The past few years I started to finally deal with the trauma I experienced as a child from my parents & then as a minor being groomed, sexually assaulted & then stalked by a female adult. No adults helped me with the latter. Last year I started planning a graphic memoir. Here are thumbnail sketches.

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."

Q: Is it your posture to put restrictions on ICE as a condition for funding DHS?
JEFFRIES: Renee Good should be alive. There was no justification. There are common sense measures that need to put in place so ICE can conduct itself in manner at least consistent w/ every other law enforcement agency

Y'all, delete Tiktok. I got a strike for saying Renee Good was murdered. Yesterday, I reported an account whose bio literally says trans people should all kill themselves, and they auto generated a reply saying that didn't violate their policy against hate or encouraging self harm and suicide.

In 2023, Astoria became notable for having a democratic socialist at every level of elected government. How did this happen? newyorkermag.visitlink.me/wXL8-C

Good's murder is a litmus test for American media. If they act like there are two valid perspectives on whether it was justified, they're bullshit and you need to turn them off. This isn't just an opinion, responsible journalists all over the world are reporting this as a murder, plain and simple.
