all cops are bastards because all cops are just doing their jobs
“I’m just doing what I’m told. If I am ordered to remove gold fillings from refugees theeth then that’s what I’ll do”, says police officer Michael Hansen.
Just thought I’d add this since not a lot of people outside of the nordic countries seem to have seen it. This is a danish police officer discussing a new danish law that says the police should seize the possesions and money of refugees to finance the integration.
In an increasingly misogynist US, girls are bombarded by Depp v heard, roe v wade, the 10 year old victim who had to leave her state for a safe abortion, and teen girls who make tiktoks about having their intestines removed after violent sexual assault all at the same time ALONG with makeup, bimbos, plastic surgery, and only fans being pushed on them at younger ages every year.
we DESPERATELY need a real, ugly, mean, loud feminism movement to go mainstream. this refusal to read theory and to apply critical thinking and reading comprehension to label everything that isn’t pink lipstick feminism as too problematic to engage with is completely destroying women’s minds.
stop labelling everything that CLEARLY isn’t even transphobic a terf. misogyny and transmisogyny are issues that overlap more than they don’t. this kneejerk reactionary trend of calling all feminists transphobes and the rampant seething hatred of feminism only strengthens actual TERFs in getting rightfully angry, frightened young women to join them online. they have completely ruined the public perception of radical feminism on a broad scale, but it’s fundamentally wrong and stupid to exclude trans people from radical feminist activism.
This probably sounds obvious, but I learned today that prisoners aren’t protected by OSHA regulations, and that this is another reason why employers are so eager to utilize this modern slavery. It’s only a couple cents an hour, less transportation costs than the overseas sweatshops, and if you want people to work with hazardous materials without proper training? That’s fine too! Prison labor is the ultimate free market solution!
If you want to really change the world, prisoner rights and prison reform is the way to go. Removing the ability of the ruling class to effectively punish the population frees everyone to challenge them in meaningful ways. Arbitrary violence and incarceration is how they keep people scared and divided. There is no crime in our society that isn’t generated by our society. Even the worst ones you can think of.
Prisoner rights are human rights. Prison abolition is mass freedom.
