Cunningham is making transphobia her entire personality to parlay it into being a conservative media darling. It's all she has at this point and it's pathetic. www.latimes.com/sports/story...

This really is the fundamental toxicity of this technology that just can't ever be escaped; even if it wasn't the object of economically destructive hype, even if it wasn't being overdeployed in environmentally harmful ways, etc, it's like asbestos for the brain

Routine reminder that Bhattacharya is an economics researcher who has never practiced medicine and whose best known publication is overtly fraudulent. He has never done infectious disease research and has never treated a single virus or infection in his entire career. He’s likely never seen measles.

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.
A screenshot of an email viewed in dark mode with the subject line "Google DMCA Violation." The email from Google informs the recipient that they have received a notification under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that some of their materials allegedly infringe on copyrights. It explains the removal process, mentions that notice details will be posted on Lumen, warns against repeated violations, and lists one affected Google Drive URL at the bottomA nearly identical mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. It shows a search for the same Amnesty International UK resources URL, resulting in the same message: "This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine."A mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.

He was seizing. Ambulance was already called. ICE “released” him anyway, mid-emergency, so his death wouldn’t count as theirs. No report. No notice to Congress. Menendez found out by accident. 3rd death at Delaney Hall. This isn’t a loophole. It’s a system built to erase people. Make some noise!

Our house got broken into and the other tenant asked if they were going to dust for prints and the cops laughed. The worst part was the cops weren’t trying to be rude. They just thought it was so ridiculous to ask!

Absolutely heartbreaking letter from the mother of Alex Pretti, six months after his murder by ICE agents. How is it possible that we still haven’t seen even a hint of justice for such a heinous crime?
