Pretty big talk for a guy with 16% approval and he's just tripling down on the dogshit politics that have destroyed his party's electoral chances.

MoJ considering ‘extreme’ proposal to scrap jury trials for all but the most serious cases
The radical plan from David Lammy has been criticised by senior lawyers, who say it could ‘destroy justice as we know it’
Jury trials for all except the most serious crimes such as rape, murder and manslaughter are set to be scrapped under radical proposals drawn up by David Lammy.
In proposals that drew a swift backlash from senior lawyers, who said that they would not reduce court backlogs and could “destroy justice as we know it”, the justice secretary has proposed that juries will only pass judgment on public interest offences with possible prison sentences of more than five years.

The only way they allow it, is if they benefit. It's about power and control, of mind & body. Predators have patterns, spot the pattern.
So I guess sex work is only ok if just tech oligarchs are profiting off it and not marginalized women or minorities who depend on it to survive?

Medical racism is a big reason why Black folks avoid the doctor. There are too many bad experiences with racist doctors & it develops distrust. Most of us have tales of medical racism. Then you get into community knowledge of all the times we were medical test subjects historically.

1. Yesterday, the press gave Gavin Newsom favorable coverage for signing pro-LGBTQ+ bills.
Little noticed, however, was that he vetoed one of the most important ones: a bill allowing trans people 12 month HRT stockpiles, protecting them from federal threats.
