π¨ Documents leaked to me reveal a federal watchlist of American protesters suspected of being Antifa - including its supposed leader.
One Department of Homeland Security document says a 29-year-old resident of Portland "is the leader of Antifa":

Federal agents tear-gassed families and children today in Portland.
There are two approaches to counterinsurgency strategy: either you try to win the hearts and minds of the general population, or you set out to intimidate or exterminate them.
This administration has clearly chosen the latter.
We discuss the flaws in Andrew Callaghan's journalism, his response to sexual abuse allegations, and how it relates to our experience as the subjects of targeted reporting on his platform, Channel 5.

In Maine, masked federal agents stopped a car that contained a baby, and smashed a window. "Glass sprayed over the babyβs car seat." They took the baby's father who was driving, leaving the mother who does not have a driver's license alone in the car with the baby. On video:

Drugs have always been a boogeyman used to justify imperial intervention and resource extraction in Latin America.

A USPS mailbox in New York City
USPS quietly changed its postmark rules β mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The βofficialβ date is when it hits automated sorting β sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting β itβs a clever way to disenfranchise voters thatβs going largely overlooked
@neselsd.bsky.social joined @subliminaljihad.bsky.social podcast to discuss Psymposia's "Psychedelic Syndicate" report and recent developments in the psychedelic industry.

The administration is willing to engage in extrajudicial killing of antifa activists and others on the left.
AS A PROFESSOR, I AM ASKING
HOW ARE OUR STUDENTS SUPPOSED TO LEARN IN THESE CONDITIONS?
HOW ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO GO TO SCHOOL AND TAKE EXAMS KNOWING SOMEONE MIGHT JUST SHOW UP WITH AN EASY TO ACQUIRE AUTOMATIC WEAPON?
HOW??????????
A photo of a woman smiling next to a bouquet of yellow roses and above it a quote from her: βIf youβre caught up in something thatβs very detrimental to society, I think that you should die.β Naomi Villalba, 75, Dallas
There is something so deeply disturbing about this:
Just the NYTimes checking in with ordinary Americans about whether the government killing people it accuses of a crime with no trial is okay or not.
That combo of quote and photo alone is some straight-up dark @stephenking.bsky.social fantasy
Those linking trauma to their difficulties were MORE likely to have used psychedelics in guided/facilitated settings.
The authors ask, could these memories be "implanted...while they are in suggestible psychedelic states, by guides or therapists overly invested in the 'trauma catharsis' theory"?
Story now updated w/ the answer:
"Three sources close to Pazdur told STAT that concerns about the legality of a new drug review program, Makary and Prasad inserting themselves into drug review decisions, and Makaryβs efforts to handpick hires for CDER contributed to Pazdurβs decision to leave."

A college student complaining about a grade on a paper is not national news. Not even close. The details have minimal import outside the class itself.
Well-funded political activists targeting profs and TAsβin this case because they're transβwith the help of elected state officials? National issue.
I'm about three months late to this, but I read it today, and after a term of teaching students to care with their lives about reading, and writing (and feeling, and experiencing, and creating) it hit really hard. Every single line.

OOF. That was quite a rabbit hole to go down. I used to be super interested and passionate about psychedelic research a while back, but had no idea how much the reactionary techbro influence had infected that space just like it's infecting everything else. (Can't say I'm too surprised though.)
Spent the past 2h looking into NeΕe's claims and I have to report that I can mostly support them :(
You might disagree with NeΕe's bioethical framework.
The following hate campaign launched by Hamilton and Andrew against them is disgusting beyond words.
Lots more details in this thread.
Thank you for looking into this & giving me the opportunity to provide information.
I can email you a PDF if you DM me how to reach you.
Responding to your other post - I'll do my best to explain multiple topics concisely. In the Ch5 vid, he references my abusive ex, whose full comments clearly reveal that he is in psychosis. He became psychotic while I was with him, during a period of intensive psychedelic & amphetamine use. (1/5)
Feel free to DM if you have other questions, I just posted a short thread in response to the earlier one.
Hamilton has used selective framing to dehumanize me, assuming people won't know enough about the actual situation to question his narrative. It's like the smear campaign about Hasan Piker shocking his dog. But the FDA finally backed us up: adverse events were not reported at multiple sites. (5/5)
