How Trump's campaign of hatred against migrant "invaders" is fueling potential violence "There's nothing normal about any of this."

Reminder: Six years ago today, a gunman motivated by hatred of immigrants carried out a horrific massacre in Texas. The demagoguery and ideology he cited had been pushed heavily by Donald Trump. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Applebaum writes for the Atlantic. So what does this even mean, really?

Do people even remotely realize how many Trump voters made their choice based on their hatred of โ€œcancel culture,โ€ and that this wouldnโ€™t be the case if it werenโ€™t for the moral panic stirred by the mainstream media?

I recently attended a funeral where an AI wrote and delivered a eulogy from the POV of the deceased and even used her voice, reading it aloud to mourners. It was profoundly unpleasant and the eulogy often made no sense.

Constantly pointing out that the regime is corrupt doesn't do anything. You have to tell people what you plan to do about said corruption. But again, there's no opposition party so we're left with simple narration.

Itโ€™s so weird when a coastal shark sighting makes headlines. Like, thatโ€™s their home. It would be news if one strolled into a casino.

Yes, and itโ€™s one of the reasons they escalate too; itโ€™s an attempt to desensitize themselves to the violence theyโ€™re inflicting

I had an abuser who would threaten to end both of our lives when he was under stress. He would also threaten to unalive co-workers who made him angry. No one took me seriously when I reported him because he was such a โ€œwell-likedโ€ guy.

I'd suspect an editor would be scared of putting IPV stories on the front page because that would be a lot of cops being found out.

IPV is political violence and the most common form of terrorism. But because itโ€™s also one of the deadliest forms of gender based violence foundational to patriarchy, it must be treated as romance gone sideways.

Two sisters in DCF custody since mother was detained by ICE in May in Worcester are missing, officials say - The Boston Globe The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has released a missing poster of both sisters to help in the search.

Do you remember the horrific abduction in Worcester, MA where protestors clashed with ICE as they ripped a woman away from her family? The horror continues.

The womanโ€™s 13 and 17 year old daughters were placed in foster care. They are now both missing. 1/

If you feel the weather in your bones, this might be why Meteoropathy is an emerging field that studies physiological reactions to environmental changes, especially barometric shifts.

Some people feel the weather in their bones. A storm rolls in and so do headaches.

For years, this phenomenon was dismissed as imagination or coincidence.

Now, with sharper tools and more data, researchers are taking weather-related symptoms seriously.

Itโ€™s amazing how many of the arguments that boys are oppressed boil down to:

โ€œNot all boys are doing better than all girls, so we need to take away things from girls or the myth of male supremacy might finally crumble.โ€

The *cities* conversation is a proxy for racism. I think people should stop pretending they don't know this. YEARS ago, I said that "woke" conversations were a REACTIONARY TRAP and to look with suspicion especially on the white people who used the term. I was 1000% vindicated in this.

A Teen Was Detained at Alligator Alcatraz. Could They Be the First of Many? It comes after weeks of uncertainty around how minors would fit into Florida's immigration crackdown.

new @teenvogue.com: Florida officials claimed they wouldn't hold minors in mosquito- and sewage-ridden Alligator Alcatraz, but a bombshell report in July found a 15-year-old was detained there in July. young people in Florida are afraid.

Also weโ€™re talking about

โ€œWhy canโ€™t men get laidโ€

But everything punishes women for getting laid or wanting to be sexual in any way

So like

A lot of women LEAVE leftist spaces and social movements due to the prioritization of male sexual conquest and rampant sexual harassment. This is so disingenuous.

Bush Lawyersโ€™ Legal Arguments for Guantรกnamo Bay Paved the Way for CECOT The Bush administration denied prisoners the right to due process. Now, Trump is doing the same.

After months of outrage, 252 Venezuelans sent from the U.S. to a prison in El Salvador have finally been released. Trump used legal frameworks established by the Bush administration during the so-called โ€œwar on terrorโ€ to justify his deportation strategy.
