Ricki Yasha TarrIn the 90's, a full grown man who was pretending to be a doctor, wrote a book called Men Are From Mars, and Women Are From Venus. The book simply stated that women are emotional, and men are rational, while writing about his downright abusive irrational treatment of his own wife, and somehow this was a best seller.

b9AcEThe far-right/right wing government of Finland has launched a proposal whereby people that couldn't be sentenced to lifetime imprisonment because that sentencing isn't applicable to that act would still be imprisoned for the rest of their lives if they are somehow deemed "dangerous", that they might commit future crimes.
This proposal of course violates pretty much everything we know about how humans work and how society has worked for... thousands of years.
Punishing people for acts they MAY commit, but HAVE NOT committed, is just absurd and a violation of several international laws Finland has ratified. It is a behavior repugnant to humankind.
Also, if someone is deemed to be future "dangerous" to self or others, that is a matter for the psychiatric care and social services, with a goal of removing that danger, not just storing people until their demise for acts they haven't done.
This is what happens when "we Nazis" (https://todon.eu/@b9AcE/110790343865354651) are the government.

Attached: 1 image "We Nazis don't really like such Jew-things" and several severely racist statements e.g. equating population groups with monkeys and weeds, in text messages sent by the new Minister of Economic Affairs of Finland, Wille Rydman, who recently replaced the previous one after that one resigned due to severe racism and Nazi-events participation. The messages were sent in 2016 to a then girlfriend by the then Member of Parliament and member of the Constitutional Law Committee for the "National Coalition Party", which now is the leading party in the government coalition together with the "Finns Party" which Rydman now represents after switching party in 2023, the "Swedish People's Party" and the "Christian Democrats". The leader of the "Christian Democrats" party commented the messages that were seen and publicized by the major newspaper "Helsingin Sanomat" (HS) by stating that "I think that nobody should be called either Nazi or a black bag in Finnish society". Leader of the "Finns Party" commented that "I nether can nor want to take a stance on something like that. A politician is a public figure, but also has private circles". Rydman refuses to comment the messages per se and gives the reason in a statement on X that it would legitimize the publication, but also threatens to sue HS, again.

abolitionmediaEd Poindexter, political prisoner and Black Panther Party member, died Thursday in prison after a lengthy battle with diabetes and more than a half century in colonial US state custody.
Poindexter, 79, and David Rice, who died in prison in 2016, were convicted of murder in the 1970 booby-trap bombing that killed Omaha Police Officer Larry Minard.
Their conviction came amid a period of heightened racial tensions in North Omaha and was one of the most controversial in Nebraska history.
Many claimed Poindexter and Rice, who adopted the name Wopashitewe Mondo Eyen we Langa, had been framed for the bombing because of their political activity.
It was later revealed that the pair were targets of the US repressive operation COINTELPRO which was used to murder, disrupt and destroy political organizations and individuals in the US.
Poindexter, like many US held political prisoners, suffer immensely in the prison system, are routinely subjected to internationally maligned barbaric treatment, and often die in prison or immediately upon release.
He will be remembered as one of the many heroic fighters for freedom in the draconian, slave system in power in the colonial US.
