So fucking upset that I spent half a year or so working 80-90 hour weeks primarily to get Lisa Brown elected to congress. I was in meetings with her every other week, I know she's been to protests before, I know she knows how this works. Utterly despicable

Apparently it was Sabzi from Blue Scholars and Common Market's birthday this week, two bands I probably saw like eight times each back in the day. Hadn't listened to this album in ages, it's so good.

Can't believe we have to say this, but tampons aren't contraband.
And yet in NY state prisons, body scanners (that COs demanded) are picking up menstrual products, leaving people barred from visiting with their incarcerated loved ones.

State Prisons Are Turning Away Visitors After Scanners Pick Up Their…
Guards demanded body scanners to cut down on contraband. Now they’re turning visitors away over their hygiene and medical supplies.

I sort of wish y'all took this more seriously, because this attitude is a reinforcement of heterosexuality as a hierarchy. It's an acknowledgement and understanding that it's not enough to "be with" a woman, or even to father children.
They define manhood as exploitation, abuse, and dominance.

Of the 1000's who showed up to protect our community members from being kidnapped only 9 were arrested and pretty much everyone who was arrested was from a marginalized community.
They also confiscated mikkis melodica and they still don't have it back.

I know that the fascism of it all is happening everywhere but it's happening here in Spokane. The federal govts case insists that the ice kidnappings of two local us citizens were "legal" and that people responding to a call to action from social media were plotting a "conspiracy"
The plea deal turns a potential felony sentence that could mean six years in federal prison and $250,000 in fines into three years of probation and a few thousand dollars in restitution costs.
Four of the Spokane 9 accept plea deals – RANGE Media
ICE protestors facing federal charges made a hard choice, but some fear a chilling effect: ‘They want to frighten people so they are afraid to use their First Amendment rights.’

This story is so much more than "people took a plea deal." This was a hard choice between fighting for what they believe in and what each person can reasonably endure. It's also a hallmark of our justice system to put people in that position.

People who support more police surveillance in public places often justify their position by citing violence. But according to the most recent literature review of CCTV studies, cameras are associated with "no significant effects observed for violent crime." academicworks.cuny.edu/cgi/viewcont...

There is a lot I'm depressed about. I have an amazing kid who loves star trek though and I am so grateful for him (not just because he loves trek but sharing trek with him is such a gift). We watched ds9 past tense part one last night, and I am so excited to watch part two with him tonight.

I have been researching just how hard the "new drug war" laws are/became, and here is yet another example. Totally abandonment of healthcare, housing, etc and just criminal punishment all the way down. "involuntary treatment" is just prison.
Law enforcement who respond to an overdose and would be directed to take the survivor into custody and transport them directly to a screening for treatment. But the bill also goes further.

Has been detained for five months. In those five months he has been denied allergy medication. He is allergic to fish which he is exposed to about 2 times a week. He is allowed to have his medication for a day or a couple days before it is taken away from him.

I think if anything, the illustration below has the box drawn too large. A 2'x2' box is tiny. I would have to literally curl into a ball to fit and I'm not a large person
![A "2x2 cage-like structure… [an] extremely small space that prevents sitting, lying or changing position" has dimensions startlingly reminiscent of those the Senate documented in the black sites. The major difference is that in Florida, the Small Box is exposed to the elements and constructed as a barred cage, whereas in Catseye, it was a closed structure inside the larger closed structure of the black site. And in Florida, the box is used as punishment. According to one of the Alligator Alcatraz survivors in the Amnesty report, people were put into the box simply for alerting the guards to someone's need for medication. "They were taken to 'the box' and punished for trying to help me," the person told Amnesty.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ppeviqlkqbe43bnysknlqejc/bafkreif3ce2k2g6d2flxo2ziygiitqob2phx5ayeuo3n65cqbdtmav4k5a@jpeg)

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.
