This begs the question: what chat services are being used by men in America to promote the drugging and rape of victims here and how can we expose them? In Britain? Is illogical to assume that this is behavior is limited to French men and, as evidenced in post below, it is not.

“A new poll suggests that more than a quarter of Canadians — 27% — now see the United States as an ‘enemy’ country, while another 30% still say they consider the U.S. an ally. 2/20/25 torontosun.com/news/nationa...

STRG_F did a year-long investigation of the app Telegram and “…found dozens of chats in which users shared tips on how to drug and rape women, as well as videos and photos of themselves doing so…. One of the chats reportedly had seventy-three thousand [73,000!] members and extended internationally.”

NEW: Elon Musk’s team has descended on an already understaffed Social Security Administration, which now faces further workforce cuts and closures of vital local offices. The consequences could be significant for millions of the most vulnerable Americans.

“The public prosecutor’s office in Paris reported that, between January, 2021, and May, 2024, Coco was named in more than twenty-three thousand [23,000!] criminal cases.” The Chat Room Behind the Pelicot Rape Trial www.newyorker.com/news/the-wee...

Trump just fired the country's senior military officer: Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., a four-star fighter pilot who became only the second African American to hold the chairman's job.

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

Repeat after me: Singling out and punishing journalists for not amplifying government propaganda IS censorship.

Maybe if we start calling our body parts gun-sounding names like “revulva” or “shooterus” the GOP will stop trying to regulate them.

Anyone else concerned about what they’re going to do to the USPS? A contact who was a letter carrier posits that cheap bulk rates and postal worker delivery of Amazon packages is killing it. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

🚨BREAKING: In 4-3 decision, Wisconsin Supreme Court reverses lower court decision and DISMISSES voter suppression lawsuit. A big victory for our clients the WI Alliance for Retired Americans and voting rights in Wisconsin. Another stinging loss for the GOP! www.democracydocket.com/cases/wiscon...

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

Top two stories on WSJ right now make quite a pairing:

I’ll tell you what the Gulf of America is: it’s the space between the tech bro/oligarch/Christian Nationalists and the rest of us

This administration is a national security nightmare

There is no such thing as a humane mass deportation. There will be concentration camps on military bases, separations, assaults, sexual assaults, child molestation, human trafficking & deaths that this administration, Border Patrol, ICE & CBP will attempt to hide.

CDC source: “We just had word that all our fellows and post doc staff are laid off effective immediately. The famous Epidemic Intelligence Service, aka the Disease Detectives, is no more. That’s 1260 staff. They are calling this ‘Phase 1’.”

Boston scientists engineered a probiotic yeast to shield gut microbes from antibiotics without weakening the drugs. Their startup, Florey Biosciences, aims to bring this innovation to market by 2027. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

NEW: In a move that could jeopardize U.S. election security at the state level, the federal Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency put employees tasked with securing elections from foreign threats on administrative leave.

The U.S. Army and U.S. Navy have removed all web pages highlighting women’s military service. Weak men always fear and are threatened by strong women. I’ll never regret voting for VP Kamala Harris.

“I’ll protect women, whether women like it or not” — Trump He’s not, in fact, quite the opposite! He also froze the funds and had the DOJ’s Violence Against Women Office remove information from the site that supports victims of Domestic Violence.

The term for incapacitating victims of sexual abuse with drugs is “chemical submission” www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

"I spent my entire teenage years at war," she wrote.

“Mark my words. … They are going to basically tell the U.S. Marshals Service, do not enforce any of these orders, we will not obey them, … and, once that happens—I hope it doesn't … but I know in my heart that it will—our 236-year experiment … in American constitutionalism, is over.”

1. EXCLUSIVE Today, the NSA is planning a "Big Delete" of websites and internal network content that contain any of 27 banned words, including "privilege," "bias," and "inclusion," a NSA source tells Popular Information. The massive purge is creating chaos, taking down "mission-related" work

I've been waiting for someone to make this point as clearly as @pbump.com did last week: The entire Federal law enforcement apparatus is a part of the Executive Branch. All of it. So if they don't want to enforce a judge's rulings, or, for that matter, the law... then who? wapo.st/3CKnHsI

This is 1) psychological torture — already horrific enough — of 2) people just doing their jobs www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Vance is pushing idea that Trump is a king with unchecked power, not even accountable to courts and the rulings of judges. This is setting up the Trump administration to break with court rulings, creating a constitutional crisis and pushing the US into full blown dictatorship.

THIS is how you do it: 250,000 people in Munich, Germany, demonstrate against Putin's puppets, the Musk-endorsed AfD.

Oops 😬

Because DHS is part of the coup.

Breaking from me and @mjsdc.bsky.social : Newly installed AG Pam Bondi sent out more than a dozen memos in a 15 minute period on Wednesday. One of them told staffers to come up with "proposals for criminal investigations" of large companies that have DEIA initiatives. slate.com/news-and-pol...
