I could see giving the assessment to act as something like a screener for post partum anxiety/depression risk.

I have no idea if that was the reasoning, but even then it seems like the way to move forward when you know someone is at risk, is to offer inpatient or outpatient resources. Then continue to follow up with more screeners. Just taking a newborn baby away is bad for both the mother and child’s physical and mental health.

I feel so much anger just thinking about her situation, and all the maternal instincts that you feel leading up to and after giving birth. That sounds like a nightmare.

Brønlund told the Guardian: “I didn’t want to go into labour because I knew what would happen afterwards. I would keep my baby nearby me when she was in my stomach, that was the closest I would be with her. It was a very rough and horrible time.”

She said her first meeting with her daughter, earlier this week, was cut short early because the baby was believed to be overtired and overstimulated.

“My heart broke when she [the supervisor] stopped the time. I was so sad, I cried out to the car and in the car. It was so fast that we had to leave,” she said, through tears. “My heart is so broken, I don’t know what to do without her.”

Holy fuck, well if you weren’t traumatized before you are now, and we made sure trauma has a head start to continue on to the next generation.

My first thought too, who tf thinks its a good idea to remove a newborn from their mother for something like that??

The most critical period for skin to skin contact: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/12578-kangaroo-care

Brønlund was told that her baby was removed because of the trauma she had suffered at the hands of her adoptive father, who is in prison for sexually abusing her. The municipality told her she was “not Greenlandic enough” for the new law banning the tests to apply, despite her being born in Greenland of Greenlandic parents.

What the actual fuck? I wasn’t understanding this… Still not sure if I am bc it seems so incomprehensible.

They took her newborn baby bc she (the mother) was a victim of sexual abuse? Wtf is the logic behind that?

I love the far right argument that we shouldn’t be “handing out medical care to people in need in foreign countries.”

Bc according to the far right we also shouldn’t be “handing out medical care to people in need in our own country.”

And then it just kinda makes you wonder who tf is actually entitled to medical care according to the far right? And then you realize, oh you just answered your own question.

“My hazy crystal ball suggests that Trump will announce a new ‘great partnership’ aimed at shifting the tone and character of the US-China relationship in a more positive direction,” Graham Allison, a professor and China scholar at Harvard, wrote in an August 11 post on X.

Trump administration: China is our greatest threat and the AI race will determine the future. You must be willing to hand over your civil liberty today for your safety tomorrow. We need to be more like China, so we can catch up with China, or risk being subservient to China.

Also the Trump administration: That was yesterday. China is our new best fren… We’re still doing away with civil liberties though.

Ughh, I mean we are just handing military rank over to Palantir employees, so why not?

General Big Balls🎖️got his ass kicked by high schoolers while betraying his country.

Freedom today for safety tomorrow. That’s where it always starts. How far it’s allowed to go is TBD, but don’t worry, it’s for your own good.

Definitely not a coincidence.

I think it’s odd (and pretty terrifying) the U.K. and U.S. have been on such similar and almost coordinated authoritarian tracks over the last few years. It started with a lot of gradual steps and more recently they seem to be ramping things up (which also seems pretty common for authoritarianism/by the time most people notice something weird is happening it’s too late).

Both ramping up A.I. to spy on, and control/micromanage their own civilians while refusing regulations or any public accountability for the A.I. they’re developing.

Compliance with ethical standards in the reporting of donor sources and ethics review in peer-reviewed publications involving organ transplantation in China: a scoping review

Results 445 included studies reported on outcomes of 85 477 transplants. 412 (92.5%) failed to report whether or not organs were sourced from executed prisoners; and 439 (99%) failed to report that organ sources gave consent for transplantation. In contrast, 324 (73%) reported approval from an IRB. Of the papers claiming that no prisoners’ organs were involved in the transplants, 19 of them involved 2688 transplants that took place prior to 2010, when there was no volunteer donor programme in China.

It’s also funny you’re doing some impressive gymnastics to defend a government against genocide.

Nobody is defending the Moonies, especially not this current affairs publication owned by a Japanese media corporation. Here’s plenty of examples of them calling out the Unification Church: https://thediplomat.com/tag/unification-church/

Anybody can be nominated to be an ambassador for peace, it’s also associated with the UN. https://www.upf.org/core-program/ambassadors-for-peace

Launched in 2001, Ambassadors for Peace is the largest and most diverse network of peace leaders. As of 2020, there are more than 100,000 Ambassadors for Peace from 160 countries who come from all walks of life representing many races, religions, nationalities, and cultures

Literally she has no other ties to the Moonies/unification church, and how about the human right lawyer she directly quotes.

Or the bioethicist and part of the coalition to End Transplant Abuses in China (ETAC)? All just cold war propaganda?

Anyway, keep spreading that there is no genocide propaganda.

Two months after the Trump administration all but shut down its foreign news services in Asia, China is gaining significant ground in the information war, building toward a regional propaganda monopoly, including in areas where U.S.-backed outlets once reported on Beijing’s harsh treatment of ethnic minorities.

The U.S. decision to shut down much of RFA’s shortwave broadcasting in Asia is one of several cases where the Trump administration — which views China as America’s biggest rival — has yielded the adversary a strategic advantage.

I know many red states have been trying to defend Republican Medicaid cuts by blaming residents for being unhealthy.

“We tried to give you healthcare, but it wasn’t sustainable bc y’all just don’t know how to take care of yourselves.”

The cost being unsustainable is pure bullshit anyway, but even if that were true, the idea that when looking at the cost of covering healthcare in the United States, their go to argument for why it’s so expensive, places the blame on the patients for needing healthcare.

As if nobody has ever pointed out side by side bills comparing the cost of the same hospital stays in the U.S. vs just about any other county.

Peak authoritarian government acting like a narcissistic parent and gaslighting America into believing the reason they can’t take care of their kids is bc the kids are at fault. Not bc they just suck as a parent and shouldn’t have kids if they can’t take care of them.

The article is about the list of Putin’s inner circle since the beginning of the war in Ukraine (2 in just the last week).

Starovoit is among a number of state officials and prominent businessmen who have died in mysterious circumstances since the beginning of the war in Ukraine. Putin’s foes and critics have often met with violent deaths.

I think most people know the number of individuals who have fallen out of windows would be a much bigger list. 6 very prominent individuals with direct links to Putin have been killed, just over the past week 2 more have been killed and several have been arrested. It seems like Putin is taking over any resources he needs and cleaning house in an attempt to defeat Ukraine.

Also, that was the suggested auto title, and how it appears on the homepage of the news website.

Fingers crossed. Not sure how many children and innocent civilians you have to intentionally murder for absolutely no reason in 2025 to get charged with a war crime, but it must be a pretty high bar bc…
