Abolish ICE is the moderate position.

From Kate Manne’s newsletter

Content warning: child sexual abuse, misogyny

"You can see how Japanese school girls are used as a special unit of something." So wrote Joichi ("Joi") Ito in 2013, to Jeffrey Epstein, at the beginning of their relationship. He linked to a YouTube video with disturbing, quasi-satirical content - a girl encased in robotic limbs, and a man ("Scarface Santoro") in his forties or fifties who acts as the narrator. He is advertising "the first commercial product of its kind" with a face covered in deep, fresh gashes (possibly from the girl, whose robotic hands feature long talons).

Ultimately, he acts as her "lover" and they move to kiss, separated by a transparent plastic canopy. "As you can see, the large canopy fully uses its ability to make the girl appear cute. This is another great advantage of using the powered jacket," says the narrator, contrasting the "cute" girl with the grumpy visage of the same child actor, a "typical high school girl." "Smile!" is the last step in donning the powered jacket. (Developed by Sagawa Electronics, and retailing for over $100k, this was actually a real product based on a Manga comic.)

A searing start to @katemanne.bsky.social’s righteous denunciation of former MIT and current Chiba Tech president Joi Ito for his longstanding support of, and masturbatory connivance with, Jeffrey Epstein.

@reuters.com story on Estefany Maria Rodriguez Flores. She is the Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

ICE has her now.

Editor’s Note | ICE’s Disregard for Human Life Echoes America’s Bipartisan Racist History Assistant Editor Kevin Edwards writes that ICE has done serious harm to citizens and noncitizens alike.

OPINION: "Actions speak louder than words, and the aggressive actions of ICE as an institution indicate a wanton disregard for human life," Kevin Edwards writes.

I would prefer not to be a citizen of a rogue murder state that scoffs at international law, world opinion, our own constitution, and the basic norms of military engagement. I don’t feel like that’s such a huge ask.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

Scotland has essentially eradicated cervical cancer among the younger, vaccinated generations.

It’s a medical miracle - the scientists behind it are wonderful humans.

I still don’t understand the purpose of brainwashing Americans into dying in multiple, horrible, avoidable ways.

Cervical cancer rates higher in states with low HPV vaccination rates

RFK Jr *lies* when he says cervical cancer risk is increased in women who get the HPV vaccine.

New study: "States with high vaccination rates have seen the biggest drop in cervical cancer, while states with low vaccination rates have had little to no progress"

And it's not just cervical cancer it can prevent. It can also prevent oral cancer, which is often caused by HPV.

really one of the strangest media cycles in history, where mainstream media actively hid the fact that the columbine killers were popular upper class preppy kids with full on neo-nazi ideologies and instead pretended they were victims of bullying

world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.

So let’s think about this.

A private company refused - on principle - to yield to the government’s demands.

The government then cancelled its contracts with the company and has set about destroying it

we've shipped out 984,000 whistles pretty much entirely driven by this website, and sent about $25-30k worth of requested supplies to the twin cities on top of it, AND we've begun bulk buying red cards for various immigrant rights groups.

bluesky gets shit done.

I had to doublecheck and, yes, the CEO of CoreCivic is Patrick Swindle.

Henceforth, all contracts for the concentration camps shall be known as "Swindle swindles." Please contact your elected representatives and demand they use this updated terminology at every opportunity.

Here’s a thought for James Comer.

There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton.

It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein.

You know, just to see what she knows.
