Claude says: The honest one-line summary: where the report quotes Casey, it's roughly accurate; the dishonesty is in what it builds around those quotes and what it leaves on the floor. It uses her to establish that the issue is real and was suppressed — which is true and to her credit — and then silently discards her national data, her "all communities" framing, her warning against collective blame, and her vulnerability-based explanation, replacing them with national figures from weaker sources and a religious-civilizational thesis that is the report's own. The citations are real; the through-line they appear to support is manufactured. A useful tell for any reader: every time the report cites Casey, check whether it's citing her for scale (where she says "unknowable") or for local disproportionality (where she's specific and limited), and notice that it never once cites her for the national breakdown or her caveats. A source used only for the half that helps is being used as a prop, not as evidence.

Move 3 — The national figure that gets omitted entirely. This is the cleanest omission. The same Casey audit the report cites found that, nationally, where perpetrator ethnicity was recorded at all, the largest group of perpetrators are White and the second largest group are those recorded as being 'Asian' — and that this rested on submissions where only 3% gave full perpetrator data and 68% gave none. The report cites this audit repeatedly and never mentions its national plurality finding. You cannot cite a document for its "can't be quantified" line while suppressing its "largest recorded group is White" line and call that a fair use of the source. GOV.UK

Move 2 — A local finding rewritten as a national one. Casey's disproportionality finding was explicitly geographic. Her team examined local data in three force areas — Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire and South Yorkshire — places already known for high-profile Pakistani-heritage cases, and found suspects there were disproportionately Asian men. That is a real finding about specific places. TheyWorkForYou The report converts this into a claim about the nation and the religion: a "specific ethnoreligious phenomenon," gangs that consisted "entirely of men from Muslim backgrounds." The qualifier that made Casey's finding defensible — in these three areas, with these caveats — disappears.

“What a Gazan should do during an Israeli airstrike.” 🎙️Author Mosab Abu Toha reads from his poem written in May 2021, offering haunting instructions for what a Gazan should do during an Israeli airstrike, from turning off the lights and sitting away from windows, to packing a child’s backpack with toys, ID cards, family photos, seeds, soil, and the memory of the last birthday.

The most contemptible people on earth. You can’t hate them enough. Ordinary people must take action against them wherever they go. It comes to this.

هكذا غادر المستوطنون بالمواشي المسروقة وخلفهم جيب إسرائيلي يحميهم. قالت مجندة إسرائيلية لفلسطيني يطالب بحقه باستهزاء: اتصل بالسلطة تحميك وترجع لك الأغنام. أصيب خمسة فلسطينيين، من بينهم طفل يبلغ من العمر 16 سنة، خلال سرقة المواشي من الأهالي .

@samanthaettus False.

Israel isn't just murdering people... Israel is death itself.

@realMaalouf Because they stopped falling for this propaganda.

Israel just carried out around 100 airstrikes in minutes across Lebanon. Over 250 killed. Over 1,000 injured. And that’s just ONE wave. More than 3,500 targets have already been struck. Over a million people displaced. But the news cycle is quiet. Silence doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

"Leadership is not just mirroring the worst emotions." 🎙️In this clip from the Sumud Podcast, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed explains why real change requires more than passion, it requires strategy. He reflects on how to engage people who may not share the same emotional connection to Palestine, and why meeting people where they are can be more effective than confrontation. 🌍 Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is a physician, epidemiologist, author, and public servant currently running for the U.S. Senate in Michigan. Born and raised in Southeast Michigan to an Egyptian immigrant father and an American mother, his life has been shaped by navigating multiple cultures and perspectives.

He later served as Director of Wayne County’s Health, Human & Veterans Services Department, where he oversaw services for 1.8 million residents. His work has focused on expanding healthcare access, removing lead from schools, providing free glasses to children, combating the opioid crisis through Narcan distribution, and canceling hundreds of millions in medical debt.

The same people beating the drums for war today are the same types who cheered the Iraq War. That war killed over 1 million Iraqis and burned trillions of dollars and now even its supporters admit it was a disaster. And the people who opposed it? They are remembered as the heroes. Like Brian McGinnis, the Marine who stood up in a Senate hearing to oppose another war and had his arm broken while being dragged out. History follows the same pattern every time. War fever now. Regret later. If you want to be on the right side of history, stand up while the war is being sold, not after the bodies are buried. #BeLikeBrian

Let me give you a direct quote. They will say you this is about security. They will say you this is about deterrence. They will say you this is about preventing a future threat. But watch the pattern. Every escalation is framed as defense, while the scope of force continues to expand. Every action is justified as necessary, while the objective quietly grows larger. And the most honest explanation was already said out loud by Mike Huckabee: “It would be fine if they [Israel] took it all.”

@BrianMGC Oh excuse me: He was released outside a Border Patrol station at night in below-freezing winter conditions and was expected to find his own way home.

A legally blind Rohingya refugee, Nurul Amin Shah Alam, died of hypothermia after ICE released him alone at night in freezing Buffalo temperatures. He relied on a cane. He did not speak English. This wasn’t just policy. This was a failure of humanity.

If you want to be outrageously successful, you must not allow other people’s rationality to infect your delusion.
