Matt Walsh advocates for mass murdering people with schizophrenia by convicting them of who knows what and then killing them.

This is political violence btw.

Alt text: Screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog). He writes: "My solution to violent criminal sociopath lunatics is to convict them in a court of law and then kill them. This solution would have saved Iryna’s life. It would save hundreds of lives every year. You can just kill the worst and most dangerous people. This solution has been deployed to great effect by almost every civilized society on Earth for thousands of years."

Below his post is a reply from notsoErudite (@notsoErudite) dated Sep 28: "The right has 0 solution to this btw. Paranoid schizophrenic violent outbursts require an integrated care system to ensure he has access to and is taking his medication. Any they just defunded school lunches. They won't …"

Bluesky moderation suspending trans people for wishing ill on the members of a hate group who are actively working to eradicate us shows us what a morally bankrupt crock of shit civility is and how it only serves to punish victims and protect victimizers. Bluesky should be ashamed of themselves.

Periodic reminder that because testosterone is a scheduled substance in the US, every single testosterone prescription in the country is stored in a state level database.

Please, please, protect transmascs.

Transmascs on prescribed testosterone are in so much danger right now.

After Hurricane Katrina, it was discovered that white vigilantes went around just shooting any and all black people they came across after the news whipped them up about 'looters'.

Here they are celebrating on camera.

Over 600 ended up missing.

Many of them likely shot by these organized gangs.

Trump: People were taken out of the spa, hired by Epstein… I told him we don’t want you taking our people, whether it’s spa or not spa. He did it again, I said out of here.

Reporter: Was one of the stolen people Virginia Giuffre?

Trump: I think so. He stole her.

Activating a national surveillance network to share with the police amidst a mass deportation push is comic book villainy.

Matthew Guariglia @mguariglia.bsky.social · Jul 17

Amazon Ring is re-pivoting back to surveillance, including introducing a new tool to let police request footage from Ring users again.

The reason they pivoted away was like...4 years of horrendously bad press, atrocious brand recognition, and hard pressure by activists around the country!

Amazon's Ring goes full founder mode, taking the company back to its crime-fighting roots

Ring founder Jamie Siminoff has returned to the Amazon doorbell business and is reinstating its crime-fighting mission while emphasizing AI efficiency

since it's the last day of pride month I figured I'd at least make one thing for it...

i now unveil to you my greatest invention:
color bars pride flag

An LGBTQ+ pride flag formatted in the layout of the SMPTE "color bars" test pattern used for broadcast television. The first set of columns use the colors of the gay pride flag, with the addition of the original SMPTE color on the final column. The second set of columns contains two pride flags - the pansexual flag horizontally, and the asexual flag flipped and horizontal. The final set of columns contains the three colors of the transgender flag and the two POC-inclusive colors, followed by the original bar gradient from the SMPTE ECR-1-1978 pattern.

stay safe! avoid kettles!!

HOW TO SPOT A KETTLE

Police may try to surround the march on all sides in a "kettle."

If you're kettled, they might hold you there for hours...

They otten lie about when they're gonna let you go.
...or even arrest everyone.

Look out for a prisoner transport bus.

If you see a kettle coming, the safest exit is usually back the way you came.

TURN AROUND!
