We live in a world where rape is encouraged by: making it taboo, humiliating, or dangerous for victims to speak out; making it nearly impossible to charge or prosecute a man who has raped someone; and keeping the sentences for rape (especially the rape of children) insultingly minimal. Makes me sad.

If we were rating the new American Nazi oligarchy on a scale from 1-10, let's just say I wouldn't be TOO shocked to see someone walking out of a portal with a futuro-firearm and a mission right about now.

-- or perhaps jubilantly shown to a labor camp so that he can finally experience some of these human rights violations that loves so much 🥰

The Trump administration has imposed sanctions on the ICC -- the only global court that tries and prosecutes war criminals for genocide and other crimes against humanity. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Let's see all of this and more 💜

When US citizens (including disabled and aged citizens) choose to engage in civil protest, we anticipate that we will be arrested and we plan accordingly. When elected governing officials are kept from their jobs that 340m Americans rely upon and are *threatened* with arrest... they just go home.

I'm so caught off guard each time that I vacuum and then notice my cats looking at me like I'm that evil toxic sludge monster in FernGully and the vacuum is that machine that, like, slaughters all the trees.

You know why these guys are so willing to flagrantly and openly break the law? Because they’ve been doing it for years, testing the waters, seeing what they could get away with—and they got away with all of it. This is the consequence of no consequences and an injustice system.

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

Watching this on repeat how is your day going?

Musk / Trump *will* #FAFO. Space Cadet Supremacists will fail, because the social, infrastructural, and political conditions of our current reality are an inappropriate and unworkable substrate for their neoimperialist fantasies. Despite their reenactment attempts, this isn't the era they pine for.

Crystal clear. (Just like those Nazi salutes.) Let me add that, IMHO, we should not waste a moment of our time engaging with anyone who wants to argue about those hand signals. We all know what we saw and what he meant. He knows what he meant. Let's not drain ourselves in bad faith interactions.

Ever wondered why presenting more facts can sometimes *worsen* disagreements, even among rational people? 🤔 It turns out, Bayesian reasoning has some surprising answers - no cognitive biases needed! Let's explore this fascinating paradox quickly ☺️

I've got only one resolution. Stay focused.

What kind of art sells the most online? Landscapes. Florals. Local scenes. Contemporary abstract landscapes. Pet portraits. Figure studies. Seascapes, marine areas, including sandy beach scenes. Wildlife. My art fits into none of the above that I can tell so I may be condemned to Purgatory or Bardo

It’s #portfolioday ! I should introduce myself! I’m Karen and I’m a watercolor artist living in Japan. I like painting fantatistical surrealism with hair and flowers! — #watercolor #painting #portfolioart #artist #水彩 #aquarell #watercolour

just read a bunch of docs on the California DMV's effort to get Tesla to stop calling systems that don't drive themselves "Full Self-Driving," and Tesla's ability to drag out what should be a very simple law enforcement matter with all-out lawfare to impose costs and delays is so depressing

saw someone asking what trans people did to deserve all the vitriol, & nothing actual of course. but transness breaks the rule #1 of the conservative hierarchical worldview, that your position is to a large degree defined by your birth. choosing to put yourself in a different tier is heretical
