Eize Basa@eizebasa.baby · 15h agoDO NOT ignore the warnings about the Perez Hilton video. If you think it can't be that bad, take it from someone who’s been on the internet for 30 years and has seen some truly wretched stuff: it IS that bad, do NOT look it up, you WILL regret it.

Protest in Portland, ME tomorrow for a MaineMed nurse who was abducted by ICE
A MaineHealth registered nurse who works at Maine Med in Portland has been abducted by ICE! She is an asylum seeker who is legally authorized to work in the US until 2030. She is currently being held in Boston but we fear she may soon be transferred to Louisiana or Texas.

Culture Crave 🍿@culturecrave.co · 19h agoParamount & Warner Bros antitrust trial is set for March 2 • Because the merger won't close before Oct 1, Paramount will accrue ~$1.3B in ticking fees, payable to WB shareholders if the merger closes • Paramount would instead owe a $7B regulatory termination fee if the deal is ultimately blocked
Paraphrasing: "in order for millennials to have a midlife crisis we'd have to have a sensation of downward momentum and doom be *new* or to have ever been treated like adults by our elders, and we just never really got that..." Yeah...

I had to code and pronounce a time of death on a respiratory therapist colleague. There's a memorial plaque for her outside the emergency department to this day. I wrote and re-wrote my will. I will never forgive these ghouls trying to rewrite history and deny our experience.

Important to underscore that private prisons have long been centrally important to the deportation state. That is why Illinois banned them entirely.

further reflections: the use of ongoing protests outside ICE facilities is pretty straightforward: interactions like this serve to disturb & defamiliarize the ICE agent's own sense of normalcy at a time when ICE's goal is familiarizing the public to the violence they want to normalize for us all.
Bill Madden@maddenifico.bsky.social · 2d agoThis is New Jersey. The ridiculousness of these cosplaying ICE Nazis is off the charts.
The entire point of "branding" human beings like this, whether a Jude star or other tag, is to racialize them by literally marking them to make them stand out as targets. Never doubt that when it happens to any human it is part of one single kind of fascist process.

I love the concept of going sailing on a date but no I'm absolutely not going to go fishing with you on a boat in the ocean even if I weren't a vegetarian you really gotta give a girl an escape route on a first date that doesn't involve swimming 60 miles to shore through a shipwreck graveyard lol

Commissioner for Human Rights@commissionerhr.coe.int · 2d agoDoes Europe still believe in human rights?

The Guardian claimed the BMA had "dropped opposition" to the Cass Review, as did The Times - but Dr Alex Robertson said those reports were "factually wrong"
Reporting about British Medical Association critique of Cass Review was 'factually wrong'
