Any time I see or hear someone using “communist” as an insult, I immediately assume they’re a right-winger using the word to mean “something I’m afraid of.”

My fundie-Christian family members use it as a synonym for “atheist” because that’s what they’re afraid of.

The DA is supposed to seek criminal charges in criminal cases with enough evidence to prosecute. If the victim of any crime in the US wants financial restitution (for hospital bills, lost wages, etc.), they need an attorney to pursue a civil suit.

I feel like The Satanic Temple would be willing to do this.

They did something similar with abortion rights, but I don’t think they have gained any legal traction with that argument. (That could also be because they’re waiting for a member who has standing to bring a case.)

404 Media doesn’t require payment for a subscription. Their content is behind a subscriber wall to keep AI bots from accessing their work.

I expect we’ll see more of this sort of thing as AI continues gobbling up everything on the internet so that it can write laughably bad term papers for high schoolers.

What’s your source for this? I find nothing that says therapists don’t have to report cases of child abuse.

I just responded to someone else with a long list of sources that indicate that therapists across the US are required to report child abuse.
