Tbf it also exists to subject men to ritualized abuse in order to irreparably bond them to each other so that they won’t blow the whistle on all the raping

Meanwhile lots of recent stories about cops using Flock cameras to stalk women and plenty more about domestic violence and assault are a reminder that the criminal justice system is often far more part of the problem than the solution.

I’m increasingly of the belief that we’ve never truly left the Great Financial Crisis. Everything we’re dealing with today started there, and every excess and problem stems from the US government’s failure to contain or eradicate its causes.

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

it's really cool when cops decide that they actually don't have to follow the law to issue a dispersal order before brutalizing queer people and making 18 arrests because "well what if they disperse and we can't arrest them?"
In fact, in a “Chronological of Investigation” completed on July 22 by an SFPD officer who independently reviewed the case’s details and interviewed officers, Payne told investigators that he did not give an order of dispersal. Instead, Payne said that another officer, Lieutenant Conroy Tam — the acting captain at the incident — made the dispersal announcements from a car loudspeaker. 

The announcement is not audible in any of the body camera footage Mission Local reviewed.

Later in the report, Tam, too, told police investigators that he “did not give a dispersal order prior to the skirmish line moving” and the arrests occurring. Instead, he only issued a dispersal order after the arrest of the 18 individuals, Tam said in the report. That second order is audible in multiple body camera videos. 

Investigators note that Tam did not issue a dispersal order because he wanted to seize the sound equipment and “was concerned that a dispersal order would alert the DJ to move the equipment before they could seize it.”

Black and white / limited palette sketch depicting Sayaka Miki and Homura Akemi from Puella Magi Madoka Magica fighting. Homura prepares to shoot with her handgun, but Sayaka grabs her by the arm krav maga styley and the shot goes wide. Homura grits her teeth and Sayaka seems to have the upper hand. Large SFX text depicts a deafeningly loud gunshot.Sayaka pins Homura to the ground and looms on top on all fours. Sayaka grabs Homura by the collar and furiously shouts at her with all her might (no actual dialogue is depicted, you can imagine her saying whatever hateful things make your soul gem shine the brightest). Sayaka is twisting Homura's right wrist, trying to disarm her. Sayaka's own sword sticks out from the ground in the background. Homura grits her teeth in defeat, her silky black hair splayed out under her. She reaches out to grab Sayaka's hand in a gesture that to a trained yuri conoisseur's eye might look like a gentle, yearning caress.In a moment of weakness, Homura extends her hand to touch Sayaka's face.
A gentle whisper escapes Homura's lips: "Please..."
Sayaka maintains her iron grip, but her expression softens into confusion... or perhaps concern. They stare into each others eyes and share a quiet, tired, forbidden moment of compassion. (Author's note: Yes hello welcome to Sparkle's fanfiction hour.)Sayaka releases her grip on Homura's wrist and leans in closer. She cups Homura's head protectively and her white cape falls on Homura like a warm blanket. Homura drops her handgun and throws her arms behind Sayaka's neck, pulling her into a deep kiss. Their faces are partially shielded by Sayaka's hair, but you can see determined eyebrows furrowing in concentration. Both of them have closed their eyes. Sayaka lets out a quiet, elated moan. Image credit: sparklenaut 2026. (Author's note: WOW! Would you believe writing these descriptions is the most embarrassing thing in the world!)

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.

Portrait of Andrea González-Ramírez
By Andrea González-Ramírez, a senior writer for The Cut who covers systems of power. Those physicals, Maria explains, are usually perfunctory: “Like, Are you walking normally? Are you lightheaded? I have never had to take any clothes off. I’ve never felt uncomfortable or violated.” If IL26-638 were to pass and Maria were still in school, she says she would likely drop out of her team. (We’re withholding Maria’s real name to protect her privacy.) “I honestly don’t know if I would be able to do these tests,” she adds. “It would also make me question, If I do it, are all my teammates going to too? Or would I just play with the three or four girls who are willing to or have access to do it?”
