We trace the history of psychedelic conversion therapy —from Ram Dass, Timothy Leary & Stan Grof to the present. As psychedelics gain support from forces rolling back LGBTQ+ protections, this history matters more than ever. www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2x9...

There are dozens of actual far-right extremists in the House GOP caucus, people who have said and done racist, corrupt, crazy things. And you’ve never heard of them. Because the Times and other establishment media outlets have never negatively profiled them like this. The GOP gets a pass.

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

That ultimately benefits the authoritarian regime directly because when people can't discern fact, many will fall back on simply relying on the word of authority. And of course a successful authoritarian regime has asserted monopoly over authority

The NYT is being disingenuous here. The AMA has *always* said that gender-affirming surgeries should generally be reserved for adults. That's part of why so few kids get them! The AMA reiterated this position and the NYT is characterizing it as a policy change. It's not.

Our story makes clear that Hamilton Morris & Andrew Callaghan's harm toward SA survivors is ongoing. When leftists promote Andrew Callaghan's journalism, they are normalizing a hate campaign that is continuing to drive harassment towards us.

When I described being targeted by 2 large platforms, this self-ID'd leftist threatened to join the hate campaign against me if he doesn't buy my story. Hostility has been a recurring default response when I've drawn attention to abusive dynamics, even in left-leaning spaces.

Andrew Callaghan's Hamilton Morris video targeted me w accounts from my rap*st. His video referred to me as a terror*st & incited his audience to "destroy" me. He used his platform to cover up SA in psychedelic therapy, which my work uncovered. When I reached out offering corrections, he ignored me.

Andrew Callaghan & Hamilton Morris mocking me with accounts from my rapist is inherently abusive and ongoing. As a small channel, we do not have the capacity to draw attention to this on our own, whereas the video that led to threats is on a major channel with a massive audience.

Our job is to make it hard for them to isolate out individuals and small groups that they can demonize. Our job is to support the people in these edge cases. Because every bit of pushback they receive makes it harder for them to move onto the next people they'd like to target.
