received a satisfactory response; 15% did not report it. Only 10% reported it to the police, and one in 10 of these received a satisfactory response.

Earnest chat on RN Brekkie early this morn twixt Sally & Melissa on Sat's election, with them entirely discussing potato/Liebs vs elbow/Labs as if that's the whole story. It's just endless bullshit propagation of the enduring myth of 2PP, utterly... wilfully... ignoring that these loser parties now command <60% of the electorate support. If i weren't such a pacifist i might have begun violently chucking cushions. 🤭
