There’re more reports of neglect, #abuse, & at least one death at the #ICE det cen in Miami💔. A video’s gone viral: shows ppl sleeping on the floor, & a man pleads for help, says there’s little food. A man that was deported to MX said he was detained there for days with no water, & sleeping outside -no AC, everybody is sick, God knows what they have, no MED attention or privileges to a bathroom.

The buck stops at the top, if any other president had…

How does one recognize whether or not what one experienced was narcissistic abuse?

It's not like one can ask the hypothetical abuser. They will deny it. Is learning about the patterns of narcissistic abuse and subsequently recognizing how they show up in one's lived experience the best one can do?

I find that a very unsatisfactory conclusion but it does seem like the best one can do. I probably lived in a relationship with at least narcissistic abuse patterns. And the unsolvable ambiguity of it all bothers me.

Do you suggest that sexual freedom could have a preventive and therapeutic effect for the Catholic Church ?

Protestantism is known to allow sexuality to its representatives.

Research question :
Does #Protestantism show lower rates of sexual tendencies and acts towards easy to dominate and #abuse beings like #children than #Catholicism ?

Vanity Fair · “Ludicrous” Situation: Jeffrey Epstein Case Redaction Takes Over FBI’s New York OfficeBy Noah Shachtman

Striking insight:

>>In Jennifer Silva’s fine study of working-class couples, “Coming Up Short: Working-Class Adulthood in an Age of Uncertainty”, she found they made up their own versions of the American Dream. Instead of describing their journey to the dream as getting richer, buying a house or car, they describe an ascent from abuse to full recovery – a journey to the emotional American Dream.<<

@ckrypto if@signalapp@mastodon.world wasn't complying with #CloudAct, @Mer__edith would be in jail.

Not to mention even if Signal keeps their "#OpenSource" code updated - which is doubtful, NOONE can actually #verify that it's the code you actually use - regardless if #backend / #Server or #client / #App!

  • #Signal is as secure as #ANØM, otherwise it would've been shutdown ages ago.

Also if Signal was designed for #security, it would've been #decentralized as #XMPP+#OMEMO and not demand #PII like #PhoneNumbers which oftentimes cannot be obtained anonymously in many juristictions at all!

By comparison, @delta doesn't require any PII, only an #eMail account, and @monocles isn't a #VCmoneyBurningParty but sustainable due to #subscription and they don't even require any personal details for #payment: #CashByMail and #Monero are accepted.

Again: It's Signal alone who have to evidence they are trustworthy, and all I get are "#TrustMeBro!" replies, which means they are not to be trusted.

  • Not to mention, it's just not sustainable to run a #service without #revenue, even if it's run entirely by unpaid volunteers and gets all it's #hosting and #costs donated, someone has to pay for expenses due to #abuse of a service (which is an inevitability come mass adoption)...

Whereas with #XMPP I can completely setup my own server and client, even build my own if I don't trust anyone else and pay someone to audit the code.

Whereas with XMPP & PGP/MIME #eMail I can layer @torproject / #Tor over it, make it an #OnionService and keep that thing under my bed with a literal killswitch...

MN St Sen Eichorn (R❗) was arrested for soliciting a teen on Mon, authorities said, hours after he introduced a bill proposing “Trump derangement syndrome” as a form of mental illness.

Bloomington PD detectives had communicated with Eichorn *under the assumption -talking to a 17-yr-old female. He arrived to meet the teen in person but was instead met by local officers.

Trump & many R allies, have violent tendencies & #abuse #women, sometimes: underage.

Nicoled | feddit.org | …it’s heartening to watch the Fediverse community (Mastodon, etc) learning basic 2012-era lessons about how spam, abuse & fake engagement works

So there is a fake nerd girl account with stolen photos attempting to friend people on mastodon, matrix, & discord.

Bless, it’s just like old times.
