Feds Identify β€œLeader of Antifa” The list they're creating says so, anyway

🚨 Documents leaked to me reveal a federal watchlist of American protesters suspected of being Antifa - including its supposed leader.

One Department of Homeland Security document says a 29-year-old resident of Portland "is the leader of Antifa":

Federal agents tear-gassed families and children today in Portland.

There are two approaches to counterinsurgency strategy: either you try to win the hearts and minds of the general population, or you set out to intimidate or exterminate them.

This administration has clearly chosen the latter.

ICE agents shatter window, leave 1-month-old baby, mother in car after Portland arrest Video shows federal immigration agents leaving behind an infant and broken glass after detaining a Guinean immigrant with no known criminal history.

In Maine, masked federal agents stopped a car that contained a baby, and smashed a window. "Glass sprayed over the baby’s car seat." They took the baby's father who was driving, leaving the mother who does not have a driver's license alone in the car with the baby. On video:

A Calif. teen trusted ChatGPT for drug advice. He died from an overdose. "Who on earth gives that advice?"

β€œChatGPT started coaching Sam on how to take drugs, recover from them and plan further binges. It gave him specific doses of illegal substances, and in one chat, it wrote, β€˜Hell yesβ€”let’s go full trippy mode’”

A USPS mailbox in New York City

A USPS mailbox in New York City

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules β€” mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The β€œofficial” date is when it hits automated sorting β€” sometimes days later

Which could have major implications for mail in voting β€” it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

White House Refuses to Rule Out Summary Executions of People on Its Secret Domestic Terrorist List The Trump administration ignored questions about whether it would order the killings of those on its NSPM-7 list β€” even while answering our other queries.

The administration is willing to engage in extrajudicial killing of antifa activists and others on the left.

AS A PROFESSOR, I AM ASKING

HOW ARE OUR STUDENTS SUPPOSED TO LEARN IN THESE CONDITIONS?

HOW ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO GO TO SCHOOL AND TAKE EXAMS KNOWING SOMEONE MIGHT JUST SHOW UP WITH AN EASY TO ACQUIRE AUTOMATIC WEAPON?

HOW??????????

A photo of a woman smiling next to a bouquet of yellow roses and above it a quote from her:

There is something so deeply disturbing about this:
Just the NYTimes checking in with ordinary Americans about whether the government killing people it accuses of a crime with no trial is okay or not.
That combo of quote and photo alone is some straight-up dark @stephenking.bsky.social fantasy

Those linking trauma to their difficulties were MORE likely to have used psychedelics in guided/facilitated settings.
The authors ask, could these memories be "implanted...while they are in suggestible psychedelic states, by guides or therapists overly invested in the 'trauma catharsis' theory"?

Story now updated w/ the answer:

"Three sources close to Pazdur told STAT that concerns about the legality of a new drug review program, Makary and Prasad inserting themselves into drug review decisions, and Makary’s efforts to handpick hires for CDER contributed to Pazdur’s decision to leave."

A college student complaining about a grade on a paper is not national news. Not even close. The details have minimal import outside the class itself.

Well-funded political activists targeting profs and TAsβ€”in this case because they're transβ€”with the help of elected state officials? National issue.

I Am An AI Hater I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

I'm about three months late to this, but I read it today, and after a term of teaching students to care with their lives about reading, and writing (and feeling, and experiencing, and creating) it hit really hard. Every single line.

OOF. That was quite a rabbit hole to go down. I used to be super interested and passionate about psychedelic research a while back, but had no idea how much the reactionary techbro influence had infected that space just like it's infecting everything else. (Can't say I'm too surprised though.)

Spent the past 2h looking into Neşe's claims and I have to report that I can mostly support them :(

You might disagree with Neşe's bioethical framework.
The following hate campaign launched by Hamilton and Andrew against them is disgusting beyond words.

Lots more details in this thread.

Responding to your other post - I'll do my best to explain multiple topics concisely. In the Ch5 vid, he references my abusive ex, whose full comments clearly reveal that he is in psychosis. He became psychotic while I was with him, during a period of intensive psychedelic & amphetamine use. (1/5)

Hamilton has used selective framing to dehumanize me, assuming people won't know enough about the actual situation to question his narrative. It's like the smear campaign about Hasan Piker shocking his dog. But the FDA finally backed us up: adverse events were not reported at multiple sites. (5/5)
