Not a cat on stilts wearing a trench coat. Definitely not a cat. Much less, a ringtail (aka the Miner's Cat). No, sir-ee! Ursula K LeGuin destroys JK Rowling's writing any day

Tbh, I have serious doubts about whether these goons even understand the distinction between positive and negative obligations in Article 8 jurisprudence.

Desperation. They hear the siren song of "if I throw other people under the bus I might be spared". It's stupid, but as the pressure gets more extreme more people's brains will switch off

Unfortunately for them, the judgment was unexpected and they are reduced to using that line as the government did. Actually as I know from a mole in their ranks we have had for "some time" they have doubts about their positioning generally. I recall how Germany list ww2 by overreaching into Russia.

I also find it very frustrating when the transphobes in power turn out to be babbling fools under any criticism or pressure. In my mind, I expect them to be 'suave monologuing super villain' types. Not bigoted buffoons.

Don't stop talking about El Salvador, don't stop talking about ICE, and don't stop talking about Palestine. Also, there is something particularly disturbing in Bukele, a Palestinian descendent, abandoning his countrymen to a genocide. The three struggles are more connected than anyone thinks.

The cool dictator is dead. The cruel dictator has been born. Lawyers and dissidents are arrested on trumped-up charges and not a pip from media locally or abroad. The most disturbing thing is how the country's diaspora backed this, unquestioning, until Trump did the same to them with ICE raids (2)

I don't think the cruelty of this can be overstated. He's an evil man working for an evil, genocidal government.

like i've never really been a strong "get the fuck off twitter" kinda gal but like, seriously, anyone who claims to give a fuck about security or safety in organizing who is on there is at teh very least, taking a kind of risk I (the girl who wrote the looting book, for fuck sake) cannot understand
