In 2014 Ohio a Cop shot and killed Tamir Rice—an unarmed 12-year-old Black boy—claimed self defense, and was acquitted. He’s out free without facing any accountability.

In 2022 Ohio a white man shot and killed Sinzae Reed—an unarmed 13-year-old Black boy—claimed self defense, and Cops won’t even charge him. He’s out free without facing any accountability.

This is what systemic white supremacy looks like. We’re moving backwards.😓

Those cars are Romania’s now, baby.

Andrew Tate’s arrest is a jarring reminder of a misogynistic industry still profiteering off hatred & violence against women.
Online Rape threats, revenge porn are dismissed as jokes, & disguised as championing free speech: In reality it’s a confession of crimes or an invitation.

As a human rights lawyer who has done extensive immigration work, let me make something absolutely clear.

Asylum is legal immigration.
There's no "port of entry" requirement.
There's no "visa" requirement.
There's no "first country" requirement.
You enter the United States, and you apply for asylum.

Because asylum is legal immigration. Period.

Period.

NEW: Elon Musk sent a Signal message ordering his staff to aid in the Twitter Files: "please give Bari [Weiss] full access to everything at Twitter. No limits at all.”

That triggered a frenzy inside Twitter, which was under a decade-old FTC order. IT staff refused to onboard Weiss, worried Twitter would be breaking the law.

Days later, two executives were fired.

"These guys did amazing damage,” a former employee told me of the Musk subordinates running the company.

This is enormously fucked up.

Per NBC4 NY reporter Sarah Wallace on the bird site: A mom was kicked out of Christmas Rockettes show at MSG-owned Radio City after being tagged by *facial recognition* technology, which identified her as someone who works a law firm involved in a suit against a restaurant now owned by MSG.

"I don’t practice in New York. I’m not an attorney that works on any cases against MSG," she said.

For thousands of years, fermenting beer was considered a household task for #women.

By the Middle Ages, some sold beer at English markets. Female brewers wore tall, pointy hats to be easily spotted. They stood by cauldrons & often had cats to keep mice away.

Sound familiar? It should.

You see, when male brewers felt threatened, they accused the women of witchcraft. These rumors may have led to some witch iconography we still recognize today.

Women used to dominate the beer industry – until the witch accusations started pouring in

Today, beer is marketed to men and the industry is run by men. It wasn’t always that way.
