“Looking to combat vaccine skepticism and mistrust of officials among migrant residents — especially those who are undocumented — organizers enlisted trans women to bridge the communication gap.“

This ain’t hard. We’re the bad guys. End of. You don’t get to bomb kids and medical facilities and water treatment facilities and call yourself the good side of the war. They are, in this instance, the good guys. Iran’s gov’t is protecting their people from would be invaders.
Not to worry I've been repeatedly assured that the former volunteer army guard for an IDF torture prison in the First Intifada is actually very liberal and also that the magazine he runs is very liberal
Any updates on the people she was with?
I dunno, if I were Jeffrey Goldberg, author of "How Did I Get Iraq Wrong?' (2008), I might pause for a moment before cheerleading another war in the same region.
This is disingenuous framing. The FBI didn’t go to Proton and say ‘hey, we need to know who’s attached to this account cause we’re looking for protestors.’
The Swiss gov’t asked Proton for a piece of data. Proton turned it over according to Swiss law, just like they always said they would.
My best friend’s sister, who CBP has been telling us different stories all day about, her phone just got turned back on. She is a US citizen born in Evanston. They said she was never detained at O’Hare after telling us she was, they said she was not transferred to Broadview, and now she's in a detention facility in WI.

This is happening with every single person DHS kidnaps. They disappear them out of state and then down south as fast as possible so lawyers can’t find them. There are thousands of these cases - they just aren’t citizens.
The crisis line for active duty folks is blowing up because people are getting orders to deploy to the middle east now.
I would run away. Half the people who deployed to Iraq and or Afghanistan are now disabled.

371 academics across the globe just signed a letter saying age verification as it stands is completely unacceptable.

We are now aware that people are attempting to follow us on Instagram and are immediately being de-followed. We are also now aware that many people trying to message us there are having their chat requests blocked due to “hidden word” filters. We have no such filters.
As testimony unfolds in the Prairieland case, it appears that authorities used horrific jail conditions to pressure defendants to "cooperate."
In 2018, when Russian secret police tortured political arrestees into signing false confessions, we warned that this tactic would eventually reach the US.
Employees at Camp East Montana are being told that the massive detention Center in El Paso is not closing, internal messages obtained by the El Paso Times show.
My story:
WHAT, AND I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH, THE FUCK?!
I’m not a big fan of the phrase ‘call in the marines’ but when it fits, it fits.
I don’t think it would take that many marines to solve this particular problem. Just by showing up. And doing nothing else.
fwiw, that wasn’t my sense of people’s reactions in the US at all.
That conversation is conflating about six different things and some hackles have been raised, though. So I’m gonna not wade further into it. Don’t think it serves anything.
Hi @itch.io,
I haven't gotten a response to any of my support emails in the last week. Is there any chance someone monitoring this account would be willing to manually push through my payout so I can pay my rent?
The ID is 214910.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Once you recognize the New York Times special “exculpatory tense” for right wingers you see it CONSTANTLY
Do you mean that people stopped wearing masks because they were ashamed of wearing them?
CNN is reporting that former Secretary of State and former National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice was seen entering the White House today.
Great—just what we need in the middle of a war in the Middle East.
I’ll even be angry at them, the gov’t, our medical industrial complex and the people that made people afraid of vaccines in the first place.
My anger can’t affect the way I treat them if I want to change their minds, though. (I don’t think we can change enough minds that way, ftr.)
If I, as an individual, want to change the mind the person sitting across from me, I cannot make fun of them and call them evil. That will not get their child vaccinated.
This doesn’t mean that I don’t also push the gov’t to make vaccines mandatory because we don’t have time to convince everyone.
Do you think people vote their way out of fascism? Like… come on. Look around you and figure out where you are and what’s happening and act accordingly. You do not currently understand who you need to be angry at. It isn’t the voters and I’m done here.
Im a historian of vaccination.
Every semester/year since 2015, I teach the histories of smallpox vaccination.
And every semester/year, I have had anti-vaxxers/vaccine hesitant people in my classes.
If I want to change their minds, telling them how evil or stupid they are isn't going to cut it.
This only makes sense if you think that once politicians are elected, they’ll go and do the things they said they would. They do not. We barely have any say in who those elected officials are. Without the protest, most will just go with the flow. Proof: See Congress for details
No wonder I’m always so fucking confused.
biden isn’t looking much better.
If any journalists would like to parachute into MN again, you might want to bypass the metro and talk to outstate/greater MN. It's bad.
Translated from the policy-whisperer: The integration of AI within the U.S. military-and, sure, the broader economy, but especially the military-will keep the U.S. fighting war after war in the Middle East to secure its data infrastructure. Our children will be sent to die so the militias arising from the Failed States of Persia cannot threaten Andy. Jassy's server warehouses in the shadow of the Burj Khalifa. With so much on the line, the AL oligarchs' push to make sure they. don't leave their investments vulnerable to democracy makes a whole lot of sense.
