ah yeah, China, famously not using AI or facial recognition for any kind of surveillance
We should take people who say these things seriously and take their ideas seriously. This is actual no-shit eugenics if taken seriously. The implicit claim here is that things like MRI machines or pharmaceutical medications were a mistake. In the age of HHS Sec RFK Jr it’s not just harmless granola.
Look at this! This is our community’s reaction! In Leavenworth! In a town propped up by the military and prisons a group of comrades showed up and screamed at their oppressors. This is not over and we will be back to keep fighting for our neighbors.
This is an attempt to eradicate us through torture and the forced withholding of medical treatment. This will kill trans people.

In a past life, I did security work (insider threat analysis, supply chain, etc.) for a number of firms. I was never a pen tester, but I knew some to recommend (and could point out "Hey, this door is secured like shit").
I've said before the only "real" security is someone with a gun and/or dog.

The primary strategy conservatives use to convince white women to give up our rights is assuring us that we will be exempt from the oppression.
