"They tied [Greta Thunberg's] hands behind her back with the Israeli flag and made her walk. They didn't give us clean water,they told us to drink from the toilets. We went nearly 40 hours without food. We saw mothers writing their children’s names on the walls. We actually experienced a little bit of what Palestinians go through." - Activist Aycin Kantoglu

"They tortured Greta very severely before our eyes. [...] They dragged little Greta by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others" - Journalist Ersin Celik

"Greta Thunberg, a brave woman, is only 22 years old. She was humiliated and wrapped in an Israeli flag and exhibited like a trophy." -Journalist Lorenzo Agostino

"It was a disaster. They treated us like animals." - Singer-songwriter and humanitarian activist, Hazwani Helmi

"We stayed with reverse handcuffs for 5 hours. When we went to prison, they didn't give us water, we had to drink water from the toilet." - Author Said Ercan

"When we showed our reaction, they increased their violence even more. They tried to keep us under constant pressure in prison, waking us throughout the night and changing our locations." - Doctor Osman Cetinkaya

"They treated us like dogs. They left us hungry for three days. They didn’t give us water; we had to drink from the toilet … It was a terribly hot day, and we were all roasting." - TV presenter Ikbal Gurpinar

So, uh, transfem!Jax theorists....

How we feeling about these??

Caine, shocking Jax in an electric chair, bringing to mind electroshock therapy--something used to 'convert' queers.

Jax, being so terrified of the people he cares for the most (Ribbit, Kaufmo, and Pomni) ostracizing him...

...because they discovered who he really was behind the mask he constantly wears...

...and thought he was a joke for it.

Where’s the outrage over labor leader Chris Smalls’ violent arrest by the IDF? – Struggle – La Lucha

Despite Smalls having been profiled by every major media outlet in the U.S. when he successfully led the union drive at Amazon, not a single major media outlet has covered his violent detention by the IDF.

Welp. So much for finishing this before the finale dropped.

But anyway, what if the circus fam got wind of what happened and busted him out?

And Lucifer hallucinates them as.... a different group of six.

I think that the discussion of the Alien Enemies Act is the most detailed section of my "100 harmful policies from Trump's first 100 days" report.

Whatever you've heard about this, it's even worse than that. This is worth reading from start to finish:

"[Anarcha's] torn vagina began eroding and she was left with openings between the remains of her vagina and her bladder and rectum. She was now incontinent, and the incessantly flowing urine inflamed her ravaged tissues, triggering pain, recurrent infections, and odor... [J. Marion] Sims acquired a total of eleven women slaves with vesicovaginal fistula from their masters by promising to lodge, board, and treat them, and he built a spartan wooden building, where he conducted surgical experiments on them for the next four years...

...The surgeries themselves were terribly painful. Not only had Sims to close the unnatural openings in the ravaged vaginal tissues; he had to make the edges of those openings knit together. He opted to abrade, or "scarify", the edges of the vaginal tears every time he attempted to repair an opening. He then closed them with sutures and saw them become infected and reopen, painfully, every time...

...Medical journals and professional word of mouth had detailed the inhalation of ether as anesthesia since the early 1840s, and Sims knew of this, but he flatly refused to administer anesthesia to the slave women and girls. He claimed that his procedures "were not painful enough to justify the trouble and risk attending the administration", but this claim rings hollow when one learns that Sims always administered anesthesia when he performed the perfective surgery to repair the vaginas of white women in Montgomery a few years later.

Sims also cited the popular belief that Blacks did not feel pain in the same way as whites. However Sims' own words belie him. In his memoirs, he noted that "Lucy's agony was extreme... she was much prostrated and I thought she was going to die." Sims' further obscured the truth in 1852, when he described the first surgery on Lucy, writing, "That was before the days of anesthetics, and the poor girl, on her knees, bore the operation with great heroism and bravery."
