Sweet jesus I forgot about people’s reading comprehension going down the toilet on here and dude who I have been posting in support of for months has now dragged me in front of his following and they are jumping to conclusions that are not validated.

I’m not encouraging violence against ICE.

Thinking about whoever said that by accepting a meal from people and then arresting them ICE agents broke a cultural taboo that was invented by, like, the first humans to set up a tent

If you talk to any of the dolls so many of them have stories of sleeping with wealthy and powerful men. It wouldn't shock you that most of the men involved are publicly transphobic. They view trans women as sex objects.
O cool The hypothesis that the elite were trying to segrigate trans people from society purely to keep us as sex slaves was real, but only for trans women since they see trans men as undesirable for sex and want them eliminated which is EXACTLY THE POLICIES AND RHETORIC WE'RE SEEING HAPPEN RIGHT NOW

Can't be exaggerated: every bully believes themselves a victim. Even Hitler! Even US slave owners!

It's part of the psychology. There is no amount of power or privilege that can ameliorate it.
so I'm about halfway through my re-read of "the rise and fall of the third reich," world war 2 is about to kick off, and one notable thing is how many times hitler would start off speeches and meetings talking about how badly he/germany had been treated, usually by countries he planned on crushing

There was a reason my parents told me “Focus on school for now” when I hit my teens.

I was never a beautiful girl, and I was never in movies that sexualized me in in any way. But it didn’t matter. It was about access. I still got harassed.

The 2000s were a bleak, bleak time for young girls.
there were multiple different countdown clocks until the Olsen twins turned 18

reddit had its infamous 'jailbait' community online until late 2011

all of this shit was just out in the open, it was awful
I feel like maybe it’s a function of everyone online being born in 2002 but I don’t think most people realize how openly and explicitly pedophilic american culture was until like… maybe 10 years ago

The elite world Epstein traveled in is VERY small: Yale Law prof Jed Rubenfeld's wife Amy Chua, also a Yale Law prof, was the mentor of Yale Law student JD Vance. Ken Starr was the mentor of Yale Law grad Brett Kavanaugh, also accused of sexual assault but now seated on the Supreme Court. 2/

Each Epstein email has so many layers of slime people miss some. This email is Ken Starr, fired for covering up sexual assault, offering to help his former client Jeffrey Epstein's friend's sexual harassment charges by introducing him to Jed Rubenfeld, later put on leave for sexual misconduct. 1/

I love Snow Crash but oooof do I cringe every time I read it at the sexualisation of an underage girl. Basically as a plot device.
sometimes I'm all "maybe I shouldn't write that story dealing with the megaboob space habitat, it might be weird" and then i remember all of the sff writers of the past who built turboracist worlds and glorified pedophilia

"The third woman said federal agents at her hotel are subsisting on microwavable bowls of Campbell’s chicken noodle soup, because it’s become so difficult for them to find restaurants willing to serve them.”
I visited hotels all over Minneapolis, went into back rooms & talked to the staff.

They're afraid.

One told me she resents how her undocumented coworkers spend their days cleaning the rooms of agents who are “hunting down their family members.”

Alaska officials gave false info to American Samoans, telling them they can vote. (They can’t, due to having a unique status among anyone born in a US state or territory.)

Now the state is threatening them with years in prison, part of GOP’s voting fraud panic.

In a small Alaska town, American Samoans face prosecution for voting in the only country they’ve ever known. They live in a limbo, created by colonial expansion, that now confuses even public official...

A few days ago, Fox News was whining about ICE agents getting heckled at a Mexican restaurant in Minneapolis.

Meanwhile, in the town of Willmar, ICE agents had lunch at a Mexican restaurant, waited until it closed, then confronted and arrested three workers as they left.
