Psychos are harassing people based on appearances, impersonating ICE officers.

Charges include kidnapping, impersonating an officer, petty larceny, battery, and more.

Sick, sad, racist fucks.

People playing fast and loose with the terms "discrimination" and "racism" really grind my gears. We are talking about centuries of fucking crimes against humanity, and some sad little fuckers have the nerve to conflate reparations with the very crimes that were committed.

I populated the community with what I had kept a track of, but it can be much better if people join and we keep doing this.

Probably will be useful for data for activists and researchers, to have all developments handy in one place.

Retrospective posting is welcome, just use the YYYYMMDD format to tag the title with the original date.

Mastodon/Fediverse post/comments are also welcome.

Suggestions are also welcome. I will pin a post for this.

Why on earth are they pursuing this. We all know this is not a real problem.

If it was a scare crow to attack trans rights, they have achieved that. They have pulverized trans rights in many places, especially bathroom access.

Who stands to gain from this? It is not a real problem!

This started out as a far-far-fetched construction to attack trans rights. In fact, whoever designed this hoax is Goebbels-level diabolical. If you break it down, it subconsciously re-arranges the notions of self-identification and toilet use, in a way that presents "reckless liberalism" as an immediate threat to normalcy.

The people who eat this shit up may be stupid, but the people who design it are not. This goes beyond straw-man attack and slippery slope fallacy. It rather combines both into a powerful manipulation technique that bears resemblance to mass hypnosis. They have someone really malevolent on the propaganda payroll, folks.

This is no more outlandish or unscientific than the WHOLE anti-trans thing:

Men pretending to be trans to access woman spaces does not happen any more frequently than furry students shitting in litterboxes.

The right is consistently and historically mobilized by fantastic beasts their cult leaders brainwash them about.

I did not change the title as per community rules. But the title is misleading.

The full quote was disparaging the public sector employees, suggesting it was "the public sector employees" who perpetrated the Holocaust. You want a quick debunk?

  • The Holocaust was decided by the higher echelons of the Nazi party, including Hitler.
  • Goebbels has written about it in his diaries.
  • Hoess was supervisor in Auschwitz II, and has written extensively about the daily murders in the gas chambers.
  • Himmler gave an infamous speech to raise the morale of the SS who had PTSD from the massacres in the Eastern Front.

From Wikipedia:

Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler became the chief architect of a new plan, which came to be called The Final Solution to the Jewish question.[20] On 31 July 1941, Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring wrote to Reinhard Heydrich (Himmler's deputy and chief of the RSHA),[21][22] authorising him to make the "necessary preparations" for a "total solution of the Jewish question" and coordinate with all affected organizations. Göring also instructed Heydrich to submit concrete proposals for the implementation of the new projected goal.[23][24]

The plans to exterminate all the Jews of Europe were formalized at the Wannsee Conference, held at an SS guesthouse near Berlin,[28] on 20 January 1942. The conference was chaired by Heydrich and attended by 15 senior officials of the Nazi Party and the German government. Most of those attending were representatives of the Interior Ministry, the Foreign Ministry, and the Justice Ministry, including Ministers for the Eastern Territories.

After all, I have zero fucks left for Musk: he hates blacks, women, and trans people to a degree comparable to how Hitler hated Jewish people, that his actual antisemitic sentiment would not change a thing. Whether he starts revisiting or denying the death camps tomorrow will surprise exactly zero people. We are past that point.

There is no ongoing discussion about him being a Nazi or not. He fucking is. As a major propagandist of this despicable operation he will have the same fate as the original Nazi leaders, and that is for sure.

The tweet in question is to interpreted as vilification of the administrative branch, and serve as positional defense at a moment where he risks being held accountable for DOGE cuts. This is how it should be interpreted.

 

Musk, who has over 219 million followers on X, formerly known as Twitter, retweeted a post saying Soviet revolutionary Joseph Stalin, former Chinese Communist Party chairman Mao Zedong and Hitler—whose regime under his direction orchestrated the Holocaust—did not murder millions of people, “Their public sector workers did.”

The post had 1 million views and 14,000 likes as of Thursday evening.

Musk has faced antisemitism allegations since 2023, when the billionaire openly agreed with a post that claimed “Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.” The post also said the western Jewish population was “coming to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities that support flooding their country don't exactly like them too much,” to which Musk said, “You have said the actual truth.”

Bloody mfers.

Yesterday, the West Virginia House of Delegates approved an amendment from Del. J.B. Akers (R) to allow a child’s “treating health care provider” to examine a child’s genitals without the consent of their parents.

The amendment was actually an improvement over a previous version of the bill, which, state Democrats argued, would have allowed teachers to perform the genital examinations.

Akers’ amendment was the Republican response to one proposed by Del. Kayla Young (D), which would have banned child and adult genital examinations altogether.

“It’s unconscionable that Republicans would support legislation that authorizes intrusive visual inspections of minors without parental approval,” Young said. “West Virginians should be alarmed and disgusted by this invasion of privacy.”

It also says that all intersex people are “either male or female” but does not give a basis for assigning a sex to them.

Additionally, as related to this post Peter Whittle's Wikipedia page, especially "The New Culture Forum" is a cornucopia of English speaking transphobic commentators. The following were marked red more specifically:

This is easy to get just with the Firefox's console, like $$("a.assigned-label-transphobic"), and might hint to how to "archive" Shinigami markings. But even more valuable would be snapshots taken before any vandalism took place, and that would be tricky as I don't think web archives preserve Shinigami CSS information. It must be local to the browser.

Actually resistance in concentration camps is an untold saga. The most famous example is the inverse "B" in "Arbeit Macht Frei", but there where more examples, and less subtle too, like full blown antifascist banners in barracks, even sabotage and espionage in the gas chambers. Never give up!

Zoom in: Newly confirmed Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said in a statement that since Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel, "Jewish students have faced relentless violence, intimidation, and anti-Semitic harassment on their campuses— only to be ignored by those who are supposed to protect them."

She said universities must comply with all federal anti-discrimination laws if they are going to receive federal funding. "For too long, Columbia has abandoned that obligation to Jewish students studying on its campus," McMahon added. "Today, we demonstrate to Columbia and other universities that we will not tolerate their appalling inaction any longer."

Musk’s shrinking fortune is largely tied to Tesla’s stock, which has plunged about 36% since the start of the year as the company struggles with slowing sales. Roughly 60% of Musk’s wealth comes from Tesla shares and options. The rest of his wealth comes from his other ventures. His net worth skyrocketed when SpaceX hit a $350 billion valuation, making it the world’s most valuable startup. Meanwhile, xAI, his artificial intelligence startup, raised $6 billion in funding, pushing its valuation to $50 billion.

 

Through a union, TSA officers are empowered to improve work conditions and make air travel safer for passengers. With this sweeping, illegal directive, the Trump administration is retaliating against unions for challenging its unlawful Department of Government Efficiency actions against America’s federal workers in court.

Note, this is just a result of playing around with search engines. This list is not authoritative and I don't vet any of these sources.

A PDF apparently archive of the Shinigami Eyes FAQ and how to label instructions.

Southern Poverty Law Center regularly monitors and lists hate groups, including anti-trans hate groups.

Trans Safety Network is a UK investigative journalist group. The articles host a wealth of anti-trans figures and organizations, mostly (but not limited) to British TERF takeover.

Erin Reed's website has lots of resources on US Legislation against trans people, contains lots of politicians and groups that push similar bills.

This github claims to monitor "gender exploratory" conversion therapy worldwide.

This podcast seems to discuss the anti-trans playbook of far-right militia types such as the Proud Boys.

This arxiv paper seems to have up to date theory and conceptualization. eg it recognizes TERF/far-right "intracommunity" and focuses on "understudied" targets such as transmasculine and non-binary. (This matches what is said in the reviews about the direction the Shinigami Eyes fuckups are taking.)

This is IIRC the original source of the leaked emails Erin Reed has written about

there are extensive discussions between deutsch and notorious anti-gay and anti-trans “experts” associated with known hate groups targeting transgender healthcare in the united states, including dr. quentin l. van meter and dr. michelle cretella of the catholic medical association, dr. andre van mol of the christian medical & dental associations and american college of pediatricians, dr. michael k. laidlaw of the kelsey coalition, dr. william j. malone of the society for evidence-based gender medicine, dr. paul w. hruz of the national catholic bioethics center, laura haynes of narth, and deacon dr. patrick w. lappert of catholic reparative therapy group courage international. participants discuss crafting their language to avoid acknowledging that transgender people exist, constructing new ways to define doctors as criminals for providing gender-affirming care, and targeting a federal agency publication that correctly points out the dangers of anti-gay conversion therapy. their emails frequently digress into personal vendettas and ambitions of destroying established professional groups such as the endocrine society, and they typically celebrate their anti-trans legal and political achievements as a victory of the christian god.

I have been posting in /c/Anarchism for quite some time, along other places. I recently realized I was no longer able to do so. The reason, it was said by someone, is that federated moderation was not working and there were no local moderators for this community, so they locked it down to moderators-only posting. They further invited people to take over if they want. Since I regularly post there, I asked that person what is the workload and that I am considering taking over. They never came back. I recently tried to post and I found the issue was not resolved. So, is it still possible to take over moderation of /c/Anarchism, and what would the requirements be?

 

This has been my experience as well. I have fixed a couple mis-markings myself, after careful examination of the accounts, because sth seemed a bit off.

As many of the 1-star reviews state, accounts that are obviously green are marked as red and vice-versa.

I don't know if it is a moderation issue. The app was dead-accurate for many years, and in the docs they stated they do some manual confirmation as well. It could be sth even more technical with their filter. We can't know.

But the important thing is that it is up to us, the users, to correct mistakes were they are found, or even deliberately introduced by faschists. Shinigami Eyes always was a crowd-sourcing app.

If the crowd stops submitting quality data, then the app will go, indubitably, ashtray.
