Memphis is “under full-blown occupation” by ICE. Here’s why you may not know that.

Community members face retaliation for trying to spread the word out, a lawsuit alleges.

Ice operations have moved to harassing folk in Memphis

[starlitbeetle]

From the article:

The case in Memphis also challenges Tennessee’s Halo Law, which criminalizes anyone who gets within 25 feet of an officer after they’ve been warned to step away. Task force agents are invoking the law against observers who are not interfering, and sometimes forcing them back even farther than required so they can no longer see or hear. “It unconstitutionally burdens people’s ability to engage in gathering information and recording what task force agents are doing,” ACLU attorney Scarlet Kim told me. [...]

The surge has not gotten much national attention in part because Tennessee’s Republican governor supports it—he has said it will continue indefinitely. And the Trump administration has framed it not as an immigration crackdown, which would get a lot of press coverage, but as a crime crackdown. (Task force officers from other agencies are arresting people primarily for traffic violations and crimes, but they call DHS officers when they encounter immigrants.)

Demster also believes Memphis has yet to grab the nation’s attention because people like him who want to get the word out are facing retaliation. It’s all part of the task force’s plan “to operate in the shadows,” he says.

I cannot stress enough, in terms of "the intersex experience", I am 'lucky'.

As far as I'm aware, I was not mutilated as a baby, and when doctors started pushing for me to go on hormonal medication as a teenager to 'fix' me, my mother simply did not care enough to actually make me go on hormones.

To be clear, this has not spared me from intersexism.

Not even medical intersexism: I've still been treated like a freak who should be fixed by doctors, and I think most of the reason for my unnecessary and traumatic involuntary hospitalization for "suicidal ideation" was the doctors thinly veiled intersexism/transmisogyny, so I do have medical trauma of some sort.

Which is to say nothing about the social intersexism, and the impacts of being malgendered, misgendered, degendered, for my entire life, by my parents, by my peers, by doctors, which cannot be overstated, were extremely traumatic and put me in very real material danger several times.

Being intersex has caused me immense trauma on a number of fronts, and I am one of the "lucky" ones, that should tell people about how intersex people are systematically abused and brutalized in our society.

And yet intersexism is regularly treated like a "lesser" form of oppression, like something that can just be brushed aside because there are, apparently, not enough of us for it to matter, or, insultingly, when it comes to intersex people in trans spaces, we're seen as a cancerous tumor on the side of the trans community who only get hit with the 'collateral' damage from transphobia and otherwise just annoyingly talk over trans people.

It's actually ludicrous.

My favorite category of government program to run across is "program you've never heard of doing extremely important work to solve a major problem which you have also never heard of." On that note, the US drops millions of pounds of sterile bugs over Panama each week in order to prevent a parasite infestation from moving into North America. Everyone say thank you to the Panama-United States Commission for the Eradication and Prevention of the Cattle Borer Worm (COPEG)

[afloweroutofstone]

This program had its funding cut during the DOGE cuts last year and now the parasitic worm they were trying to slow the spread of has officially arrived in the United States.

When a black person states that something you did was racist, chill the fuck out. Its annoying dealing with you panicking trying to dissociate yourself from racism. If you're not black, black people already assume youve said nigga or its variant at least once in your life. If they're interacting with you and bringing something up, its because they want you to stop doing that so they can still interact with you(if ur already friends)

You WILL be racist. You WILL do racist things. You have ALREADY done both. Learn and move on. There's no ideological purity you can hold on to, i promise. Proving you can take the criticism without making it a big deal and practice what you preach is better than any clean slate.

Be the kind of person black people don't have to gamble on. Shut up and lock in

the only thing i miss about g1 monster high that i wish they kept in g3 monster high is that in g1 lagoona called someone a cunt and got in trouble for it.

[takethistoyourstardust]

like i kinda get why they removed it but also it’s hysterical to imagine all the monster high-ified words and then lagoona is like Alright cunt!

[allegedly-human]

nonsense words such as "blorbo" and "skibidi" are outliers and a minuscule minority and thus do not invalidate that statement

[ninjasmudge]

ok i laughed rlly hard. like i know it was a serious moment but i always appreciate piccolo telling it like it is

[maxknightley]

"it would be so good if it was good" will haunt you but "it's extremely good, except for the one or two parts which are so bad it's genuinely kind of insulting" will straight up drive you insane

[maxknightley]

one has you making posts like "okay but if the author UNDERSTOOD the POLITICAL IMPLICATIONS of the story they were telling, and leaned into it, it would actually be a really interesting exploration of..."

the other has you pacing your bedroom at one in the morning going "why. why would you ever in a million years do it like that. genuinely what possible thought process was involved. was the writer possessed by a fucking ghost or something."
