The US is in bad company for never signing the Rome Statue creating the International Criminal Court

What is a Crime Against Humanity?

Crimes against humanity are specific crimes committed in the context of a large-scale attack targeting civilians, regardless of their nationality. These crimes include the most egregious violations of human dignity, especially those directed towards civilian populations. Crimes against humanity have often been committed as part of State policies, but they can also be perpetrated by non-State armed groups or paramilitary forces. www.law.cornell.edu/...

Seems like numbers 2, 4, 5, 8, 9 might apply to the Musk/Trump admin efforts to defund international food and medical aid, defund US science and medical research, deport large number of people without any due process, persecution of identifiable groups, and ending in enforced disappearance of people.

Extermination [including...the deprivation of access to food and medicine]

x With the abrupt shutdown of USAID funding, many clinics, including those serving women in remote areas, have shuttered. Midwives are reporting that mothers and babies are dying as a result. — NPR (@npr.org) 2025-04-01T00:22:29.398Z

Cutting NIH funding puts my life on the line — and maybe yours, as well Private investment in pharmaceutical research can't replace the National Institutes of Health. Both public investment and the private sector are needed to be world leaders in health care. “This is what the people voted for” — or so we hear from the White House with each slashed program. But is it? Did people really vote to tear apart the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and lay waste to the nation’s scientific infrastructure? Perhaps you did, wondering what we get for our $48 billion every year. I know what I have gotten: my life back. The pioneering work that led to the drug I take for a neurodegenerative disease was done at the NIH, by a foreign scientist here on a visa. Without that drug, I struggle to write on the blackboard, walk down the hallway, or even brush my teeth. It’s not a cure, but with it, I can work full time — and pay the taxes that help support the NIH. I also know what others have gotten. A teenage friend died of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in the 1970s, when survival rates were about 25%. Now 90% of children with ALL survive thanks, in part, to research supported by the NIH. www.inquirer.com/…

x Cutting Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security will result in people dying. Cutting medical research and funding will result in people dying. Cutting foreign aid, FEMA and NOAA will result in people dying. A few cars on fire is considered violence, but somehow the rest isn’t. — Melanie D’Arrigo (@darrigomelanie.bsky.social) 2025-03-19T19:34:15.485Z

Deportation or forcible transfer of population; and

Enforced disappearance of persons

The Disappeared Tracker is up to 747 persons as of March 31, 2025

Deadly “mistakes” are being made in our name by by people who think that everyone outside of there group is disposable. For info on ICE story below: apnews.com/...

x “Although he has been accused of general ‘gang affiliation,’ the U.S. government has never produced an iota of evidence to support this unfounded accusation,” the complaint stated, adding that Abrego Garcia is neither a member of nor affiliated with MS-13 or any other criminal or street gang. — Dale Ryder (@kryton3298.bsky.social) 2025-04-01T19:15:31.811Z

Imprisonment; and

Persecution against any identifiable group

x She didn’t commit a crime! Lewelyn Dixon has been a LEGAL US resident for **50 YEARS** She works as a lab tech & union member at the University of Washington. ICE abducted her at the Seattle airport & is ILLEGALLY detaining her. We won't stand for ICE randomly disappearing our neighbors! #4The1st — Bock Sam (@bocksam.bsky.social) 2025-04-01T19:26:03.079Z

x A 25-year-old farmworker union organizer was arrested and taken to an unmarked warehouse. He is only one of several prominent activists to have been abducted by ICE in recent weeks. — The New Republic (@newrepublic.com) 2025-03-31T19:37:02.902Z

x Immigrant women reporting crime are now getting deported. This will leave their accusers able to continue to act with impunity... A woman reported a sexual assault; then she got arrested by ICE and flagged for deportation — Jenn Burrill (@jennburrill.bsky.social) 2025-03-30T23:14:34.662Z

But it is not their fault, because no MAGA has ever done anything wrong.

Poor little rich boy is having a sad—

Elon Musk Says He Has No Clue Why People Hate His Guts

In the midst of trying to buy an election, Elon Musk accused everyone else of being mean to him. “The radical left are saying somehow we’re stealing Social Security—like, first of all, like [stammers] I don’t need the money, OK?” he said… “So, not only is it—I’m not getting paid, I’m definitely not stealing money and would never get away with it, but the value of my Tesla stock is in half! So this is a very expensive job, is what I’m saying,” Musk said. Musk had previously whined about Walz’s Tesla teasing Thursday night, during an exclusive interview on Fox News, calling the vice presidential former candidate “a big jerk. newrepublic.com/...

Musk say’s he’s only made great products and that he’s never physically hurt anyone.

Oh really?

x Counterpoints: - Tesla has the highest fatality crash rates of any car - Tesla busts unions - He pushes for dangerous safety deregulations that’ll result in people being killed - His DOGE is taking away the healthcare of millions and fired over 250k people over the last 56 days. — Melanie D’Arrigo (@darrigomelanie.bsky.social) 2025-03-17T14:20:24.009Z
