and that's just the "nice" ones. The rest have gone full fascist. Sure, there are communities of people of color, of queer folks, different marginalized groups — and they're all cooked, too. In between their conversations, they're steeping in pure hate and can *never* escape seeing Musk propaganda.

Do you know who else didn't have beds? Detainees at Nohra, the first Nazi concentration camp. They slept on blankets and straw in March 1933. No barbed wire, no crematoria, no mass executions. Those came later. Detainees were held in "protective custody" on the grounds of a military school.

one thing the AI uptick has shown is that people resent creatives so much for what they perceive to be "not real work." and that means creating a narrative that people are overpaid for things they don't perceive as important/valuable, but still form entire consumer identities around.

Records only show two charges: capital murder and evidence tampering. Nothing for the violence Banta inflicted on the woman. In 2022, a man who drugged his wife was charged with felony assault to induce abortion and assault of a pregnant person. But here? Just murder www.jezebel.com/man-allegedl...

Jezebel screenshot:
We know Texas officials are capable of filing such charges because they’ve done it before in a similar case. When another man, Mason Herring, tried to end his wife’s pregnancy with pills in 2022, he was charged with felony assault to induce abortion and assault of a pregnant person. Herring’s multiple attempts were not successful, though the child was born 10 weeks premature and has developmental delays. He plead guilty to assault of a pregnant person and injury to a child and was sentenced to 180 days in jail and 10 years’ probation.
But here, law enforcement chose to charge Banta with murder—specifically capital murder, which is the highest degree of homicide in the state, usually reserved for instances including the murder of a firefighter, a child younger than 15, or multiple people. People convicted of the charge can be sentenced to life in prison without parole, or even the death penalty.
No one should end another person’s pregnancy against their will. But a murder charge suggests that embryos and fetuses are people, which they very much are not.
