"trans women experience misogyny because they're women"

Solidarity is a weird thing… all of a sudden you’re seeing the Pope on your dash and the tea is… piping hot? (To offset the Vatican.va link, here's a tl;dr from The Onion.) ... Look at him go!

(Disagreements with his Holiness aside, it’s great to see a powerful figure power taking the side of the people.) ... EDIT: Wake up babe, a new Inquisition just dropped - apparently, not even the Pope can escape being wrongly accused by AI "verifiers."

filing all of that under mere "disagreements" signals how unprincipled this reaction you perform is. this framing only holds if you've already decided that opposition to AI is the only relevant axis, and the actual politics, the actual institutional record, the actual people on the receiving end of church policy, gets brushed aside because it's inconvenient to the posts you want to make.

a position that evaluates institutions by whether they've said something useful about your issue, and brackets everything else as secondary, has no mechanism for discerning if praising what is among the most reactionary institution of our time making one statement that aligns with your interests while continuing to cause serious harm in every direction its power reaches is a good choice. the reflex of single-issue politics ends up celebrating an institution with a documented record of what it does with the dignity of people actually vulnerable to it, on the basis that it produced however many words useful to the discourse.

Cyrus Belton, a 14 year old child, was murdered by Rick Chow. Why? Because Chow assumed he was shoplifting ( and his own security cameras proved that Cyrus didn’t). This is very reminiscent of Latasha Harlins, who was 15 years old and was murdered by the shop owner Soon Ja Du because she suspected Latasha of shoplifting.

Chow’s store has been wrecked by locals, like what happened with Du’s shop.

Chow’s son, Andy, admitted that he didn’t see a gun on Cyrus Belton. So you saying, he had a gun, is bullshit. They chased a 14 year old down and shot him. Cyrus didn’t even steal anything. Chow’s own security cameras showed that Cyrus was told to put his backpack on the ice cream cooler, that he pulled out 4 water bottles but put them back, and lifted his shirt to show he didn’t take anything. Chow, his son, AND his wife were watching him.

There is no justifying shooting someone in the back that was fleeing. Some would consider that a war crime. “bUt HE hAD a GuN?!” There was no gun. The sheriff said there was no gun and that there was no theft. AND they said that there were multiple incidents at that Shell specifically, with that family involving a gun.

so, my father has moved on from verbal abuse to physical, and almost broke my nose the other day. our home life has become unsustainable, so now me and my gf need to move out as soon as possible, for our own safety.

any amount would be greatly appreciated, we need any help we can get.
