So I'm an abolitionist & think we should work for a world without jails. When we point out elite impunity, the question is why ARE there jails if you don't have to go to them if you're rich & powerful, & they're just filled with people without resources.

it’s really annoying that the ‘defund the police’ conversation in the mainstream is only ever “should we have more or less police officers?” and not the “police officers shouldn’t be armed with riot gear and tanks and also can kill people” conversation

Just like the narratives around trans rights and racial justice, this framing constructs "activists" as unreasonable, radical and holding all the power.

Do you know how mean everyone else is if you don't?!

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.
It took only a 15-second clip of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt duking it out on a crumbling rooftop — made by A.I. with a two-sentence prompt and the click of a button — to draw swift outrage, and sizable fear, from Hollywood.
"It’s nothing short of terrifying," one scriptwriter said.

Why an A.I. Video of Tom Cruise Battling Brad Pitt Spooked Hollywood
A 15-second clip created by an artificial intelligence tool owned by the Chinese technology company ByteDance appears more cinematic than anything so far.

The City of Philadelphia really needs to take further steps other than to simply put the exhibit back up. Tie it into some public school curricula, host local conversations, distribute free zines on the topic. Don't just stay at having gone to court.

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.

Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Gender affirming treatment has an astonishingly high rate of satisfaction. You probably already know this, but I feel like we need to repeat it over and over.
This entire 'debate' is so maddening. We have been promised that a groundswell of rushed, dissatisfied detransitioners was about to emerge for nearly a decade.
Not only have they never materialized, but academic research continues to show small numbers, long assessments and miniscule regret rates.

This is simply Ring saying “we won’t create a new path to help cops get your video via Flock, but all the existing ways for them to get your video remain intact.”
And it has nothing to do with their dystopian “Search Party” Super Bowl ad.

If an increasing unpopular leader, known for shaping reality w/ lies, wanted to subvert democracy, would they: A) complain that the polls are “fake news”, B) threaten polling organizations into silence, C) sow distrust in election results, or D) find ways to disenfranchise voters of the other party?
Gallup announces, after 88 years, it will no longer track public approval of presidents. Trump's second-term approval rating fell to 36% in December, among the lowest ever recorded by the company. The president repeatedly has threatened to sue media and polling firms that portray him negatively.
