You now have a pretty good argument to just treat every person in power or with influence pushing transphobia, as a pedophile. At MINIMUM a pedophile apologist. From these emails to JK Rowling trying to have Epstein over for dinner MULTIPLE times, it's just something you have to conclude.

I know too much about what we do to incarcerated children in the U.S. I started and ran an organization focused on this for almost 15 years. Immigrant children are being treated terribly.

I can’t stress this enough. The state of 4th Amendment law is that the cops can’t force you to type in a passcode but they can force you to swipe your finger or present your face. Never stop using passcodes/passwords to unlock your devices. And consider additional code to unlock Signal.
The FBI was able to access Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's Signal messages because she used Signal on her work laptop. The laptop accepted Touch ID for authentication, meaning the agents were allowed to require her to unlock it. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It’s so hard to describe what this is like to people who aren’t here. The ICE/BCP occupation seeps into everything. It’s not just the horror of the big stuff. It’s the little stuff, too: helicopters all night, vigilance during every trip out of the house, guilt at having any downtime at all.
I've personally had barely any ICE encounters. I've done patrolling when I can. And my body is just yelling at me that it's wrecked.
Even doing a little bit is fucking taxing. Everyone doing more is a superhero, and I don't think folks who haven't been involved in an occupation understand the toll.

Celebrating incremental moves by feckless Senators while the reality of what's happening is worse than anyone can imagine is like Amy Klobuchar talking about coffee prices to the people of Minnesota from the comfort of her overstuffed leather chair in DC
I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

BREAKING: Federal judge orders Adrian Conejo Arias and his minor son, L.C.R., released.
"The Great Writ and release from detention are GRANTED."
"Civics lesson to the government: Administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself do not pass probable cause muster."

![Ultimately, Petitioners may, because of the arcane United States immigration system, return to
their home country, involuntarily or by self-deportation. But that result should occur through a more
orderly and humane policy than currently in place.

DHS doesn’t even bother trying to lie well. The man whose skull was shattered told the hospital he’d been struck by ICE officers, an ICE officer told hospital staff the guy “got his sh*t rocked,” then when it became clear how badly he was injured, they claimed he deliberately ran into a wall.

I think they're so bad that it's almost hard to comprehend. A problem that feels too big to solve given what we already know about these people facing zero consequences. I wonder how much of that is baked into this type of reaction: people bracing themselves for the idea that nothing will happen

So so so many people lied and discounted the brazen mass murder of Palestinian children.
After years of denial and accusing anyone using the numbers of duplicity or Hamas sympathy, the Israeli military now admits — via anonymous briefing to domestic reporters — that the Gaza Health Ministry's death toll from the war is accurate
