NEW @ms.now: I spoke w Bernadette Greene-Placentia a bit ago about why she decided to come forward w her allegations of sexual assault in the midst of a congressional campaign. She said she thought she would be a “hypocrite” if she didn’t, adding, “Me coming forward is me taking my power back.”

Also, I want to highlight this part of the case for all the pilots and avgeeks out there. I’ve heard ICE is doing this with manifests from a number of sources, but this is, as far as I know, the first confirmation. Really shows the complicity of the pilot-in-command. This was an Omni flight.
In the latest court filing, ICE officials did not deny any of his claims, and appeared to confirm at least one of them, saying the charter flight's manifest—a printed receipt given to pilots listing all passengers and crew on a flight—
"served as the travel document."

Reminder: in his so-called "austerity" budget last year, Mark Carney deleted the luxury tax on private planes, yachts, and underused homes. #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #CostOfLivingCrisis #WealthTax #Inequality

Carney is cutting the luxury tax. What else is getting axed in Budget 2025? - National | Globalnews.ca
Other measures include a 'super-reduction' to Canada's marginal effective tax rate and further automating traveller screening at the nation's airports.

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

a little louder for the cheap seats in the back
One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.

1 in 20 Americans support white nationalism, or 5%, which is a lot but given the ascendency of WN rhetoric and policies within the GOP, the use of open racism to sell T-shirts and chase clout online as well as the tenor of WN propaganda since 2024, 5% seems low theconversation.com/white-nation...

The lengths that diehard white racists use to protect their anonymity include blurring a table's center piece and the random shit they put above their kitchen cabinets. Even in 2026, diehard white racists fear the social consequences that come with participating in a white nationalist group.

Haitian Bridge Alliance President Guerline Jozef said that Pierre Damas Bel had complained of heat emanating from the ankle monitor and needing to wear a sock between the device and his leg to protect his skin. She said when Pierre Damas Bel brought those concerns to ICE at an appointment asking for it to be removed, they instead tightened the monitor, saying it should not be lose enough for a sock to fit underneath it.

This revelation was met with horrified gasps among those in the sanctuary.
