I had a short mini phone conference on Signal today. Educating/informing 16 #BIPOC youth attendees about the dangers of #OnlineSexTrafficking & what to look out for. I support legalized sex work. I support more funding for sex worker victims of predators & more community based enforcement over more cops. Cops are part of the sex workers abusers population. I know sex worker victims on Vancouver Island & on BC mainland, raped & threatened by cops. I know some relatives of Pickton, pig farmer mass rapist/serial killer - who were dismissed by cops for bringing up concerns.

We don't trust cops on this kind of stuff. They #dehumanize sex workers & protect their own cop criminals who harmed sex workers. #RemoveQualifiedImmunity #SexWorkersRights #HumanRights #MisogynisticAbuses

Not a single political party in BC cares about #CovidSafety. All of them have opted to go along with #eugenics #PublicHealth policies. Further marginalizing people like me, my Mom, every disabled person, every elderly person, every child & every cautious citizen who is still trying to prevent getting sick from #covid & other #AirborneIllnesses. We have been abandoned by every single politician in BC & federally too. This is government folks doing passive #dehumanization of us. Our lives matter even if they #dehumanize us by normalizing public health eugenics.

no. it doesnt take #generations of brainwashing to devalue life or #dehumanize a group of people.

its done by simply rewording a single narrative to strip the subject of worth, and then highlighting the visible as unnaceptable.

just like they say "#thehomeless" instead of "#homeless #PEOPLE", they take the human factor right out of the enforced conditions and make us seem naturally less than, or paint us as failures and fckups.

we arent. we are STILL #HUMAN, and we have been abandoned 2death.

#HumanZoos tells the shocking story of how thousands of #Indigenous peoples were put on public display in #USA in the early decades of the twentieth century.

Often touted as "missing links" between man and apes, these #NativePeoples were harassed and demeaned. Their #PublicDisplay was arranged with the enthusiastic support of the most elite members of the #ScientificCommunity, and it was promoted uncritically by American's leading newspapers. This award-winning #documentary explores the heartbreaking story of what happened, shows how #AfricanAmerican ministers and other people of faith tried to push back, and reveals how some people today are still drawing on #SocialDarwinism in order to #dehumanize others. The film also explores the tragic story of #eugenics in America, the effort to breed human beings based on #Darwinian principles.

And as a special bonus, the [DOJ] memo notes that stripping American citizens of their citizenship is a civil, not criminal, process so you are not entitled to have a lawyer or any of the other normal aspects of legal procedure like a trial that we generally think of as our rights. Franz Kafka would be proud.
