A woman who was shot multiple times by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents did not ram them with her car and had her weapon stored in her purse at the time of the incident, according to her lawyer, contradicting accounts by the Department of Homeland Security.

If you don’t see the link between ICE and the IDF, you haven’t been paying attention. We are being asked to accept a world where whole communities are made disposable and marked for disappearance. If we accept that for anyone, no one is safe anywhere.

wrote about last week's super interesting tribal sovereignty decision in Washington Supreme Court

one justice wrote a standalone concurrence basically saying 'the court applied the law correctly, but also the law is terrible and it's our responsibility to say so'

A Washington State Supreme Court Justice Condemns Federal Indian Law as Racist and Awful

"Each time a court cites a case that has as its foundation such racist fallacies, it is incumbent on us to call out that racism, even if just in a footnote."

Posting this short article until morale improves.

WILL GERMAN REUNIFICATION HURT TRANSSEXUAL RIGHTS?
Now that East and West Germany are being united into one country, the laws concerning transsexuals and sex change operations are being re-evaluated. East Germany scores higher on transsexual rights than West Germany, but East Germany's more humane laws may not prevail in the new reunited country. As it stands now in East Germany, men and women 18 years and older have been able to receive govern-ment-sponsored sex reassignment surgery, get married and adopt children. According to Professor Goerlich of East Germany, who spoke at a meeting on the subject in Hamburg, in two cases a transsexual mother gained custody of her adopted children after a divorce. Goerlich plans to fight to retain these more liberal laws in the future Germany.

Or how women get hurt and the descriptions may help women readers survive and may help men readers be more human in their life but it will not be able to explain what is happening in a way that allows change or even articulate rage adequately. If you do articulate it it stops being literary

A literary novel will for example contain beautiful insights or descriptions but it will be about how marriage is inevitably bad and life is pain but there is no real alternative . Or how communism failed. Or how revolution is impossible. Or how gay people die

“Literary novels” as defined by current production are about the system of capitalism patriarchy etc being inescapable. some authors are able to create challenges to this in the form of their book but if they are bestsellers it does mean most reviewers think its a bit

Childrens middle grade fantasy in the 70s-80s (which often had teen characters and was also sort of YA) was astonishingly original , didnt have to follow conventions of adult literature and structurally broke the mold, and taught love of reading in an u precedented way

Pulp paperback sci fi with attendant fan magazines was a much better format than literary novels and the problem w current mass market romance/mystery paperbacks is B+N and distributors pushing a handful of authors and no fan discourse magazines to make authors sharpen their blades

A student on TikTok has been documenting her journey with a professor who “wrote” the anatomy textbook and it’s all a bunch of AI hallucinations.

She’s saying that, understandably, the students are doing super poorly!

Behold what we’re teaching the healthcare professionals of tomorrow:

A diagram of the bones and (some) deep muscles of the hand and forearm. AI says that we only have four digits. It’s also identified a tendon as the median nerve, another tendon as the ulnar nerve, among other issues.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the neck. It hallucinated the “ennocleidomasid” muscle, and the “anterior scalpalin muscle”.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the lateral thigh. It says that the gluteus Maximus (the big juicy butt muscle) is on the anterior side. It also points to the quadriceps muscle and says “attattment”. It also says that the same structure is the tibia AND the deep fascia of the leg.

An AI generated diagram of the bones of the hand and forearm. This time AI says we have 6 digits. It also says that the radius is the ulnar artery. Among other many issues.

This is why those banking on the Israeli "opposition" convince very few...

Yair Lapid, head of Israel's opposition:

"Those who demonstrated against Israel in London, Rome, Paris... were deceived by propaganda... The truth is, there was no genocide, no intentional starvation."

The fact that top Republicans are already fearmongering about, lying about, the No Kings rallies this Saturday, across the US, tells you how worried they are about public pressure and protest against their reactionary, autocratic, anti-American agenda.
