Late night boost
Hi, folks. Things remain really rough so I'm reposting this, as I could use some help. Anything helps, even a boost. Thank you so, so much! I can't tell you how much I hope I can stop sharing this.

We built Jikipedia, a new wiki that compiles Jmail data into exhaustive reports on key figures in the Epstein scandal.

It lists all recorded visits to Epstein's estates, each person's possible knowledge of Epstein's crimes and laws that they may have violated.

Marimar Martinez was shot by Border Patrol five times.

DHS accused her of being a domestic terrorist.

She went to court to get the body cam footage released.

It shows Agent Charles Exum driving with his gun drawn.

Saying “do something b*tch”.

Ramming her car.

Shooting her.

It shows DHS lied.

This is a short, insightful thread about the American justice system and what the Epstein files reveal.
As a former public defender who represented thousands of people, I can’t stop thinking about the contrast the Epstein files raise.

I watched 1000s face swift, devastating punishment for far less serious conduct — poor, marginalized, & presumed dangerous from the start.

Cis boy feels the need to cis-splain the history of transsexuality to a bunch of transsexuals, including the way we've been depicted in media historically. Bold strategy, Cotton; let's see if it pays off for him.

The anti-trans propaganda push is one of the best examples I know of real-world disinformation in action.
Part 3: "The astronomical rise in stories about trans people that I’d collected over the previous year told a different story. This massive, messy dataset was brimming with increasingly vile headlines that only seemed to metastasize with time. ... two years later we know how the story turns out."

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

I worked as an IP moderator in social media for a while, and people would sometimes report CSAM for IP violations (they would understandably report for everything possible in order to get it removed). I had entire days ruined by stumbling on one of these reports, with just one image.
genuinely i cannot believe that i have to say this but you do not need to - and absolutely should not - expose yourself to CSAM material in order to “witness” the crimes of the elite.

this does nothing except make vicarious trauma, moral injury, and potentially places you in legal jeopardy.

STOP

Ofelia Torres, the teenage Chicago Public Schools student whose fight against cancer while her father was detained by ICE came to represent the federal government's overreach during Operation Midway Blitz, has died. Brave young woman. I will never forget her. RIP.

It hurts not being able to consistently eat and to fail my mom the way I have been, without y'all and your generosity our situation would be way worse, which is honestly saying a lot. My fridge and pantries have been mostly empty for two weeks now. It's so overwhelming and exhausting for us.

slavery is one of the rare things historically where the more you learn about it the more you realize your initial assessment was correct and it was in fact one of the most evil things ever to occur
Physically incapable of analyzing politics outside of this insipid frame.

walking my kid through a timeline of the Civil Rights movement and i realized that the big moments were things i learned in school, but there was little emphasis on how much Southern states actively flaunted the law and the courts.

Imagine the VC, but it's the US's own infrastructure they have to deal with. This isn't hard.
The US military has lost against every insurgent force its gone up against in decades.

Fun fact: the best stats available suggest that the unemployment rate for US trans people is comparable to the Great Depression.

Another fun fact: the best stats available aren’t very good because the Bureau of Labor Statistics had never bothered to measure the trans unemployment rate.
there is an employment crisis among trans women and there always has been, but good luck getting people to see it
Still living this life after almost 8 months. A professional I know who works almost exclusively with trans people said almost all of them are unemployed.

Governor Healey has expressly supported this contract.

She is also positioning herself as an ICE opponent—see below.

But meanwhile her administration is fighting the disclosure of information of data about its contract with ICE. bsky.app/profile/mass...
Shooting people in the street. Ripping parents from children. Americans stopped, detained and killed.

Now, ICE wants to build a new 400-bed facility in New Hampshire?

Governor Ayotte should be doing everything in her power to block this. Enough is enough.
Newly released documents detail ICE plans for warehouse facility in Merrimack, N.H. - The Boston Globe
The acting ICE director said federal officials previously told Governor Ayotte about the economic impacts of controversial facility. Ayotte said the director’s comments were “simply not true.”
