Regular readers know that every Friday the Thirteenth, I ask those who aren’t sex workers to stand up for us. If you’re one of them, you already know the sorts of things I’m going to say; if you aren’t, you can simply go back and read the essay for the August 2021 occurence, which contained quotes and links for every occurrence of this particular day and date combination. And if you value all the work I’ve done fighting for sex workers over the past 16 years, a concrete sign of that (via continuing subscription or one-time donation) would not only be deeply appreciated, but also provide vital resources for the continuance of that work.

All that seems to matter is the idea that the government should have unchecked access to our financial lives. – Nicholas Anthony
Matthew 21:31 seems pretty straightforward to me:
…Christianity’s relationship with sex is complicated by Christians themselves. While some traditions celebrate sex and desire during marriage, others long wielded shame, morality, and religious authority to regulate sex and people’s bodily autonomy. And while some Christians preach moral “purity,” others find the lines around religion and sexuality blurry. Today, those tensions are playing out in an increasingly politicized porn landscape, where Christian nationalist efforts to restrict sexuality collide with the complications of faith, lust, and pleasure. No one is putting those ideas to the test more than Christian porn stars…
…[After the] Tarrant County…jail…sent…Mack Greer…to the hospital…the [family was barred from]…see[ing him by barfing the word “]custody[” in their faces. By the time someone decided to pretend to have a particle of human decency]…Greer…was already brain dead…due to massive hemorrhaging…[caused by pigs repeatedly] banging his head [against] the wall…[when they] re[alized] Greer [was about to die they]…pulled out an ink pad, grabbed Greer’s limp hand, pressed his thumb on the ink and then onto the signature line of the release form…[so as to avoid the mandatory] investigat[ion of a] death…in jail custody…The Texas Commission on Jail Standards…ruled…the do[dge…in]valid…and appointed [more pigs] to investigate…Greer w[as] the third person in as many days sent from the jail to the hospital and then quickly pronounced deceased…[due to violence inflicted by the stooges of] T[rumpist] Sheriff Bill Waybourn…
Facebook is the most antisocial corporation other than those who run prisons:
Facebook is hosting a large number of accounts dedicated to [computer]-generated content depicting coaches inappropriately touching young female athletes…and [refusing to take] them down, even when they’re directly reported by users…the coaches are [always] older men…some [of the girls] look as young as teenagers…with braces on their teeth…The coaches run their hands over their lower backs and inner thighs as they stretch or practice poses…sometimes patting them on the buttocks or…genitals over their outfits…[the cartoon] girls in the clips react as though the touching is normal, often smiling and giggling…Some of the clips…are thinly veiled as educational…[while] other[s]…make little effort to hide their prurient intent…it wasn’t until it was contacted by a journalist that [Facebook] backtracked on its initial assessment that the pages didn’t violate its policies…After we reported the abusive pages, Facebook’s recommendation algorithm started serving up many more similar…videos…[so it] has the tech it needs to identify the disturbing clips, but instead of using it to crack down on the content, it’s using it to recommend more…[Facebook] has also declined to remove [computer]-generated content depicting extreme…child abuse…
The Incredible Shrinking Dollar
In comparison with your grandparents, you have no financial privacy:
The Trump [regime keeps] expand[ing] financial surveillance at the southern border to target more than…3.5 million people. The heightened surveillance began in March 2025 with a…temporary order lower[ing] the threshold for currency transaction reports…from $10,000 to just $200 for money service businesses like Western Union that operate in 30 zip codes along the border. The surveillance order was quickly met with challenges in court by the Institute for Justice, and other organizations. And…the courts agreed that…the $200 surveillance order…“defies common sense,” and “likely violates the Fourth Amendment.” The court issued an injunction to put the surveillance on ice…[but] instead of respecting the ongoing litigation, [the regime] issued a new order with a $1,000 threshold covering four times as many zip codes…small businesses have become trapped under hefty compliance burdens…[while] people [turn]…to illegal markets…In September 2026, the order was expanded again…to 304 zip codes…It didn’t matter to the government that there was a court case challenging the surveillance. It didn’t matter to the government that people were losing their businesses. Instead, all that seems to matter is the idea that the government should have unchecked access to our financial lives…
Everything I read about modern work makes me happier I became a whore:
Andy Yen, the CEO of Proton, [spewed deranged nonsense at] an employee…who urged the company to at least take a few days to pentest newly written code before pushing it live. “That’s bullshit and loser thinking…focus more on how to be faster”…His ultimate message for the team was to “stop lovingly handcrafting all our code and [enshittify]…more”…In the last few months, Yen set up an email address for employees to [rat out]…any[one counseling caution against letting chatbots ruin] Proton, so leadership can “ruthlessly smash every[one] that stands in the way”…Proton [also] installed software on workers’ computers [to] track how much [slop] the company is generating…and Yen said…Proton will [soon replace all software] engineers…with [chatbot fanatics]…Proton said it would re-interview staff about their [delegating their thinking to chatbots], with the clear implication that…employees’ willingness to [submit to virtual lobotomization] could decide whether a worker is fired or not…Workers describe an environment where employees have genuine concerns about security…but feel unable to voice them, lest Yen…threaten…their [livelihood]. “The CEO is in full AI psychosis and has been for a while now,” one of the sources told 404 Media…
The software can’t be stopped, but Facebook’s advertising it can:
At first glance, the self-proclaimed “pet portrait” app Viefur appears to be just another…slop generator…pet photos can be turned into an “anthropomorphic portrait,” with the critter dressed in “human clothing” and inserted into bizarre scenes…[but that’s] cover for…the app’s true purpose: creating sexually abusive deepfake images…the app is part of a network of more than 400 connected domains and apps that…claim to be everyday services—such as language tuition..[but] when accessed under certain conditions…load a web interface allowing the generation of explicit…sexual images and videos using photos users upload…includ[ing such] scenes…as “bedroom rape” and “threatening knife”…The network was discovered hiding in plain sight, by multiple researchers, after they investigated links from thousands of video ads containing explicit deepfake content…published on…Facebook and Instagram…
Some cops don’t limit themselves to one type of creepiness:
A [typical and representative] Pensacola [Florida cop named]…Matthew Baxter [was arrested after fellow cops rooting in his phone discovered]…child [porn, bestiality porn]…and [images taken in various bathrooms] of [non-consenting subjects]…The [rooting]…began in October when Baxter was arrested for possession of controlled substances without a prescription…

[Prisons] cannot…legitimately deny people critical healthcare. – Aditi Shah
Forced-birth fanatics are now actively empowering abusive men:
An Arizona judge awarded $67,000 in damages to a man who sued for wrongful death of an embryo after his ex-wife had a wanted abortion…[pretending] the clinic and its doctors…didn’t [say all the magic words and perform all the sacred dances required by] the state’s [anti-autonomy] law…[even though she] signed four consent documents…[if] the [decision stands], “it would establish a dangerous precedent in Arizona concerning embryonic personhood”…
The Last Shall Be First (#1633)
Judges need to start presenting a united front against monarchical diktats:
The Supreme Court [has] rejected…[the] Trump…[regime’s attempt] to [torture]…transgender people in federal prisons [by forcibly detransitioning them]…in part because the administration lack[s] evidence that…[being trans is innate]ly [a] security concern…Thomas…and…Alito…[predictably] dissented…Trump[‘s henchlawyers pretend]…that the…2026 policy was not an extension of changes made to comply with Trump’s 2025 [anti-trans diktat], but reflected [prison bureaucrats’] independent judgment [that they know more about medicine than doctors do. However]…the…court re[cognized the obvious fact] that…the 2026 policy was reverse-engineered to implement the [diktat]…
Pigs in schools are a menace which should be abolished:
An analysis by The New York Times and the San Antonio Express-News reported that, as the number of [pigs lurking] in Texas [schools] grew, children…ages 10 to 13 were [arrested] more than 47,000 times since 2014…[with corresponding] educational, emotional, and financial [damage to] students and their families…The findings mirror other recent studies. A report…by the…ACLU…of Iowa found that…[pigs lurking] in Iowa schools…[spent] most [of their time persecuting students for] vaping…A…2020 [study] found that…[as the number of pigs lurking in schools rose] the number of Florida school arrests—which had been declining for years—suddenly started to rise. There was also a sharp increase in [cop violence] against students…Another study…in California…found that increasing the number of [pigs lurking in schools] led to both immediate and persistent increases in [cop violence]…and the number of suspensions and expulsions of students…
When a headline claims “AI can…”, the truth is, “No, it can’t”:
[Quack]s have developed a…[computer algorithm] that [they claim] can predict a cancer patient’s chances of survival from a single photograph of their face. [What] the…system…[actually does is] estimate biological age and directly [correlate that with] survival outcomes…[under the theory that] people’s biological age estimates are closely linked to their physical health, which could reflect their ability to survive certain treatments…
Nobody bothered to investigate this scam until it became explicitly linked with Trumpism:
…so-called “anti-trafficking” groups…are antithetical to…human rights…citing “tough on crime”…mantras characteristic of…[authoritarian] and [Trumpist] groups…Missouri and Utah are…two leading hubs [promoting]…a blend of modern white slavery myths and…Christian nationalis[m]…all tied, directly or indirectly, to…Tim Ballard and the [profiteering organization] he formed, Operation Underground Railroad (OUR), which [has] rebranded to [“]Our Rescue[“]…Ballard is still the subject of a lawsuit [due to rampant sexual] abuse [of employees] and trafficking [of the foreign minors he pretended he was “rescuing”], which…is [why]…“Our Rescue”…publicly distanced itself from…Ballard…[but the new head is Trump henchman] Derek Benner, the former…[head of] ICE…[and the organization collaborates with…the…Human Trafficking Training Center (HTTC)…[founded by] Dan Nash…[an infamously-corrupt] Missouri State [pig whose career]…shows a blatant disregard for civil rights…HTTC was awarded a total of $264,037 in recent years to [instruct cops on “rescue” copaganda. Another conspirator is Alison]…Phillips[, a corrupt Missouri politician who] led…[pogroms against Asian-owned businesses] and…has longstanding ties to [pro-censorship and]…anti-[civil rights cults including]…Exodus Cry…
The only way to stop the panopticon is to tear it up by its roots:
A [typical and representative] Savannah [Georgia sow] gave her [ICE goon] husband…access to the [cop shop]’s Flock license plate reader system, which he used to [targe]t hundreds of [human beings for having brown skin. Collusion with ICE is against]…Savannah [cop shop policy, so it fired Amber] Harpe…who was [caught]…after an internal audit flagged an unusually high volume of searches through [her] account between January and July 2026…[the government tried to hide the goon] husband’s name…[but it is] Tyler Harpe…
Some readers may remember when cops were colluding to circumvent legal restrictions on facial recognition.
Cops will abuse warrantless surveillance for as long as it exists:
A[n] Indiana [cop named]…James Heneghan…was arrested [on October 15 for stalking]…intimidation…and fraud. He…[was reported by] a family member…[whose] kids [he had threatened, who told cops]…he…had been using [Flock] to…stalk…people and confront them in public…[the victims] includ[ed] ex-girlfriends, his wife…a man his wife knew…the husband of one of his ex-girlfriends…[and] his ex-girlfriend’s [teen offspring]…

No one is safe. No one. – Michael Wriston
If you’re a fan of “sex offender” registration, meet one of your bedfellows:
Jeff Bast, who goes by Millstone the Klown on social media, [fantasizes] he is protecting children [by destroying the lives of]…people [he claims are insufficiently sociopathic toward those condemned to] the sex offender registry…[one of his victims,] Lucy Reid…had grown weary of seeing her hometown [plastered with hundreds of handmade signs accusing someone of child sex abuse, so she started taking them down when she saw them]…she did not expect strangers to call her a “pedophile protector” or…deluge…[her employer, a bookstore,] with calls threatening demonstrations outside the shop unless it cut ties with her…[After she was sacked] Millstone the Klown’s followers [started posting videos] showing the entrance to the building where…she [lived, urging lynch mobs visit her with] pepper spray and a knife…One morning, a wood chipper was parked nearby…[after] Millstone…suggested she should be thrown into one…[another victim,] Llaina Groves…[was targeted with a spurious accusation] linking her husband and business to an alleged sex offender…Bast later posted an apology…but [only after his disciples had]…spray-painted [“DPDR”] on the parking lot in front of [her business], an abbreviation for…“Dead Pedophiles Don’t Reoffend”…[a] slogan [which appears on merchandise Bast sells]…
If you think this will go away when Trump does, you are a fool:
[ICE] is fast-tracking a $100 million domestic surveillance program to [post] 142 [spooks] in more than two dozen cities…in [order to more effectively destroy]…private lives. The new program is called the Enforcement and Removal Operations Overwatch and National Security Enforcement, or ERO ONE…and…the timeline suggests ICE will award the contract around February…Jay Stanley…[of the ACLU called it] “a nightmare in the making”…[because] the government [is] us[ing the excuse of] undocumented immigrants…[to subject] everyone…[especially] political enemies…[to] raid[s] like the one recently inflicted on] Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar’s D.C. home…ERO ONE…will…target…every [single] person to whom [a chosen victim is] connected, including household members, family members, friends, acquaintances, or the person with whom they carpool to work…
It’s been less than eight years since the UK lost in court the last time it tried this:
Pornography that depicts strangulation…or…sex between people who are…pretending to be related, or when somebody is pretending to be…under 16, will be illegal [in England and Wales because politicians love]…criminalising harmless sexual preferences…[if control freaks barf the words “]healthy relationship[“]…or [“]glorifies…violence against women…” [at it]…
Greedy idiots are discovering that there’s no autocomplete for human thought:
[Greedy nitwit]s around the globe are grappling with the fallout from rushing to [give human jobs to mindless chatbots. Facebook] has scaled back plans to axe staff and [replace them with chatbots] after the company found employees were spending more and more time cleaning up t[heir stupid] errors…Microsoft…vice-president Ryan Roslansky…publicly lamented the prevalence of…slop in his day-to-day work…and…Walmart…employees are being plagued by unreasonable expectations, errors and false alerts from [chatbot]s that assign tasks, [make] schedules and monitor performance…Employers are navigating a flood of errors and low-quality work that [is] sapping employee time, raising privacy and security risks and pushing up costs. Now, some businesses [whose management were wanking to Scroogesque fantasies of cheap electric slaves] are…implementing restrictions where experimentation was once encouraged, bringing back experienced workers and [eat]ing [crow]…
Promoters of dystopia love to vomit words like “safety” into the faces of useful idiots:
Rutgers University quietly paid at least $1.5 million for a powerful surveillance analytics system that can recognize faces, read license plates and [mis]identify objects…and…can track people and cars across a network of cameras and [call the pigs on] them. Avigilon…is part of Motorola S[urveillance], whose surveillance cameras and license-plate readers…increasingly blanket streets across the country. Rutgers [hid] the purchase [from students, faculty and even the] Board of Governors, the university’s highest governing body…[by taking it from] the…general budget…[while] cut[ting] library funding by roughly a quarter…Britt Paris, a [Rutgers] professor…who has followed these trends for years…[said] “If people knew about this, they would be incredibly upset”…the capabilities aren’t limited to the new cameras…[but] can be applied to the thousands of existing cameras across campus…Rutgers [barfs] the [buzzwords]…“crime[” and “]safety[” at critics]…but crime across all Rutgers campuses has…declined…[especially] serious violent crime…Surveillance has expanded…since 2023, [after] a wave of protests…
When [cops swagger]ed up to Anthony Sistilli’s front door in September, it wasn’t to accuse him of a crime or take a witness statement, but to ask how he could have the nerve to turn…surveillance cameras on the cops themselves…Though Canada lacks a centralized corporate surveillance regime like Flock in the US, the country’s police have been rapidly scaling a more decentralized ALPR network…Sistilli decided to homebrew his own ALPR…[specifically] designed to track police cars…which the software engineer mounted on his car’s dashboard to test in the real world…Unfortunately, local police soon caught onto Sistilli’s handiwork, and paid him a visit in order to [intimidate him]…“one of them…mention[ed] ‘how scary’ it would be for them, because people would be able to find out where they lived…and what they were doing throughout the day.” Sistilli’s response? “I think that’s the exact same concern that civilians have too”…
Cops won’t stop doing this until the settlements come out of their own pockets:
Lindsey Isaacs was asleep at home in Palm Coast, Fla., on Oct. 5, 2025, when she was awakened at 4:45 a.m. by…[cops who] accused the retail clerk…of causing a multi-vehicle crash…that had killed three people…and then fleeing the scene…They [moronically barfed that her truck] had damage consistent with that collision…[even though it was] sitting in front of them in perfect condition…[the source of the disinformation was of course] a Flock camera…Isaacs was…[locked in a cage] for 13 days, including three days in solitary confinement……[until] her lawyer presented the court with photos of [the same] undamaged [truck cops had ignored to arrest her]…Isaacs sued t[he lying pigs] for false arrest, wrongful imprisonment and malicious prosecution and won a settlement in 2026…

Whether…a…person has a vagina or a penis has no bearing on the deadliness of a firearm. – Judge Carlyn Addison
Some states appear to be determined to reverse civil rights progress:
Paris Lee was shot six times and killed by Samuel Ward Jr…[who] was convicted of voluntary manslaughter in May 2025. He claimed it was self-defense, but the jury didn’t buy it…however, the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals [has] reversed his conviction…declar[ing] that…[by] not disclosing [that] the victim…[w]as a trans woman, the trial judge “misled” the jury…and that Ward was entitled to a new trial where he could use this fact to bolster his claim of self-defense [because trans women are intrinsically scary]…even [though]…Ward was…known…to trans women in the area…[as one who] largely pursued relationships with transgender women…
This abomination began as a way for cops to target sex workers:
[Surveillance software] now lets cops take a photo and nearly instantly figure out what specific home it was taken in, using only clues in the photo itself, and is clearly pulling data from sites like Zillow and Airbnb. The tool, [now] called Raven…was previously called GeoSpy…[but] has [now] added features that let cops analyze the interior of homes…without using location data or other metadata attached to the image…This is…not a reverse image search…what Raven is doing, instead, is identifying unique characteristics in the photo, then finding what are likely other photos from the same property on sites like Airbnb, even if those photos are not exactly the same, or even if time has passed between them being taken…
The first version of this software was called “TraffickCam“; when it appeared 10 years ago, “sex trafficking” hysteria was still going strong and its designers sold it to useful idiots as “helping police rescue trafficking victims” so as to enlist their aid in building a mass surveillance database which now threatens the liberty and privacy of millions who have never sold sex.
They never stop demonstrating exactly what they are:
An ICE [goon was arrested for]…assaulting an elderly man and his daughter at a home in Fresno…[around] 3:30 am [on October 9. The] woman found…[drunk goon] David Gonzalez sleeping on her front lawn…[and] told her 72-year-old father, who then went outside to tell Gonzalez to leave…he [responded by attacking] the…old [man, and when]…the daughter tried to intervene to protect her father…Gonzalez…attacked her [as well. Fortunately]…the…old man [was sensibly armed] and shot Gonzalez. The[n the] woman…[called her cop] boyfriend…to [come and arrest] Gonzalez…who [has been] charge[d with]…felony assault…
Every study shows that chatbot usage harms brain function:
Brian Christian…was part of a team behind a landmark study that found that spending just 10 minutes relying on a…[chatbot] significantly impairs [human] ability to focus and persist with difficult tasks. A preliminary draft made waves earlier this year, and the team [recently] presented the updated, peer-reviewed paper…[a control group of] participants [were]…tasked with solving…basic [math and reading comprehension] problems without help, while another had ChatGPT open on the side…[chatbot] users got answers wrong or gave up entirely when the [electric crutch] was withdrawn…The findings backed up what [sensible people understood from the outset: using chatbots] for answers erodes…cognitive fitness…and…removes what the team called “productive struggle,” which can lead people to [hone intellectual skills. And]…offloading tasks to chatbots [quickly] reduce[s]…baseline understanding and mastery of a subject…
Cops think violence is the solution to every problem:
[A typical and representative] San Francisco [cop named Kevin Mannix murdered his estranged wife, another cop named] Ann Mannix…and her 24-year-old daughter, Katherine…[then killed himself. Another adult son or daughter]…was able to escape [unharmed]…and…[a third] adult [son or daughter was not there at the time]…
Why are people shocked when men paid & encouraged to behave violently, behave violently?
A Raleigh [North Carolina cop named]…Christopher Andre Reed was [arrested for] bothering employees and other patrons [of a restaurant while drunk]…he assaulted the manager and tried to hit two others on his way out…he…threw his keys at a[nother] person [then fled]. When [his fellow gang members] arrived…they found him walking down Capital Boulevard, and blocking traffic. He had several cuts after jumping a barbed wire fence…and…[when] a…paramedic [tried] to [help] him [he responded] by kicking him in the groin…[and] yell[ing] at [the other cops] to “shoot him”…
A boss hog is still just a pig, with all that entails:
Elizabeth…Louisiana…[may soon have a boss hog who raped] two children…Christopher Paul…was arrested in early September…[for] raping two 13-year-old girls 20 years ago…[and his opponent, Zachary LaCaze, had to withdrew after learning that his candidacy violated the Hatch Act because he works for the federal government. But] the village’s Board of Aldermen have no authority to change the ballot under state law…[so they] put an item on the Dec. 12 ballot that would change the police chief position from an elected position to an appointed position, if voted in. [But this being Louisiana,] it is unclear whether the p[opula]tion…will…act in the[ir own] best interests…

Freedom from persistent, dragnet-style surveillance while in public…is a reasonable expectation. – Judge Sara E. Hill
At least this report doesn’t pretend she was a real sex worker:
A woman who admitted to drugging and robbing four men, killing three of them, in New York City was sentenced to 27 years to life in prison…Tabitha Bundrick…would give the men the drugs, sometimes claiming it was cocaine…[then] take their phones, money, watches, clothing, and other items. Mario Paullan…Miguel Navez…and Abrihan Fernandez Rodriguez…[all] died…[and] Bundrick…[also kept] the victims’ sneakers…in…her apartment[, apparently as trophies]…she…[blamed] her conduct…[on] “drug addiction”…
Your “leaders” refer to aggravated rape as “correction”; parroting that is a choice:
A Utah woman [who] was [pepper-sprayed,] drugged[, kicked repeatedly in the head] and raped by [deranged screws inside Nashville’s] Downtown D[unge]on…[has filed] a [federal] lawsuit…Lisa Travis, a school administrator from Salt Lake City, visited Nashville on Oct. 7, 2025, to sing at the Dove Awards…[she] was booked…on [a bogus] trespassing [charge which] the prosecutor later dismissed…[but while in the holding cell another woman tried to cause trouble so] four [pigs] — Brandon Davis, Viniece McBride, Jacob Webb and Louis Bulivant…in[vaded the cell to]…threaten…and [brutalize]…her…McBride then…“saturat[ed her] eyes, mouth and nose with [pepper spray, blinding]…her…for hours…[they then] pushed her onto the floor…restrained her legs…[and dragged her] to another, more isolated part of the jail, where the[y] injected her with [such a large dose of] benzodiazepines…a blood test [could still detect them] nearly a week later…two [of the screws, whom she could not see because of the effects of the pepper spray]…began to kick [her repeatedly] in the head…then…raped her…at 3:30 a.m…they [threw] her out of the back door in her socks [without allowing her to call anyone]…forc[ing her] to wander alone, still disoriented and traumatized, around downtown…[she eventually] found her husband at their hotel, then went to [a hospital where]…she received a rape kit [and was diagnosed with a concussion and traumatic brain injury from the kicking]…
When Ambulance-Chasers Run the Hospitals (#1586)
Ken Paxton doesn’t care how many children die because of his actions:
Ken Paxton, the [psychopath-]general of Texas and [a serial lawsuit abuser]…has [now] accused doctors, drug companies and insurers of [“]conspiring[“] to…[protect] children…from…[dangerous diseases by vaccination. Following his usual modus operandi, the criminal Paxton has begun by attempting to intimidate his victims by official-looking letters making sweeping demands for confidential medical records he is not legally authorized to see under the bizarre excuse of “]consumer protection[“]…Paxton[‘s attempted victims include not only Texas]…pediatricians [individually, but also] the American Academy of Pediatrics…[his motive appears to be not only the promotion of the] Trump[ist cult in general, but also retaliation for]…the…Academy[‘s suing]…the Trump [regime over its dangerous policies] and grant cancellations, with some success so far…
I’m afraid judgments like this are too little, too late:
Utah’s [attempt to enact a de facto ban] on VPNs and similar tools…intended to allow internet users to bypass censorship, firewalls, and surveillance…[has been kneecapped by a federal court. Wannabe censors] have discovered that tools effective for bypassing Chinese and Iranian censorship are equally useful for evading restrictive laws imposed by the European Union, Brazil, or Utah. Britain briefly considered targeting VPNs but dropped the idea…of banning technology designed to be unbannable…In their lawsuit, the plaintiffs [ex]plained that the state’s requirements that age verification be applied to all internet users present in Utah…would require them “to age-verify every user of its platforms throughout the world” on the off-chance that they’re Utah residents…Utah’s attorneys [pinky-swore]…not…to…actually…enforce…the law…[but Judge David] Barlow [didn’t buy it, and]…issued a preliminary injunction against enforcement of the “actually located” provision…
Judge rules that unconstitutional surveillance is unconstitutional:
…the tide is turning against Flock…an[d other]…ALPR…system[s] in pervasive [and unconstitutional] use around the country…a federal court in Oklahoma granted a woman’s motion to suppress evidence found in her car after a [Flock] search that was conducted [purely because she had California license plates]…Judge Sara E. Hill…reject[ed] previous court holdings that…automated license plate reader systems are not “searches” for Fourth Amendment purposes…A right not to be subjected to “dragnet-style surveillance while in public…is the same expectation of privacy that the Supreme Court has continued to recognize,” she adds, citing…[the court’s rejection of geofence warrants in] Chatrie v. United States…On September 28, the jury on a federal case out of San Antonio held that…[“pre-crime”] policing…involving…pretextual traffic stops [i]s unconstitutional…
In which intimidation is euphemized as “talking” and a victim is dysphemized as “the offender”:
A…Chicago [cop attempted to murder a whole group of young] people [because] one [got tired of his big talk and slapped him]…the [pig was not wearing his magical clown costume, but]…when he s[aw a]…group [of teenagers] standing on the sidewalk [he couldn’t resist playing the big cheese by swaggering up to them and barfing cop intimidation talk at them]…when [one of the teens got tired of it he foolishly slapped the big-mouthed cop, who flew into an unhinged rage and shot both] the [teen who slapped him]…and…another [young man who was merely] standing [nearby. His typical cop cowardice then kicked in, so]…he…drove a short distance away and [then got]…out and [started] firing…at [every person he could see. The first victim]…was [arrested and] transported to Mount Sinai Hospital in fair condition. The [deranged cop, whose identity is being hidden by his gang, is still at large and presumed to be armed and dangerous]…
Cops shouldn’t be allowed anywhere legal minors even might be:
A Houston-area family is suing a [typical and representative cop for raping a 13-year-old]…Nicholas Burbridge…[used] an online dating app called “Pure”…[while] pretend[ing] to be a 16-year-old…to [groom] the…girl…[then] picked her up and t[ook] her to his residence…[where he] gave [her] edibles from a dispensary, which [because she was] 13…[and had no tolerance caused her] to [eventually pass out, after which he raped her]…Burbridge’s attorney, Cordt Akers, [called the girl a liar and claimed she is motivated by]…”money to be made”…Harris County [apparently believes otherwise because]…Burbridge was [fir]ed on March 6…
I find paywalls distasteful, and so many people find this blog valuable as a resource I just can’t bring myself to install one. Furthermore, I find ad delivery services (whose content I have no say over) even more distasteful. But as I’m now semi-retired from sex work, I can’t self-sponsor this blog by myself any longer. So if you value my writing enough that you would pay to see it if it were paywalled, please consider subscribing; there are four different levels to fit all budgets. Or if that doesn’t work for you, please consider showing your generosity with a one-time donation; you can Paypal to maggiemcneill@earthlink.net or else email me at the same address to make other arrangements. Thanks so much!
