You know, my mother's grandmother is Native. One of the South American tribes. I don't know which one or where she came from because they made her family move so many times. That's also why I don't talk about it much, or do that annoying thing white people like to do (I AM LIKE 3/18TH CHEROKEE!)

The colonizers successfully split my mother's family away entirely from her blood. That's what successful cultural genocide looks like. And it all began with _moving them around_.

Rape culture

Sexual assaults on campus no longer scrutinized as closely under Trump’s Education Department ProPublica sued the government for records that show which schools are facing civil rights investigations — data that was public before Trump’s second term.

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

It only took them 4 years and 8 months. A UN Commission of Inquiry says Russia’s systematic attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity, concluding they were intended to deprive civilians of essential services and cause suffering. #Ukraine

1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

Amelia Earhart planned her 1937 Pacific Ocean flight from her house in Toluca Lake. In the '30s, she was a constant local presence, flying her single-prop plane in and out of Glendale's & Burbank's airports. A statue of her (with prop) stands by the NoHo Library now in her name.

Oh, OK, a slight correction. The NYT does have a PDF available. It's not at all in the actual report, however, and they hide it where they do post it:

Jacob Burroughs@maths22.com

Not that it's ideal, but at the bottom of the page of pictures they have a "Download the original document (pdf)" link that links to the PDF hosted on their servers

The NYT — having been shamed for years for not posting court opinions — now does so, but only with its enraging workaround of posting a link to a page that has individual images of each page of any opinion. So, here, you load a page of 55 images that are completely unworkable for any future use.

I will NEVER let the narrative stand that motherhood means an easier time in the carceral system. Not when adoption agencies collaborate with prisons to steal the babies of the 60,000 pregnant women we incarcerate in the US every year Elizabeth Holmes is NOT the standard.

AI agents are standing by, ready to send out your AI generated blackmail demands.

If she wins a full term in November, Fire Thunder would join a growing number of Indigenous women successfully seeking higher office across the country. In Montana, the success of these candidates is a result of decades of women-led organizing on the ground.

The IOF targets educational facilities. Israel wasn’t content with bombing the university and killing and wounding several students, so they bombed it a few hours later. Israel is a terrorist state.
