NEW: CBP just seized an American attorney's phone as he returned from Palestine, despite it containing attorney-client privileged communications. …Here's some interesting context — this attorney is married to another lawyer who *just last month* filed an ethics complaint against this Florida judge:

Trump-Appointed Federal Judge Says, 'To Be American Is to Be a Zionist'

Judge Roy Altman boasts about taking '10% of the entire federal judiciary in America" on trips to Israel, and promotes his genocide-denying book from his chambers.

In fact: Voters: "What are you going to do about it?" Democrats: "Continue arming psychopaths in Israel, continue imperialistic wars, continue using Women's Reproductive Rights as a vote catcher, instead of GUARANTEEING them whenever we're in power, betraying our voters, AND hurting trans people!"

I scrolled down dozens of quote-reposts to Jill Lawrence' ludicrous post, & @geeanon.bsky.social's is simply the best! (Better than all the rest!) FYI, Dubya's administration paved the way for Obama's #NoWeCan't/betraying/pro-Richies/3082-day-nonstop-bombing one. And Obama's paved the way for Trump
Oompa Lumpenprole's quote-repost consists of only a photo of Michelle Obama hugging George W. Bush while Barack & Laura look on. Everybody's smiling.

@bombscare.bsky.social replied to one of my posts with a dubious comment. Scrolling down its profile, I find that it's aggressively wrong on many issues: racism, feminism, Jason Arday, Trans Rights... & this eugenics doozy, implying that Jews are more intelligent than the rest of us. BLOCKED!
Bomb scare posted 
Ashkenazi Jews are like .1% of the worlds population and yet have won 20% of Nobel Prizes. I don’t doubt that culture plays a very important role in that, but it seems likely that genetics does too.

I haven't seen the film (it was you, Jess, who brought Daisy to my attention: thanks! The rest of my information comes from Wikipedia), but I imagine that it might have juxtaposed Daisy as a victim/hero/survivor compared to Audrie as a victim 4 years after it premiered, Daisy also committed suicide

TY, @jesspected.bsky.social, for bringing the Daisy Coleman story to my attention! bsky.app/profile/jess... Also 2012: 15yo Audrie Pott hanged herself 8 days after being raped & cyberbullied. HuffPost named Coleman in "13 Most Fearless Teens of 2013". It didn't keep her from suicide 7 years later.
Poster of the documentary "Audrie & Daisy”, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2016.

The poster features  the line SHAME IS TRENDING & the hashtag #EVERYONEKNOWS

The 2-tone photo shows an adolescent girl sitting on the ground and hugging her knees in a school hall while other students mill around her at a certain distance.

Do their stories presage that of Michael Tracey and the Cornell 7 ?

2012: 14-year-old Daisy Coleman was raped. Her family had to move to another town due to bullying after she was doxxed.

The house was later burnt down.
Daisy became an advocate for rape victims. 
2020: Daisy (then 23) & her mother Melinda committed suicide.

Does Michael Tracey want to name and shame the Cornell 7's victim into suicide?

Michael Tracey argues that "naming and shaming" the Cornell 7, [alleged] perpetrators of gang rape - NECESSARY in bringing a civil suit against them - should be countered by naming and shaming the woman whom they [allegedly] kept prisoner and raped for 7 hours while she was drugged. EVIL SCUMBAG!
