It's time to learn from the NIMBYs among us
Where negotiations for facilities are underway, fight the leases, fight the purchases of the facility by getting the word out on the ground and demanding response from elected officials at every level. Use the example of accommodations made for Mississippi to demand similar treatment. As I noted, red-state residents have particular leverage here, because Republican officials are the ones most likely to be heard by the administration. Address the infrastructure problems large camps create, and ask your representatives they they want the name of the town to become infamous in history for being the next Dachau, the next Vorkuta—the site of a concentration camp, joining a terrible league of cities worldwide.

It's funny when right-wingers are stupid enough to just outright say "I don't want to think about social structures, I prefer to ask if everyone is individually evil"

You gave the game away, dummy!!

Oh my god! She admit it! She won't do any analysis of patriarchy because... she doesn't want to do any analysis of social structures. (So goes any analysis of social systems!) She'll just deal with individual, interpersonal relations: 'mutual respect' (what does that mean?!).

Incredible!
Some want to dismantle this nebulous thing called 'patriarchy' altogether. I increasingly think that we need to think less in terms of structures (and patriarchy would be one such structure), and much more in terms of mutual respect. About how we get along day-to-day rather than in terms of vast, oppressive systems, whose image only makes us all more powerless. Men and women are different, but we have forgotten how, and there are always new ways of understanding these differences, but neglecting them altogether reveals the absence of a common understanding of who we are, as a whole.

Margot Robbie Recalls Male Co-Star Suggesting She “Eat Less” By Gifting Weight Loss Book: “I Was Like, F*** You, Dude”
Emerald Fennell‘s feature take on “Wuthering Heights,” starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, is heading to theaters this week. The actress is doing the press rounds and recently did an interview for Complex (via Entertainment Weekly) that was hosted by Charli XCX (the popular musician also appears in the romantic drama), where she revealed an extremely rude male co-star advised her to “eat less” with a very overt gift, a weight loss book.

Under no circumstances do you "gotta hand it to" the NYP, but you have to admit it's pretty ballsy to use "unhinged" while technically never saying that it's false (because it's not)
Article by the New York Post Unhinged San Diego teacher fired after saying Israelis ‘steal livers and kidneys and eyeballs’ By Zain Khan Published Feb. 9, 2026, 2:20 p.m. ET 368 Comments An unhinged San Diego special education teacher was fired after posting a video on Feb. 3 in which she claimed that Israel steals “livers and kidneys and eyeballs,” following pressure from members of the local Jewish community. Nasreen Atassi is no longer employed by the San Diego Unified School District, the district confirmed to The California Post when asked about claims she had been fired reported by The Jerusalem Post after posting the video. Article by The Guardian from 16+ years ago: Doctor admits Israeli pathologists harvested organs without consent This article is more than 16 years old Israel has admitted pathologists harvested organs from dead Palestinians, and others, without the consent of their families – a practice it said ended in the 1990s – it emerged at the weekend. The admission, by the former head of the country's forensic institute, followed a furious row prompted by a Swedish newspaper reporting that Israel was killing Palestinians in order to use their organs – a charge that Israel denied and called "antisemitic". The revelation, in a television documentary, is likely to generate anger in the Arab and Muslim world and reinforce sinister stereotypes of Israel and its attitude to Palestinians. Iran's state-run Press TV tonight reported the story, illustrated with photographs of dead or badly injured Palestinians. Ahmed Tibi, an Israeli Arab MP, said the report incriminated the Israeli army. The story emerged in an interview with Dr Yehuda Hiss, former head of the Abu Kabir forensic institute near Tel Aviv. The interview was conducted in 2000 by an American academic who released it because of the row between Israel and Sweden over a report in the Stockholm newspaper Aftonbladet. Channel 2 TV reported that in the 1990s, specialists at Abu Kabir harvested skin, corneas, heart valves and bones from the bodies of Israeli soldiers, Israeli citizens, Palestinians and foreign workers, often without permission

What's kinda funny is that immediately after the International Order was irrevocably revealed to be a farce, it is now revealed that domestic justice is also undeniably a farce, all at the same time that AI fakes are getting good, and none of this is as related as you'd expect

The White House just sent a "Don't Panic" email. That'll do it
Don’t Be a Panican. We’re Winning — and We’re Not Slowing Down. Under President Donald J. Trump’s leadership, this Administration is smashing through the chaos and destruction left by Democrats and unleashing the most aggressive pursuit of the America First agenda in history. While the Fake News and Radical Left collude to distract, depress, and divide, they’re simply lying to mask the undeniable truth: America is safer, stronger, richer, and more secure than at any point in decades. Don’t take the bait. New victories pour in daily as President Trump delivers on his promises and rebuilds the foundation for long-term success in the greatest nation on Earth. Here are a few things to celebrate from just the past few days:

in the 2024 election the libertarian party leadership straight up ditched their own candidate chase oliver & openly said they just wanted to use him in order to elect trump
Libertarian leadership abandons their own candidate for Trump Since then, McArdle and other Libertarians have been more explicit about their once-tacit hope fora second Trump term. In an episode of the Decentralized Revolution podcast published in late October, she celebrated Oliver for siphoning votes from Democrats specificaly. think he's done a fantastic job of helping Donald Trump get elected, it couldn't have been better." she said. During the same podcast, she said she was in talks with Trump and his team before, during and after the convention, and gave him notes on how to appeal to the libertarian electorate. "The Trump campaign reached out to me almost a year ago at this point, and they basically said, 'we want your votes, we want your endorsement, we want your support. What do we get, what can we do to get that?" she said. During what she called a 45-minute "surprise phone call" with Trump, MCArdle who initially agreed to be interviewed by KBIA but canceled at the time of the interview and did not respond to further requests for comment said the former president asked for her endorsement. was like can't give you a flat-out endorsement. I'm the chair of a competing political party. But can tell you what can do, and can tell you how to win the libertarian, the small vote" she said, referring to voters who aren't necessarily part of the party, but support its policies of limiting government intervention in Americans' lives. In an interview with KBIA, Oliver said he isn't on board with that strategy. hope that in the future, no Libertarian candidate for president ever has to go through that, where they have a hostile co-opted leadership trying to be in the tank for one party or the other."

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

As we all collectively burn in righteous fury at innocent people forced to lie in feces, when this is all over we must remember one thing:

Every person who dismissed prisoners' human rights bc "prison is a punishment" helped normalise this. Everyone who said "it's not a vacation" is an accessory.
