A colleague at a previous job whose work involved handling reports of CSAM material and getting them taken down accidentally opened one of the images in question. He immediately closed the image, turned off his computer, handed it over to IT to be wiped, and reported the incident.
genuinely i cannot believe that i have to say this but you do not need to - and absolutely should not - expose yourself to CSAM material in order to “witness” the crimes of the elite.

this does nothing except make vicarious trauma, moral injury, and potentially places you in legal jeopardy.

STOP

the same CEOs who put out a nothing statement instead of actually standing up to ICE in any meaningful way? they don’t get to take a victory lap herev
We don’t need a celebration we need to abolish ICE and get justice for those murdered and for those whose rights have been violated and return our neighbors. Reminder the Roman Colosseum was a propaganda machine that enforced hierarchy and was a distraction from living standards. Stay focused MPLS.

The American right does not defend slavery because progressives say it was bad. They defend slavery because racial hierarchy has been an important and increasingly explicit component of their ideology for 70 years. Read a fucking book.

"electability" comes down to loudly insisting a guy is electable until everyone assumes it's true
Taking the bait set out by Newsome people lays the groundwork for the narrative they wish to bring into the primaries, which is that he is the frontrunner. Even his critics discuss him as if he's the one "the left" must beat. He certainly has some promising poll numbers, but it's still too early.

When you’re involuntarily committed, you’re seized & abducted from where you are. So no one knows where you are unless you can somehow reach them which is hard. I communicated in bluesky DMs through handcuffs & with time I could steal in the ward when they let me access my phone to get numbers.

What do you think happened to trans people in the setting of The Handmaid's Tale before they got around to oppressing the cis white women? Probably nothing concerning.

I just hate informants so much

They prey on your trust, your kindness, your trauma and your neurodivergence to turn you into a weapon against yourself and your comrades for the state while making you feel shame for not allowing them to drive you literally insane
I didn't know then that he was a CI, though maybe should have guessed when he kept trying to get me to fake my own death and skip court and run, but instead I did turn myself in and felt like shit inside bc my friend kept telling me what a bad revolutionary i was, a traitor to my people

That number 2 spot was well earned. That match was so awful my best friend and I had to stop the video to mutually yell about it because we felt it was a disgrace to the entire craft.

And very often directed at Black folks, women, and most especially Black women because these assholes think they've found a clever loophole that makes it okay to be racist misogynists on God's green internet
“We should be able to denigrate and abuse “big accounts” because people follow them,” is …an unhinged proposition

Note: people whose job is to scour data, know how to do so *without* committing a felony in the process. You, the average person reading this, don't.

There is zero reason to catch a felony CSAM charge while giving yourself PTSD, trying to play a reddit sleuth.

👇 this is a very good summary of all the anti-trans positions Newsom has taken:
There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today.

I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand.

There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

At this point this is what I have to say to all the people who still somehow believe that the current brand of pedophile fueled fascism "is not America."

So much of the rot in this country stems from our failure to fund public goods and regulate private wealth. In that context, people who need your money won't care how terrible you are.

addict oppression is a real and undertheorized, severely naturalized and pervasively reproduced, form of asymmetrical power relations.
While we're on the topic of #saneism ( #ableism) esp. includes ***people on drugs** they're called a variety of slurs and dehumanized esp those who are destitute. Esp those with chaotic use disorder. Are used to make the normies feel good &superior about themselves.
