This is an obscene way for the NYT to describe the CSAM and non-consensual pornography that Musk's X enables users to generate and distribute.

You must understand this if you want to understand what we're up against: they leaked the video for *recruitment purposes*
the ICE employee pretty blantantly murdered Good to "get back" at Good's wife for being snippy. Homophobia, lesbophobia, queermisia, whatever you want to call it. That was an impassioned, pyschosexually bigoted murder that the state leaked video of for further libidinal reasons

I’m old enough to remember the late 2000s, when redpill dudes were starting to mobilize online
various feminists and queer activists and historians wrote fairly regularly about misogyny as the canary in the coal mine of fascism
I can still hear the crickets

He shot her in the head, then called her a “fucking bitch.”
That isn’t self defense, it’s an angry execution.

Hey #MeetTheWebcomic! I make Keeping Time, a longform drama that's ostensibly a band romance between former friends, but might be better categorized as an adult coming-of-age story where that self discovery is painful and hard-fought.

There are no rules, they don’t actually care about respect, decorum, bipartisanship or debate, and only pretend to do so to browbeat you into submission. Nothing is going to change until more people realise that and respond accordingly; including to the media and politicians who have failed them.

Since the infighting and one-upsmanship has started--people who feel helpless + frustrated turn on each other, it's just a sad fact--remember: you don't have to like the people you fight alongside. Your comrades will say profoundly stupid bullshit to you, about you, etc. Let it roll off, keep going

Stephen Miller has openly labeled anyone who resists ICE or the will of Trump as a domestic terrorist. And if that’s the case, then the government and its agents can kill or abuse you as they see fit. The right isn’t treating the killing like a tragedy. They’re celebrating it like a victory.

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.
The shooting is shocking enough but the government's response is off the charts when you consider that this incident is forensically documented on video.
