Isn't abducting, holding and transporting someone to another country without charge, due process and a court order called kidnapping and trafficking?

All of these men are being illegally detained in a foreign gulag. They weren't deported. They were illegally imprisoned.

This is the face of fascism. Look at it.

Lots of talk on “law and order,” and “tough on crime” legislation, from both sides of ‘the aisle’.

Why?

As @prisonpolicy.bsky.social reports:

💣 Crime rates are *historically* low

💣 3/4 of all jail bookings are for *nonviolent* charges

💣 3/4 of people in jail have *not* been convicted of a crime
Prison Policy bar graph: INDEX CRIMES PER 100,000 PEOPLE IN THE U.S. • U.S. crime rates continue to fall, and actually hit a 60-year low in 2023 | The last time crime rates were this low was 1963 Prison Policy bar graph: TOP CHARGE FACING INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE JAILED • The most serious charge for most people who are booked into jail is related to drugs, property, or public order — not violence | Percent of people booked into a sample of local jails between July 1, 2021 and June 30, 2023, by charge type and number of times they were booked into the same jail within 12 months of their initial booking

Following a White House anti-DEI order, the National Cryptologic Museum covered up exhibits of women and people of color in its Hall of Honor. The NSA reversed course after former employees mobilized.

A great read!

'History is filled with examples of people changing genders or living between genders'

I recently found out about Margery/John Young who practiced medicine and who had two wives. Their story was posthumously related in The Tatler in September 1710 (attached). #LGBTplusHM25 #queer 🌈🎓🗃️
Front page of The Tatler, 16-19 September 1710. A letter relating the story of Margery/John Young is introduced: 'IT is one of the Designs of this Paper to transmit to Posterity an Account of every Thing that is monstrous in my own Times. For this Reason I shall here publish to the World the Life of a Person who was neither Man nor Woman, as written by one of my ingenious Correspondents, who seems to have imitated Plutach in that multifarious Erudition, and those occasional Differtation, which he has wrought into the Body of his History. The Life I am putting out, is that of Margery, alias John Young, commonly known by the Name of Dr. Young, who (as the Town very well knows) was a Woman that practised Physick in Man's Clothes, and after having had Two Wives and several Children, died about a Month since.' Second page in which the letter is concluded.

Did you know?

In 1968, 24 Black men in Pittsburgh revolutionized emergency medicine.

The Freedom House Ambulance Service was established to provide emergency medical care to underserved Black neighborhoods—creating the world’s first paramedics.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

ICE officers were in unmarked vans on community college campuses in Northern Virginia today.

They were reportedly knocking on doors of apartments off Rt 1 starting at 6am

You have rights. You do NOT need to open the door without proof of a warrant.

ACLU provided guidance, pls share. 👇
