Bringing the testosterone-fueled, bellicose carnivore diet to the mainstream, while insuring that Americans have the most expensive, environmentally-damaging urine. (Excess protein is not stored; it is excreted.) Where patriarchal equation of protein with dead mammal flesh leads us.

I deeply wish this book were no longer so relevant. But, gosh, patriarchal meat eaters just keep doing their thing. Sigh. www.bloomsbury.com/us/sexual-po...

Misogyny doubled; the act, the reporting.

Sexualized deepfakes created without a subject’s consent = “Racy”.

For a talk on "The Sexual Politics of Meat in Authoritarian Times" (in March), I'm collecting instances of misogyny regarding ICE agents & what they say & what others say when women are the victims. For instance, "f-king Bitch" re Renee Good. It's depressing as hell, but still, I want to know.

It’s not even so much about “sane” vs. “insane” anymore, as it so often was circa 2020. The fundamental split today is between the *decent* and the *indecent.* It is monstrous to desire, excuse, sanitize, whitewash avoidable killing even of one’s perceived foes.

it's the misogyny

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

thinking about how, in the Russian history elective I took in HS, every time a tsar was facing domestic weakness the teacher would turn to the assembled students and ask "so what is it time for?" and we would chant "stunning territorial annexation!" and she would respond "well, DUH, girls"

How flagrantly this corrupt administration redacted the Epstein files illustrates how flagrantly this corrupt administration has redacted the files of American history.

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

So the Epstein Files are:
–not complete
–comically redacted
–not in a “searchable” format

The Trump-Vance administration had months to recover from the embarrassing influencer binder photo-op and this is what they came up with.

This is what they think of you

For years, the guest list for an annual white nationalist gathering at Tennessee's Montgomery Bell State Park has been a closely guarded secret until now.

This doesn't surprise me, but it does make me sad. In authoritarian times we are going to see even more anti-vegan sentiments. But how will they get their dead flesh from cows when according to the NYTimes, the price of mammal muscle has caused restaurants to be in "code red" mode?!
