And the few trans people that identify as and surround themselves with nazis and right wingers, typically are predators, and don't care about that because that is how their own "friends" see them as. And of course, they believe throwing everyone else to the Leopards to assure their own safety.

what is happening in the UK with the far right protests is absolutely terrifying. all from misinformation which has fuelled an ongoing racist agenda

but on a brighter note people are coming together to fight back. peacefully.

Here's a story that may be overlooked because of the terrorist incident in New Orleans and the exploding Tesla in Las Vegas.

A MAGA nut named Brad Spafford has been arrested for stockpiling a large cache homemade explosives at his garage near Norfolk, Virginia.

Federal agents in the US found one of the largest stockpiles of homemade explosives they have ever seized when they arrested a Virginia man on a firearms charge last month, according to a court filing by federal prosecutors. Investigators seized more than 150 pipe bombs and other homemade devices when they searched the home of Brad Spafford north-west of Norfolk in December, the prosecutors said in a motion filed on Monday. The prosecutors wrote that this is believed to be “the largest seizure by number of finished explosive devices in FBI history”.

FYI: the FBI dates back almost a century. So that covers a lot of history.

Most of the bombs were found in a detached garage at the home in Isle, along with tools and bomb-making materials including fuses and pieces of plastic pipe, according to court documents. The prosecutors also wrote: “Several additional apparent pipe bombs were found in a backpack in the home’s bedroom, completely unsecured,” in the home he shares with his wife and two young children. Spafford, 36, was charged with possession of a firearm in violation of the National Firearms Act. Law enforcement officers allege he owned an unregistered short barrel rifle. Prosecutors said that he faces “numerous additional potential charges” related to the explosives.

The FBI was tipped off about Spafford by a concerned citizen.

The informant, a friend, told authorities Spafford had disfigured his hand in 2021 while working on homemade explosives. Prosecutors said he only has two fingers on his right hand. The informant told authorities that Spafford was using pictures of the president, an apparent reference to Joe Biden, for target practice and that “he believed political assassinations should be brought back”, prosecutors wrote. Numerous law enforcement officers and bomb technicians searched the property on 17 December. The agents located the rifle and the explosive devices, some of which had been hand-labeled as “lethal” and some of which were loaded into a wearable vest, court documents state. Technicians detonated most of the devices on site because they were deemed unsafe to transport, though several were kept for analysis.

Spafford is a determined wannabe domestic terrorist. He even continued to manufacture explosives after accidentally blowing off three fingers on his right hand.

Donald Trump has nominated the notoriously unqualified Kash Patel to head the FBI. More worryingly, Patel pals around with the far right and has made threatening remarks against journalists and political opponents. Among Trump's pack of loathsome nominees, Patel stands out as the worst. He would likely ignore domestic terrorists.

Okay, so I read that first chapter about as soon as you posted it and the implications!? I didn't understand why, at first, beyond sadism why the exterminators would be so slow to kill the omega that came before Alastor. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but the way I read it made it seem like the reason why they teared them apart was because of how the pheromones make sinners fight against each other. In that, they were a bunch of possessesive bastarsd that each wanted a piece to themselves.

Also, the way you wrote the ending from Alastors fear to calm and then that horrified realization! It was just delicious, and I look forward to seeing more.

Most of it was sadism on the Exorcists part. They're not affected by an omegas pheromones like betas and alpha's are. They can smell them, but they can't tell them apart from an alpha, beta, or omega. Omegas just have a really powerful scent that's easy to follow.

When they found that omega specifically, it turned into a game when she started running from them. They were essentially toying with her for the sake of toying with her. It really was just a game to them.

However, you're not far off about how the pheromones make sinners want to fight each other and how that affects the Exorcists long-term. That's something that's gonna come up later ;)

Hehe thank you! I really wanted to drive home just how little control he has and how subtle the heat takes over. It starts out with him rationalizing his own decisions and convincing himself that this is how he wants to respond, so his pheromones are manipulating him as well as whoever is with him. It's why Alastor tracks his cycle so carefully, so that he knows what signs to look for and he's not blind-sided and taken over by his heat.

Thank you for reading :3 I've been wanting to post some Adam/Alastor for a while now and it's been a lot of fun worldbuilding for this AU. I can't wait to post more >.<

Cannot stress enough that seemingly not even Fitzjames could get the men to relinquish their guns once they had them.

He hurries out to meet Crozier's returning party saying that he stepped in but arms had already been issued and clearly he wasn't able to get them all returned. It's only later, with an order from Crozier and cooperation from multiple officers and trusted men that that happens.

And if cool, confident, second-in-command-of-the-entire-expedition, highest-ranking-officer-left-in-the-whole-camp, dude-who's-been-directly-overseeing-like-90%-of-those-men-for-the-past-god-knows-how-long James Fitzjames couldn't do it, I ask you, what chance did poor sweet Nedward actually have?

Fuck, Israel committed three massacres in an hour and right-wing freaks are still blocking aid to Gaza

The fact that right-wingers are on the side of evil surprises no one, but THREE MASSACRES IN AN HOUR?

But probably "Because Hamas" again

the cradle is not a valid news source omfg.

There are a lot of shitty news sites out there. Fact-checking is free, but you'd never know it from looking at a lot of the articles that get traction on social media.

you would, however, increasingly see the far right embracing the left.

me, in a weary sing-song, every fucking time I see an outrage-clickbait headline: "what does the article actually say."

thecradle.co: "The US House of Representatives passed an amendment on 27 June barring State Department officials from citing the Gaza Health Ministry’s death toll of the ongoing Israeli war on the strip.... Sixty-two Democratic lawmakers voted in favor, as well as all but two Republicans."

me: "i thought the problem was that the UN had inexplicably started giving totals from the Gaza Media Office, which had WAY higher total deaths for women and children than the actual Health Ministry, and then everyone found out the Media Office was lying its ass off when the UN switched to the Health Ministry numbers. What's their reasoning?

"Is it the thing where almost 78% of their casualty numbers this spring came from unspecified media sources? Or is it because yes, the Ministry of Health's casualty numbers lined up pretty well with the UN's and Israel's in past wars, but this is the first time that the UN and NGOs haven't been verifying the death count in real time? Or that the Associated Press found hundreds of duplicate IDs in even the list of fully identified recent deaths from the Health Ministry? Wait, is it that the Ministry of Health has been claiming that like 75% of the deaths were women and children, but releasing detailed reports that show that it's really 38%-52%, depending on the month? ok fine maybe there's a reason that this was an almost unanimous vote."

thecradle.co: "...that's not relevant"

me: "...seems like it is tho"

thecradle.co: "we're not here to answer questions"

me: "..."

thecradle.co: "anYWAY, Rashida Tlaib is a real-life Palestinian-American and SHE said, 'Since 1948... there has been a coordinated effort, especially in this chamber, to dehumanize Palestinians and erase Palestinians from existence... [Israel's committing] genocide in Gaza, and in real time, and this amendment is an attempt to hide it … This is genocide denial.'"

me: "how has there been a coordinated effort in the senate to erase Palestinians from existence for 76 years? the u.s. is the largest provider of foreign aid to palestine on earth. i've literally read the entire detailed record of the 1950 senate hearing on Palestinian refugees--"

thecradle.co: "again, i am NOT TAKING QUESTIONS, I am just TELLING YOU--"

me: "okay, okay, geeze"

thecradle.co: "my point is that she said, 'My colleagues want to prohibit our own US officials from even citing the Palestinian death toll. So let me read it into the record. Here are the latest casualties of Palestinians killed: 37,718 Palestinians, including more than 15,000 Palestinian children and more than 86,377 Palestinians have been injured.'"

me: "isn't that the old, blatantly incorrect, two-times-too-high number of deaths of Palestinian children, from the Gaza MEDIA Office? Not the Health Ministry? omg, it IS. The media office is claiming 15,002 children, and a total of 44,844 total deaths. You can only even find that shit printed in Al Mayadeen, which is also a fake news site."

thecradle.co: "I don't know that kind of stuff. I just report the facts."

me: "sure, if the fact is that she lied. wait. she's upset that they're telling the State Department not to use the Health Ministry's numbers and SHE'S not even using the Health Ministry's numbers? was she even listening?"

thecradle.co: "...In November 2023, US Assistant Secretary of State for Near East Affairs, Barbara Leaf, said when asked about skepticism over the Gaza Health Ministry death toll that the numbers could actually be higher."

me: "did you actually just close by quoting someone speculating wildly nine months ago?"

thecradle.co: "listen, our about page makes it very clear that we are definitely journalists and we definitely aren't owned by anybody, and we will expose whatever shocking truths we want."

me: "...so...."

thecradle.co: "...did you hear that ben gvir is the most hated man on earth?" me: "i thought you claimed to report the NEWS."

anyway, I am just as thrilled as always to see my united states elected representatives getting their info from the least reputable sources possible. and then being signal boosted by the least reputable sources possible.

it's almost as thrilling as the knowledge that people react to "hey that's not true" as if you'd just murdered a Palestinian civilian right in front of them, instead of as if you were telling them that thousands of Palestinian children thought dead were still alive.
