  1. At sentencing earlier this week, judge said the pastor showed zero remorse. “You choose rather to blame the victim and incredulously claim that you were the victim of abuse at her home, a 14-year-old child.” Silas Shelton was sentenced to the max, 15 yrs, for abuse back in 2019.
    2023, he's telling his school board "I got sick reading that stuff" re: award winning (gay) graphic novel.

  5. RE: newsie.social/@ProPublica/1165

    if #MAGA #GOP #Republicans were doing this in #PuertoRico, trust that they had the same vote-buying scheme across all USA prisons.

    as i have said before: Puerto Rico is the fascist gringolarchy’s #civilRights #humanRights #abuses and #genocide laboratory.

    go look up Wikipedia for how gringos killed Don Pedro Albizu Campos, the afroboricua leader of our decolonization and independence movement.

    the fascism they do there is a trial run for how they’ll do it here & elsewhere.

  7. …As #DOJ officials pushed back against suggestions that a #CivilRights investigation was in order in the days after Ms. Good’s death, clashes between #Minnesota residents & #immigration agents escalated. Some #prosecutors were met with resistance when they urged supervisors to open investigations into reports of #assaults & #abuses by #federal agents. The DOJ also blocked the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension from taking part in investigating Good’s killing, adding to prosecutors’ frustrations.

  9. "A lot of the 'You can't say anything anymore!' comedians are doing the festival..."
    - comedian A. Okatsuka (who declined the Saudi Fest)
    I won't be watching any of P$te D^vidson on Saturday Night Live. Let him go try to be funny in Saudi Arabia some more. Maybe he can write some jokes about their torture of that journalist from the Washington Post.

A second-tier #caste of single people with limited rights, living mostly outside #society, will inevitably suffer #abuses. These people can’t easily complain against #mistreatment."

  19. #Congress authorized the #DOJ to conduct civil investigations into constitutional #abuses by #police, such as excessive use of force or racially-motivated policing, in 1994, as a response to the horrific beating of #RodneyKing, a #Black man, by #white #LAPD officers.

    During #Biden's presidency, the #CivilRights Division launched 12 such "pattern or practice" investigations into police depts including #Phoenix, #NYC, #Trenton, #Memphis & #Lexington.

  21. By #law, the #State Dept releases annual reports for every country, & they traditionally follow one basic outline. The cuts ordered in the #Trump admin memo are not targeted at specific countries. Rather, they eliminate entire categories of #abuses from all the reports.

    But some deletions are more noteworthy than others. The Trump admin recently negotiated the transfer of #immigrants from the #US into #ElSalvador's notorious #prison system.

    The #Trump admin is substantially scaling back the State Dept's annual reports on international human rights to REMOVE longstanding critiques of #abuses such as harsh #prison conditions, govt #corruption & restrictions on participation in the political process, NPR learned.

  25. Protests work. A female rocker & her band were arrested after she gave a virtual concert (no live audience) w/ her hair showing. Public outcry got them all released the next day. Protests like two years ago, about the "hijab law", are the last thing #Iran wants now, so they postponed the new hijab law taking effect. Protests work.

  27. #ColonialCrimes : World #Map of #Justice Initiatives.

    “Don’t portray us as a band of beggars coming to demand reparation. […] I think the Europeans have obligations to us, like all the unfortunate, but especially to us for harms that they caused. That is what I call reparation.” These words of Aimé Césaire, renowned Martinican author of “Discourse on Colonialism”, still resonate everywhere in the world 71 years after they were published.

    The issue concerns 70% of the world’s population, either as a citizen of a colonizing country or as one of the colonized, according to French #history professor Bouda Etemad, author of the book “Crimes and Reparations, the West faced with its colonial past”. The colonized and their descendants, he writes, have the right to demand #reparation from the #European powers for the harms these States committed over a period of 500 years, from the “discovery” of #America by Christopher #Colombus to independence in the second half of the 20th century. Forced labour, slavery, persecution, executions, extermination, bombardments, looting and forced cultural #assimilation: the list is long of violent #abuses that accompanied #colonization in #Africa, the Near East, #Asia, the Americas, #Oceania and northern #Europe.

    This special focus concentrates on the period known as the “second #colonial empire” which from 1815 marked the new #expansionism of the Western powers until the wave of independence in the 1960’s and 1970’s.
