So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.
Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"
This is why domestic "shuffle" flights between ICE detention centers have skyrocketed, much moreso than ICE deportation flights.
When you are moved to a different jurisdiction, you have to refile your habeas petition all over again. They want to wear people down so they'll give up on their cases.
Donate to the Wayback Machine if you ever look at archived websites, even once. Another labour of love for public good.

90 day suspension of US tourist visas and this is all over
The iron law of MAGA is that every accusation is a confession. Whatever projection they are casting on their enemies is a revelation of their inner selves. It’s how their warped psyches call for help.
Remember this the next time you hear Peter Thiel call someone the Antichrist.
gentle reminder to folks living in cities that are not under siege by the federal government yet:
please start getting involved with your local mutual aid orgs asap, even if it's in an "on-hold / as available" capacity.

*Everyone has stories like this*
AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.
Minneapolis uterus havers: if you’re bleeding out of cycle and wondering why, it’s the tear gas. Really, it does that

He shot her in the head, then called her a “fucking bitch.”
That isn’t self defense, it’s an angry execution.
the picture of the stuffed animal sticking out of the glove compartment just inches away from the blood spattered dashboard is gonna be one of those images that haunts me forever. even when your whole job is looking at the horrors on purpose and you get good at forgetting, some things are seared in.
Agreed, and the closest I’ve seen (specifically the research citations) is Inciteful Med. Seems promising to me. Short (2 min) demo video in case it’s of interest: youtu.be/3maUXOuRuAk?...
