It is unclear whether the highly corrosive and carcinogenic hexachloroethane, or HC smoke, has been deployed in the immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota.
It was used during the 2020 protests in Portland, Ore., following the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd.

So, so much of the response to Good called her "a mom," even erasing her wife to make her seem more like a "normal" Wife and Mother. Pretti also has a family, but I haven't heard anything about them -- just about him and his values. He valued calling out sexism, so it's worth pointing out.
Making this point quietly, I don't want to trigger feelings I'm scolding ppl.
The heroic tone around the way ppl have accepted Pretti was martyred as a hero and how that tone contrasts with the tragic mom lost her life around Good and the virtual erasure of Keith Porter..

The "riots in 2020" didn't cost you anything. It didn't cost Will Stancil anything. They were going to continue to ruthlessly murder Black people and they have. Donald Trump didn't win because of that and if your instinct is to blame protests for ICE, you're an op.

The pain and the outrage is correct and just and I'm glad everyone can see and understand it here, and this is also already what BLM was, if you argued for training, police reform or body cams instead of abolition this is what you sounded like, this is why people were so mad at you

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

"he's not really targeting criminals" makes it an argument about criminality

In the Emily Holmes' original "tetris can help reduce PTSD" study, what was found was that tetris is an activity which busies the part of working memory called the visuospatial sketchpad: imagining the rotation of shapes.

A single dose psychological intervention, which includes using the computer game Tetris, can prevent the unpleasant, intrusive memories that develop in some people after suffering a traumatic event.

we already knew this in practice - the purpose of a system is what it does - but how embarrassing for it to be an official strategy phrased like. first time in 14 years that the UK finally got it together to boot the tories, and you decide you won because the electorate *WANTED* tories? jesus fuck
This makes me so angry.
‘Hero voters’ as if there’s nobility in the most ignorant, brexity, socially conservative demographic. Ugh.
By prioritising their simple-minded prejudices over the country’s best interests and scorning the majority of us who gave them their win, Labour fails everyone.

What's cool about seeing people argue with each other about the best way to punish ICE agents for their crimes, do this versus that, is that the conversation is now one taking for granted that they will be held accountable and brutally punished. Not *whether* they will be held accountable.

In our conservative estimate, 41 percent of Grok’s images — or 1.8 million — were sexualized depictions of women. Separately, CCDH analyzed how many were sexualized images across genders and ages. Their findings: an estimated 3 million images, including more than 23,000 of children.

a dog walks into a bar. bartender reaches for the phone, but realizes that he doesn't know who to call about this. and, in any case, it's just a dog. he grabs a bowl from the back, fills it with water, and puts it on the floor. he is happy to have a chance to be kind. that's been hard for him lately

I was still speaking to my dad in 2020 when George Floyd was killed. I called him the day after and talked to him about it. He had seen the video and thought it was absolutely awful and morally repugnant.
Three days later, he was posting Candace Owens conspiracies about how Floyd was on drugs.

One of the core purposes of right-wing media is to rewrite your memory and reprogram your moral response to an event you saw with your own eyes. George Floyd died of a heart attack. Jan 6 was a peaceful picnic. This process has already begun
THERE IS VIDEO
I really do not want to recommend to everyone a video of a person being shot but there is video from multiple angles
why not cut the crap and just publish "this paper supports random state murder, it makes us feel good, kill kill kill"? same exact meaning, less embarrassing

@goodlawproject.org What's the likelihood of success of a legal threat against ISPs that permit users to access websites hosting mass roves of CSAM (e.g. X.com)?
This is OFCOM's job, but I mean in a hypothetical country in which regulators actually don't do anything to enforce law?

Renee Nicole Good was a mother of three, including a 6-year-old boy who is now an orphan.
Renee was deeply loved by many. Her mom described her as “one of the kindest people I’ve ever known.”
