HD web rip of the banned 60 Minutes El Salvador's CECOT prison report - downloading right now (slowly) and will re-upload on my servers to mirror.
60 minutes CECOT segment. Recorded through my browser. HD quality. Not phone. Spread it around. If you're press, it's yours. Go nuts.
It's streaming on a Canadian website, but there is no telling for how long.

Trying to regulate your tone as an autistic person involves regulating your nervous systems and consciously thinking about tone in a way that (I think!) is comparable to removing a stutter

The thing about censorship — I say this as someone with experience living under authoritarianism — is that it’s rarely overt. The state cracks down when people flirt with the line & then folks maintain it. This 60 minutes cancellation of the episode on CECOT sent chills down my spine.

People that wear masks did not and do not refuse to enter society. Society refuses to accept mask wearers.

I spoke to the people who continue to shape their lives around avoiding Covid and only breathing ‘clean’ air
‘Refusing to mask during an ongoing pandemic is absolutely violent and it’s undeniably participating in social murder.’

Alt Text: Doug Ford, currently under RCMP investigation, panders to his base by wearing an OPP sweatshirt while pretending to pack boxes at a food bank instead of improving rent control, increasing the minimum wage, building homes, increasing ODSP, or helping in any meaningful way at all really.

Many late diagnosed autistic people don’t “look autistic” because if we had, we’d have been punished harder and earlier.
So we adapted.
That adaptation doesn’t cancel autism.
It confirms it.
You don’t “not look autistic”.
You look like someone who learned how to survive. 6/6

Yes, it's pages and pages of redacted information and that's infuriating. But ffs, you can be mad at that without making light of abuse. The vast majority of the victims are still alive and watching people "on their side" make jokes.

Nazi rhetoric but “don’t call them Nazis”
At the HHS announcement yesterday announcing proposed rules to ban GAC, they said trans people are "at the root of the evils we face" and are "a hatred for nature as God designed it and for life as it was meant to be lived.”
Just in case you thought it was about concerns for proper healthcare.

I find it pretty weird that the people who are the first to spread hate against migrants because "they steal your jobs and women" are the first ones to outsource your job to AI, and also now your girlfriend is a chatbot.
it does not require a super genius to predict that people will start hating you if you spend a lot of time telling them that you’re coming for their jobs and careers

The networks were afraid not to run Trump because they assumed he would use his office to punish them if they didn’t. The irony is that this is what Biden was warning about, a warning they chose not to share with America.
You'll remember that when Biden delivered an address in 2022, networks refused to air it because they said it was "political" www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/0...
As Biden warned about democracy’s collapse, TV networks aired reruns
Broadcasters NBC, CBS and ABC usually air presidential prime-time addresses live. But they found Biden's Philadelphia speech more "political" than newsworthy.
