✨National Crime Victims' Rights Week (#NCVRW)
🗓️ April 6–12, 2025

🧡 Connecting < KINSHIP > Healing

This year’s theme of #KINSHIP is a call to action to recognize that shared #humanity should be at the center of supporting all #survivors and #victims of crime.

KINSHIP is a state of being with survivors that drives vital connections to services, rights, and #healing.

❤️ KINSHIP is where victim advocacy begins.

I had a whole pithy mini-essay planned on LLMs, the "AI" scam that is attempting to build the ultimate dystopia, the companies pushing it, the workers and citizens who are its victims, and what it means for society as a whole.

Presentation was to be a "future history"-type approach, which I've always had a soft spot for in sci-fi.

And ... I just can't. Trump today decided that not only was driving the world's largest economy off a cliff the prudent thing to do, merely crashing it wasn't enough, so he decided to fill the backseat with lit sticks of TNT, and stick a lit rag in the fuel filler.

The streets tomorrow will be (only metaphorically, with luck) running with blood. People everywhere are going to be hurt, some devastatingly so.

I wonder if this is the kind of thing that Charles Stross means when he talks about the world stopping him from writing or finishing something he'd been planning on. It feels awful.

"...To succeed, any reforms to sentencing must ensure the #ProbationService is properly resourced to be able to deal with the cases it is required to manage. A service which is under-resourced and over-stretched will not be able to provide the effective service that the public and #victims need.”

🎭 Ah, the TAKE IT DOWN #Act, a hero without a cape, bravely attempting to "protect" #victims by bringing the world... wait for it... censorship! 🚫 Who knew safeguarding could be so ironically oppressive? 😂🔍

Electronic Frontier Foundation · The TAKE IT DOWN Act: A Flawed Attempt to Protect Victims That Will Lead to CensorshipCongress has begun debating the TAKE IT DOWN Act (S. 146), a bill that seeks to speed up the removal of a troubling type of online content: non-consensual intimate imagery, or NCII. In recent years, concerns have also grown about the use of digital tools to alter or create such images, sometimes...

John Schwarz Jr. pled no contest to 3 counts on Monday: having sex with a child under the age of 19, 4th degree sexual assault, and causing mental harm to a child."

We need a new leader for our movement bc this isn't going to help us. He didn't disclose on his website that he was convicted and has already taken people's money...over $100,900.
