❝ Psychopatriarchy is a reaction, a backlash against the progress we have made on all fronts…
It has birthed an authoritarian fascist reality, poisoning our social and psychological environment with terrorizing violence, cruelty and precarity. It has consolidated the billionaire class who are driven by the mindset summed up in the slogan “move fast and break things.” Or, one might say, grab things, rape things.❞

EMPATHY is the foundation of Jesus' New Command:
❝ John 13:34
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” ❞
if 66% of white "evangelicals" reject #empathy, they reject the gospels and Jesus’ teachings, aka evangelism. in other words,
A MAJORITY OF WHITE EVANGELICALS REJECT CHRISTIANITY.
they are the original definition of bigots: people who kill in the name of god. a term that btw originated during the era of intra-european crusades.

2. been thinking A LOT about something i read about Queen Victoria: she saw her fertility as a way to control the royal households of Europe. so, #motherhood as #colonialism.
which explains a #MidsomerMurders sub-genre: sons killing their mothers because they had them for money, titles and the manor house, not because they wanted them. so, consequences of motherhood as #capitalism

i love Amazing Stories for their covers and the fact they were the one mass market publication that circulated most of the great murder mystery, fantasy and sci-fi writers of the late 19th, early 20th centuries.
the fact they sold for 25 cents a magazine that had the names of HG Wells, Jules Verne and Edgar Allan Poe on a cover with weirdo snowman monsters is absolutely BONKERS.
this whole era of “penny novels” is fascinating yet sorely underappreciated.

#misogyny and the normalization of #rape is one of the markers ―if not the most important marker― of #fascism.
indifference to rape, the most cruel act of violence, is a complete abdication of empathy.
without empathy, corruption is law. in a world led by indifference to suffering, fascists can use racism, ableism, xenophobia, pedophilia, bestiality, ecocide, hate to thrive.
that’s why fascists need corruption to survive.

it’s not just that Domitila looks like my maternal nana. she had the audacity to organize a labor union of wives and STAY AT HOME MOMS of miners in Bolivia to fight against their husbands’ wage slavery & their communities’ lack of social services

Gloria Steinem worked for the CIA and dated Henry Kissinger.
when i talk about White Woman, Capitalist, Imperialist Feminism, am talking about La Steinem.
Steinem succeeded in making #feminism only about #abortion and not about the obvious endgame to smashing #inequality: socialism.
that’s why Steinem was never the champion of #UBI or #Medicare4All. that’s why she was nowhere defending “welfare queens” from corporatists’ witch hunts.
may she rot in nevermore like Kissinger.

a guy on one of those e-scooters almost killed my son, who coincidentally, was going to his job at a bike store.
had it not been for his helmet, he could have ended up with severe head trauma, paralyzed or in a coma. a co-worker was also biking along and got him to the hospital. the guy in the e-scooter ran away & disappeared.
in #nyc it’s usually a new generation of yuppies on those e-scooters. they think traffic rules don’t apply to them. never a helmet in sight.

so i have questions about #Debian:
1. are members ONLY developers?
2. only developers argued for/against #LLM #AI?
devs are the last people who should be involved in discussions about the ethics and legality of software. ie:
just reckoned, when a court recently decided you can't claim #copyright on #aislop, it didn't occur to me it means both closed and open copyright.
so, if using LLMs trained on works stolen or added without consent removes any claims of #FLOSS: what is Debian now?

i know folks who work at a funeral home in #PuertoRico. they say, since this #Iran charade started, they’ve been getting about a dozen soldiers’ bodies a week ―fully autopsied and embalmed. supposedly it’s them who in the past processed the deceased.
they say it is not just unprecedented for the amount of dead soldiers. it’s the fact families are coming to them because their dead ones are not appearing in DoD or VA’s DIA rolls.
#DoD is hiding the real numbers of dead soldiers.

you know what changed? the power of insurance companies. many states and localities didn't force people to have car insurance. that changed thanks to “the reagan revolution” which was heavily financed by… you betcha… the insurance industry.
the petromafia are not just the oil companies that bought up all the private railways to ripped them out and bus routes to shut them down. it’s the insurance companies and car makers making sure our lives revolve around their profit-making.

IN OTHER NEWS am watching a BBC docushow on english castles. TIL “Prince of Wales” is a colonial title. never occurred to me the “Prince Of Wales” isn't Welsh.
what’s interesting is that the whole premise of the show is about how the english copied and surpassed the norman building castles and using them as tools for COLONIALISM.
it’s so rare in USA to hear historians referring to europeans colonizing each other before moving on to other continents.

it didn't occur to me that #canicule #heatwave induced drought would be a problem with nuclear reactors, but since i was taught, as a wee lass, how much DRINKING water a reactor uses, i added that to the nuclear waste disposal problem as my two main reasons to oppose the greenwashing of nuclear reactors.
the ecological impact of nuclear reactors is still as devastating as that of fossil fuels

PS:
ALLERGIES TESTING ―from cradle to grave― SHOULD BE STANDARD PREVENTIVE MEDICINE PRACTICE.
this is why my sons still go to their “baby doctor”. he’s one of the best in Family Medicine and this is the clinic’s routine protocol.
it should be, after those 1994 changes to the FDA.

to this day, because of his allergies, my son needs to get special #flu #vaccines ordered.
which is why he still goes to the same family doctor that tended him after i stormed out of that pediatrician’s office who literally said, “well, even if he died, it’s for the greater good”.
really? no. forcing a cheaper vaccine isn't for the greater good. it’s for maximazing pharma profit.
all vaccines should be free and there should be more than one choice available. THAT is the greater good. /🧵

we didn't have the combined MMRs in Puerto Rico when i was kid. that’s why kids adopted from countries without it, get the separate ones.
the choice of separate and combined should be readily available AND FREE. money, not public health, is why we are forced into the combo; just as i was forced into anaphylactic shock 3 times to use an additives laden chemo solution.
money, not science, is why the insurance and the hospital forced my doctor to use the cheaper chemo solution… 🧵…

2. i’ve outlined my experience with both sides of the changes:
- 2a. ACTIVE ingredients, like triclosan ―which were always problematic
- 2b. INACTIVE ingredients in pharmaceuticals and cosmeceuticals that are the most often involved in what the industry called “personal injury” cases. in my case it involved cancer immunotherapy. in my son’s case, immunization.
all this to say: in spite of those 1994 changes, we should have more than one choice of #vaccines BECAUSE OF #ALLERGIES 🧵…

they not only said they were following FDA guidelines ―which they helped rewrite, by the way― and the testing proved triclosan didn't kill people immediately, so the products were safe to use under those guidelines.
not only everything i wrote going forward had to be approved by several suits in legal, this is now their legacy:

with the #AIDS crisis, they believed #triclosan would be the inevitable product to buy, cementing the company’s market dominance in all things detergent… because they didn't even want to make soap. it was cheap chemicals all the way to the bank for this group of Fortune 500 money-grubbing morons.
they stuck triclosan into everything they could. after all, they held the patent to the chemical.

some fuckwad in one of the subsidiaries decided to try creating a compound with silica to save money on the chalk used over 100 years to make toothpaste.
it ended up as exactly as you can imagine: the company paying up for “personal injury” cases and gagging people about mentioning anything in public.
which takes me back to the point of the triclosan patent: they literally were trying to create a need for an antimicrobial that wasn’t there…🧵

my oncologist had to scream at the hospital administrator to go deal with the insurance company so she could use the un-mixed version of my chemo.
the insurance and the hospital decided that us poors should stick to the pre-mixed, additive-laden solution to cut costs.
that solution almost killed me 3 times.
but because it is NOT the active ingredient doing the harm, that cheaper version will still be peddled… 🧵…

my son had an anaphylactic reaction to the MMRs. you don't want to know how it feels to have the limp body of your baby after doing the “right thing” and being a responsible parent.
but the gaslighting about inactive ingredients in vaccines and immunotherapy is what also almost killed me during chemo… 🧵…

since the focus on safety was now only on ACTIVE ingredients, pharma companies went to town changing INACTIVE ingredients to cut as many costs as they could and maximize profits.
OH! did i mention that these changes went hand-in-hand with the ability of a company to "protect" their patents?
patents were based on the original pharma recipe. not anymore. now companies could use old recipes, change one ingredient and have a completely new patent, lowering the cost of R&D, so… 🧵…

1994 brought us clintonian triangulation to food and drug safety:
the bar was completely removed by basically defining safety as “it does not immediately kill you”.

they wanted to exploit fears about #AIDS by deregulating from “industry only” to “mass market” the triclosan hand detergent they only sold to hospitals and meat processing plants.
they also wanted to side-step all the testing involved for such a move. they claimed statistical evidence would suffice for proving the soap or toothpastes were already safe, so they should only focus on the active ingredient… by redefining safety… 🧵…
