BFRB Resources for Struggles Like Ours

These resources vary from reliable sites and blogs to published journal articles, professional papers, books, and more. If you have any recommendations for me, feel free to Submit something.

A separate post for tips, tricks, and non-affiliate product recommendations will be linked here as soon as I've posted it.

Now then, some of you may be wondering...

What is a BFRB?

Body-focused repetitive behaviors are among the most poorly understood, underdiagnosed, and untreated group of mental health disorders.

According to the TLC Foundation for BFRBs:

"Body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) include any repetitive self-grooming behavior that involves biting, pulling, picking, or scraping one’s own hair, skin, lips, cheeks, or nails that can lead to physical damage to the body and have been met with multiple attempts to stop or decrease the behavior."

(From the TLC Foundation's webpage, "What is a BFRB?")

The PickingMe Foundation says:

"BFRB's are self-grooming behaviors in which individuals pull, pick, scrape, or bite their own hair, skin, or nails, resulting in damage to the body. Many people are more familiar with its sister disorder, Trichotillomania - Hair Pulling Disorder."

(From the PickingMe Foundation's webpage, "What is Dermatillomania?")

The Recovery Village describes BFRBs as:

"Body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) are a group of mental health conditions that cause people to bite, pick, pull or scrape their skin, hair or nails compulsively. While some people with BFRBs have awareness and insight into their behaviors, others do them automatically. BFRBs are often linked with disorders like anxiety or substance abuse. Treatment is essential for people with BFRBs, but many often hide evidence of these harmful actions and have trouble asking for help."

(From The Recovery Village's webpage, "Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors")

According to Angela Hartlin's skin-picking support website:

Body- Focused Repetitive Behaviours (BFRB’s) “is an umbrella term for any chronic behavior that causes a person to consistently cause physical damage to oneself unintentionally through a compulsive act in order to relieve anxiety.” The key difference between BFRB and other compulsive behaviours that cause harm to the body is that BFRBs are characterised by direct body-to-body contact. The website goes on to list other BFRBs such as: hair-pulling disorder (trichotillomania), hair eating disorder (trichophagia), skin biting disorder (dermatophagia), nail biting disorder (onychophagia), and nose picking disorder (rhinotillexomania).

Getting BFRBs officially classified as disorders has been a long, slow process that only hurts those of us who struggle with them daily, as treatments and available resources relating to BFRBs can be very difficult to find. That's the reason why I'm composing this. I'll keep updating this post to the best of my abilities, both for myself and for anyone else it might help.

The good news is that while progress may be slow, there is still progress. Dermatillomania was finally added to the DSM-V-TR under the same OCD-Related Disorders umbrella as Trichotillomania, which has been a big step in the right direction. The more awareness brought to BFRBs, the sooner more can be recognized for what they are so the people suffering from them can receive proper medical and psychiatric help where necessary.

Are BFRBs a type of self-harm?

No.

While the two are not mutually exclusive, the general consensus seems to be that where self-harm is voluntary, BFRBs are grooming behaviors that have gone awry to the point that they are categorized as "OCD-Related Behaviors" in the DSM-V-TR due to their compulsory nature. These behaviors may or may not be driven or worsened by anxiety.

In the case of BFRBs, even though these behaviors cause varying degrees of bodily harm, they're ultimately driven by impulses and urges that cannot easily be controlled. Quite often the triggering event is discovering a physical imperfection in any way for any reason and attempting to "fix" it, despite the behavior being counterintuitive to the goal. The resulting behavior can occur actively or passively, with severe active episodes usually likened to being held hostage in your own body.

There is no desire to harm and very little ability to stop, and then all of it is followed by distressing feelings such as shame, guilt, or embarrassment. We try so hard to "break the habit" that we ultimately beat ourselves up mentally for "failing" yet again. Even though many of us might know we can't control it, it's too easy to blame ourselves for something we feel is somehow our fault.

[Please be advised the purple paragraphs below are personal examples with a few details that may be triggering for some.]

For example, the only way I can come out of bad episodes is when my bodily literally cannot continue. This may look like my back giving out from leaning on the counter in the bathroom, or my legs going completely numb from sitting for too long, or (much more commonly) my fingers or nailbeds hurt too much for me to keep using them, regardless of how much I may or may not have bled.

This is always followed up by what I call the "walk of shame" phase as I clean up every injury, apply Neosporin or other balms/salves, and bandage what I can. I've burst into tears before when I had to use Neosporin like it was lotion in order to cover everything, because I had too many wounds on my arms to be able to safely apply bandages/plasters.

No part of that process, from the trigger response to the cleanup, is something I want to do. If I had a say in it, I'd never pick or bite ever again, and my skin would finally be able to heal.

Self-harm, on the other hand, is a term reserved for bodily harm that is deliberately inflicted on oneself, usually as a way of dealing with difficult emotions, memories, situations, or experiences. Instead of acting on an uncontrollable compulsion, this type of harm stems from a different set of triggers, many of which relate to trauma or other disorders. This makes the behavior more of an unhealthy coping mechanism for people in pain who are desperate for release from those feelings.

Note: If you are unsure if your behaviors are a result of a BFRB or self-harm, Crisis Text Line is a good resource:

"Self-harm is serious. And, while the intention behind self-harm usually is not death, it can still be dangerous—both physically and emotionally. Talking to someone who can help you find alternatives is incredibly important. Of course, you can start by texting us. Also, consider telling someone you know who can help you connect with a professional."

General BFRB Resources:

Sites:

The TLC Foundation - "The TLC Foundation for Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors helps end isolation and shame for people experiencing hair pulling, skin picking, nail biting, cheek biting, and associated behaviors." They feature a robust website full of information on all BFRBs, including "Medications for BFRBs" and "Evidence-based Therapeutic Treatment for BFRBs."

We publish material that is researched, cited, edited and reviewed by licensed medical professionals." (BFRB-specific information can be found here.)

SkinPick.Com - While this site is centered around skin picking/excoriation disorder/dermatillomania, they have excellent resources for other BFRBs as well, including their Glossary page, "Complete List of BFRBs," and the blog section for "Related Disorders." I have also listed their site in the Dermatillomania section below.

Onychophagia:

Not every instance of nail-biting is considered onychophagia. Most nail-biting behavior dissipates over time. It’s when it doesn’t that the behavior requires a closer look. Chronic nail-biting is categorized as an obsessive-compulsive related disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5-TR).

Dermatophagia:

Formerly referred to as "wolf-biting," dermatophagia has yet to be recognized as a diagnosable disorder.

SkinPick's blog post, "Do you eat your own skin after picking? There's a name for that."

SkinPick's blog post, "Dermatophagia - What is it?"

Dermatillomania:

Dermatillomania means “Skin Pulling Madness,” and has only been diagnosable since 2013. It is currently classified as an “Obsessive-Compulsive and related disorder” in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), where it is listed as Excoriation Disorder. However, it is known by many names, such as: Skin Picking Disorder, Compulsive Skin Picking, Acne Excoriée, Pathological Excoriation, Neurotic Excoriation, Pathological Skin Picking, and Psychogenic Excoriation. The many names for this disorder cause interference with its understanding and awareness.

Dermatillomania is often confused with other conditions. Common misdiagnoses result because the picking behavior is a result of a medical condition, confused with OCD, Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) and in some cases, Non-suicidal Self-Injury (NSSI).

PickingMe Foundation - "Picking Me Foundation NFP is the only donor-supported non-profit dedicated to advocating for Dermatillomania (Skin Picking Disorder) sufferers, supporters, and educational communities alike, encouraging individuals to choose themselves over the mental illness that chose them by #PickingMe over Skin-Picking."

There are more BFRBs than this out there, but I don't have the resources gathered for them yet. Hopefully the General resources help! I'll update this as I have time. In the meantime, I wish you all luck on your BFRB journeys.

..."Within hours of the indictment news, several of Trump’s Republican challengers rushed to his defense, accusing President Biden and his Justice Department of weaponizing the legal system in an effort to take out one of his chief political opponents and the ostensible head of the Republican Party.

It’s a difficult predicament for the ever-growing field of Republican presidential hopefuls, but one that underscores a powerful dynamic within the modern GOP. Despite a long list of scandals, Trump remains a beloved figure among the party’s conservative base, and failing to defend him in the face of his legal troubles could prove potentially damaging to 2024 contenders.

“Republicans fundamentally hate unfairness on the left and unfairness in government,” said Bryan Lanza, who worked on Trump’s 2016 campaign and remains close to the former president’s team. “What works for Trump it’s the fact that since 2015 there’s been a dual system in American politics and American media. There’s everybody else and a normal set of rules. And then there’s Donald Trump and a different set of rules.”

“It’s where the GOP is when they see this,” he added. “It’s an organic feeling within the GOP that it’s a two-pronged system.”

That argument — that Trump has been held to a different standard than other politicians — has so far dominated the conversation among the party’s 2024 contenders.

Vivek Ramaswamy, an entrepreneur who’s seeking the GOP’s 2024 nod, condemned what he called “two tiers of justice: one for Trump on government document retention, another for Biden.” He acknowledged that it would be “easier for me to win this election if Trump weren’t in the race,” but cast his defense of the former president as a matter of principle.

Likewise, another 2024 contender, Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), decried the “weaponization of the Department [of] Justice against a former president” over the course of several years.

“You don’t have to be a Republican to see injustice and want to fix it,” Scott said during an interview on Fox News on Thursday evening. “You don’t have to be a Democrat to see injustice and want to fix it. You just have to be an American and stand up for the right thing.”

Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley chimed in on Friday, claiming that the indictment was an example of “prosecutorial overreach, double standards, and vendetta politics” in the U.S. justice system.

Perhaps the most telling response to the indictment came from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Trump’s most serious challenger for the 2024 Republican nomination. In a Thursday night tweet, he hammered the indictment as politically motivated and vowed to go after the Justice Department if elected to the White House.

“The weaponization of federal law enforcement represents a mortal threat to a free society,” DeSantis, who has feuded bitterly with Trump in recent weeks, wrote. “We have for years witnessed an uneven application of the law depending upon political affiliation.”

DeSantis’s quick response to the indictment, coming just a few hours after the news broke, marked an about-face from how he handled Trump’s indictment in Manhattan earlier this year over an alleged hush money scheme. After that indictment, DeSantis remained silent for days before he was eventually goaded into a defense of the former president.

“I think the fact that he was quick to the draw this time — it’s an acknowledgement that you can’t just wait and see where things go,” one Republican strategist said. “You might be running against Trump, but this is an animating issue for the base. They see it as a right-vs.-wrong thing.”

So far, only one 2024 Republican, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, has called for Trump to end his campaign in the face of the latest indictment, arguing that the charges would be “a major distraction” in the presidential contest.

Yet even candidates who have positioned themselves as Trump critics have taken a more cautious approach. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a Trump-ally-turned-critic, said he would wait to see “what the facts are when any possible indictment is released.”

“As I have said before, no one is above the law, no matter how much they wish they were,” Christie wrote on Twitter. “We will have more to say when the facts are revealed.”

In Nine Black Robes, the new book by CNN Supreme Court reporter Joan Biskupic, I am never mentioned by name. I am referred to only as “another boy.” Biskupic suggests, as many others on the Left have over the past few years, that I was “the boy” in the room when a teenage Brett Kavanaugh allegedly sexually assaulted a girl named Christine Blasey Ford in the summer of 1982. 

 The Ford accusation exploded in the fall of 2018, when Kavanaugh was a nominee for the Supreme Court. I had no recollection of the alleged assault and describe the nightmare of the accusations against me and my teenage friend in my book The Devil’s Triangle: Mark Judge vs. the New American Stasi , which was published last November.*** 

 I reveal extortion attempts, media manipulation, witness tampering, and even a sexual honey trap, all to destroy me and Brett Kavanaugh. I talk about Leland Keyser, Ford’s friend who denied the alleged assault ever happened and went on to say that she was pressured to change her story.***https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/fairness-justice/a-new-anti-kavanaugh-book-doesnt-mention-me-by-name-heres-why

Once again, you don’t own the CLAS material you see at work. Not yours. 

WaPo has some details about the gamer who has leaked U.S. secrets. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/04/12/discord-leaked-documents/  Including:

The man behind a massive leak of U.S. government secrets that has exposed spying on allies, revealed the grim prospects for Ukraine’s war with Russia and ignited diplomatic fires for the White House is a young, charismatic gun enthusiast who shared highly classified documents with a group of far-flung acquaintances searching for companionship amid the isolation of the pandemic. 

United by their mutual love of guns, military gear and God, the group of roughly two dozen — mostly men and boys — formed an invitation-only clubhouse in 2020 on Discord, an online platform popular with gamers. But they paid little attention last year when the man some call “OG” posted a message laden with strange acronyms and jargon. The words were unfamiliar, and few people read the long note, one of the members explained. But he revered OG, the elder leader of their tiny tribe, who claimed to know secrets that the government withheld from ordinary people.*** 

OG told his online companions that the government hid horrible truths from the public. He claimed, according to the members, that the government knew in advance that a white supremacist intended to go on a shooting rampage at a Buffalo supermarket in May 2022. The attack left 10 dead, all of them Black, and wounded three more. OG said federal law enforcement officials let the killings proceed so they could argue for increased funding, a baseless notion that the member said he believes and considers an example of OG’s penetrating insights about the depth of government corruption. [emphasis added] 

OG’s group itself had a dark side. The Discord server’s eventual name, Thug Shaker Central, was a racist allusion, and signaled to members that they were free to hurl epithets and crude jokes. The young member expressed some regret for their behavior but seemed to shrug off the offensive remarks as a clumsy attempt at humor.*** 

All winter, OG uploaded documents to the server. No one talked about sharing them elsewhere. Then, unbeknown to the group, on Feb. 28, another teenage user from the Thug Shaker Central server began posting several dozen photographs showing classified documents on another Discord server affiliated with the YouTuber “wow_mao.” Some of the documents offered detailed assessments of Ukraine’s defense capabilities and showed how far U.S. intelligence could see into Russia’s military command. 

On March 4, 10 documents appeared on “Minecraft Earth Map,” a Discord server focused on the popular video game. A user operating the account that posted the smaller tranche of images told The Post they obtained them on wow_mao.***

Massachusetts Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira was arrested at his mother’s house Thursday after being implicated in the disclosure of dozens of sensitive US intelligence documents to an online community devoted to video games and guns — the biggest national security breach in at least 10 years.

Law enforcement officers swarmed the home in North Dighton, Mass. about 20 miles east of Providence, RI, hours after multiple reports sketched out Teixeira’s key role in a Discord channel called “Thug Shaker Central,” where the files first popped up earlier this year.

News helicopter footage showed Teixeira, clad in red basketball shorts and a gray t-shirt, surrendering to camo-clad FBI agents. He was scheduled to make an initial appearance in Boston federal court Friday, where Attorney General Merrick Garland said the airman would face charges connected to “alleged unauthorized removal, retention, and transmission of classified national defense information.”

Air Force records listed Teixeira’s occupation as a Cyber Transport Systems Journeyman, responsible for the upkeep of hardware for military communications networks, including cabling and hubs.***  https://nypost.com/2023/04/13/national-guardsman-jack-teixeira-arrested-in-us-intel-leaks/

Frederick County Sheriff Charles "Chuck" Jenkins announced a leave of absence Wednesday after being indicted by a grand jury for an alleged machine gun operation last week.*** Jenkins will not be held in prison before his trial, but he was required to surrender his firearms. Jenkins and 36-year-old Robert Justin Krop, who was also indicted, allegedly engaged in a fraudulent operation for seven years. Krop, who owns a gun range, allegedly falsified documents under the sheriff's letterhead, saying the machine guns would be used for demonstrations at Jenkins's office. Jenkins then signed the documents, even though he knew there would be no demonstration, according to the indictment.

The Babylon Bee is suing California's attorney general

In 2022, California passed an unconstitutional censorship law called AB 587. We're suing to stop its enforcement. I’ve tried to anticipate your questions below. If you have more, just drop them in the comments where they’ll be easily ignored.

What’s AB 587?

AB 587 is a new law in California that regulates social media companies. It requires Big Tech platforms to provide periodic reporting to the California Attorney General on several categories of speech, including misinformation, disinformation, extremism, radicalization, and hate speech. If the platforms don’t provide adequate reporting, the state will impose fines to compel compliance.***

AB 587 is online at https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB587

Man Pleads Guilty to Coercing Children to Engage in Sexual Activity

A District of Columbia man pleaded guilty today to coercing multiple children to engage in unlawful sexual activity, including through online sextortion.

According to court documents, Glenn Matthews, 33, used his Instagram account to communicate with multiple minors over several months in 2020. During that time, Matthews sent sexually explicit images and videos of himself to at least 10 different minors, who were between the ages of 9 and 16. He enticed at least one of the minors to create images of themselves engaged in sexual activity. Matthews also sought to meet up with the minors to engage in sexual activity. In some instances, Matthews took screenshots of his conversations with the minor victims and threatened to expose the minors to their friends if they did not comply with his demands.  [emphasis added]

Matthews pleaded guilty to coercion and enticement of a minor and second‑degree child sexual abuse in violation of D.C. law. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 6 and faces a mandatory minimum penalty of 10 years in prison. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.*** https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/man-pleads-guilty-coercing-children-engage-sexual-activity

A Texas man was reportedly sentenced to 70 years in prison for spitting at Lubbock police officers during an arrest last May.

Cops picked up Larry Pearson, 36, on domestic violence charges after he allegedly hit a woman several times in the face, leaving her with “multiple visible injuries,” according to EverythingLubbock.com.

Pearson allegedly got angry when officers didn’t arrest the victim, and started kicking the door of the police cruiser. When two cops opened the door to demand he stop, Pearson spat at them and kept doing so even after he got to the Lubbock County Detention Center, the website said.*** https://nypost.com/2023/04/13/texas-man-sentenced-to-70-years-in-prison-for-spitting-at-cops/

Statistically, it will be someone you know who murders you

California police have arrested a self-described tech entrepreneur in connection with the stabbing death of Silicon Valley mogul Bob Lee, the founder of Cash App and an executive at Square and MobileCoin who was killed last week.

San Francisco jail records show that Nima Momeni, 38, was booked around 9:20 a.m. Thursday on a charge of first-degree murder. District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said she had also filed a special circumstance allegation that the crime had been committed with a knife.

A LinkedIn profile in Momeni's name identifies the IT professional as the owner of an outsourcing firm called Expand-IT.***

"We can confirm that Mr. Lee and Mr. Momeni knew each other; however, we will not be able to provide further details at this time regarding the evidence," San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott said during a Thursday afternoon news briefing.

He said police served two search warrants in San Francisco and another in Emeryville, where they arrested Momeni at his home, across the bay from where Lee was seen on shocking surveillance video stumbling and cradling his wounded side before police arrived last week.*** https://www.foxnews.com/us/who-is-nima-momeni-suspect-bob-lee-stabbing-san-francisco

Khazar Momeni with her husband Dino Elyassnia Twitter

During the previous afternoon, Lee spent time with Momeni's sister [Khazar] and a witness, who identified him or herself as a close friend of Lee, prosecutors said.

Later in the day, at Lee's hotel room, he had a conversation with Momeni in which he asked Lee about whether his sister was "doing drugs or anything inappropriate," the witness told the police, according to the document. [emphasis added]

Lee reassured Momeni that nothing inappropriate had taken place, the witness said to police.

Early the following morning, at about 2 a.m., camera footage showed Lee and Momeni leaving Lee's hotel and getting into Momeni's car, a BMW Z4, prosecutors said.

Video shows the BMW drive to a secluded and dark area where the two men got out of the car. Momeni "moved toward" Lee and the BMW drove away from the scene at high speed, according to the court document.

Police later found a roughly 4-inch blade at the scene that appeared to have blood on it, the document said.

The doctor who conducted the autopsy found that Lee had been stabbed three times, including one strike that penetrated his heart, the document said.*** https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/suspect-allegedly-drove-bob-lee-to-dark-area-stabbed-him-3-times-with-kitchen-knife/ar-AA19Pi80

Dangerous speech is worse when it’s polite

We love to be creatures of logic. Somewhere in middle school, and increasingly more as we climbed through high school and into college, we started to embrace logical discussion as the best way to solve conflicts. Debate, Model UN and Mock Trial come to mind when I think about how eager we are to be logical, to debate our ideas and exercise our minds. And that’s how it’s done in the adult world too; politicians debate policy, lawyers argue back and forth in court and news channels invite experts to discuss contemporary issues. Especially in the United States, where we tout our freedom of speech so loudly, we’ve made it a point of pride to always make space for listening to ideas, no matter how different they might be from our own. We invite the opportunity to pick apart each other’s line of thinking in a reciprocal, respectful exchange. We call it respectful, logical conversation and we think ourselves quite civilized for it. Sometimes, though, the debate can be the problem itself. Some arguments aren’t worth engaging with, and quite frankly are dangerous for even existing.***

“Would you like to discuss this? Let’s talk about it respectfully,” they insisted. “We can debate about this.” Their smug civility was infuriating; their invitations for debate, inflammatory. I could barely seethe out my opinion about the misogyny of holding such a debate at all; simpering, the male students gestured to the only female student with them. Their wide, innocent eyes asked the unspoken question: how could they possibly be misogynist when one of their club members was a woman?*** https://yaledailynews.com/blog/2023/04/11/nam-abort-the-conversation/

California being California-crazy

In case you wonder how deeply pro-criminal sentiments have permeated the California Democratic Party , the state is now seriously considering letting its worst murderers out of prison after serving just 20 years.

A bill introduced in the California legislature invalidates the death sentences or life without parole sentences for criminals convicted of murder with special circumstances before June 5, 1990. This means that murderers who “killed multiple victims or killed in concert with a rape, robbery, kidnapping or torture” would be eligible for release after serving just 20 years behind bars.

Bills introduced in state legislatures are not themselves newsworthy, as any single loon can introduce absurd proposals that have no chance of passing. But this bill has six co-authors in the legislature, including the state’s most destructive legislator, state Sen. Scott Wiener. The bill was referred to the state Senate’s Appropriations Committee on Tuesday and is supported by a who’s who of California identity advocacy organizations and criminal justice “reform” groups.*** https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/fairness-justice/california-considers-letting-its-worst-murderers-serve-just-20-years-in-prison

I came to the U.S. prizing its freedoms. But I found that this nation’s most powerful people value something else entirely.

By Yeonmi Park

March 22, 2023

*** I was sure that they would help spread the word about the modern-day holocaust taking place in North Korea, about the fact that it is being aided and abetted by the Chinese Communist Party, and that tens and even hundreds of thousands of mostly female North Korean defectors are being sold, raped, and otherwise harmed in China. 

In a word, that isn’t what happened. It turned out that the purpose of a conference like Women in the World was not to mobilize financial capital and political power among people who are fortunate enough to possess it in order to help people suffering in places like China and North Korea; it was—if there was any point at all—to passionately discuss the suffering of women in America. 

The word oppression here was defined to mean things like making ninety cents on the dollar compared with men, or being only the vice president of a Fortune 500 company rather than the CEO, or how male-dominated office culture doesn’t make it safe for women to cry. As much as I tried to have compassion, I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. ***

I boarded the plane with famous actors and writers whose names I don’t recall, but I do remember one guest, who introduced himself as Harvey Weinstein. I had no clue who he was, but my fiancé told me that he was a very famous film producer. It was, naturally enough, my first time on a private jet, and I’d never seen such a beautiful plane in my life. At the private airport we departed from, there was no security or baggage check. It was a sunny but chilly day, and I came straight from a morning class at Columbia. 

By this time I’d learned more about Bezos, who was evidently not just the CEO of Amazon but one of the wealthiest and most powerful people on the face of the earth. I boarded his plane with the same hope I harbored taking the stage at the Women in the World conference: I was confident that with his help, I was going to find a way to improve the lot of North Koreans—if not the ones trapped in the country itself then at least some of the 300,000 defectors in China, where I’d heard Bezos did a lot of his business. In my view, it wouldn’t take much; the mere acknowledgment of what was happening to my people in China by someone like Bezos might have a ripple effect, convincing other American investors to put pressure on Beijing to reduce its support for Pyongyang. 

This was, of course, before I’d learned that the power dynamic goes the other way around: that American investors and businesspeople are far more dependent on the Chinese market than the Chinese government is on them. Even Jeff Bezos, the world’s wealthiest man, made his billions by building a company that—whatever its other merits and considerable achievements—essentially serves as a storefront for Chinese sellers and products. Bezos, it turned out, also owned the Washington Post. Go figure. https://www.thefp.com/p/from-slavery-in-north-korea-to-jeff

The women described from behind bars their fears at being housed with biological men who identify as women.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein is no longer able to perform her duties as a U.S. senator. That is, at least, the reality according to her staff, who asked the Senate majority leader to temporarily replace her on the Judiciary Committee as she approaches two months of absence over health issues.

This isn’t surprising, of course: Dianne Feinstein is 89 years old. While Americans used to joke about the fossils who ran the Soviet Union in the 1980s, Feinstein was already a full decade older than the oldest Soviet premier to ever die in office when she ran for re-election — a full five years ago.

Her mental decline has been known on Capitol Hill for years, with staff guiding her around the halls, and yet still just this year Sen. Chuck Schumer decided to let her remain on the Senate committee responsible for accomplishing the president’s judicial agenda.

She served on that committee until early March. Then finally, after six weeks away recovering from shingles, her California colleague, Rep. Ro Khanna, publicly called for her resignation. Democrats like Khanna had grown weary — between Feinstein and Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman, the party’s judicial agenda had been stalled since the top of March.

Hours after Khanna’s tweet, she asked to be temporarily replaced in her duties on the essential committee. Democrats are eager to comply.

But are Republicans so eager? They shouldn’t be. There’s zero reason — zero — that Republicans should cooperate with Schumer and the president on their judicial agenda, either tactically, politically, or even morally.

Republicans have the power, too: Committee assignments are decided at the beginning of the session, either by unanimous consent or, if contested, by the vote of at least 60 senators. Democrats certainly hope they can just brush this through under the former, but what reason does Sen. Josh Hawley, or maybe Sen. Mike Lee, or Sen. J.D. Vance have to let that one pass them by?***  https://thefederalist.com/2023/04/14/there-is-zero-reason-for-republicans-to-cooperate-with-dianne-feinsteins-request/

Ensure you kick the right door

A 35-year-old East Street resident [Tim Yergeau] suspected of involvement in child pornography was found dead in his apartment Tuesday five days after police surprise-searched his apartment — as part of a raid that began with cops busting down the wrong door and handcuffing an innocent neighbor.

Police Chief Karl Jacobson said the man was found unresponsive in his second floor apartment in East Rock Tuesday after a person called the department to report his death around 8 a.m.

“It appears to be a suicide, but police are still investigating,” Jacobson said.

Cops executed a search warrant of the man’s home on East Street last Thursday in order to examine his electronic devices as part of a child pornography investigation. Jacobson did not provide additional details about any alleged offenses. The man was not arrested or taken into custody on Thursday. ​“It was an open investigation, so he knew he was going to be arrested,” Jacobson commented.

The raid itself took a wrong turn early Thursday morning when members of the city’s special victims unit invaded the wrong apartment before entering the intended location.

Stacey Wezenter, who lived on the floor above the now deceased man, said that she was woken up at 6 a.m. on Thursday by a crew of cops breaking down her door, pointing guns and flashlights in her direction and handcuffing her — before they realized they had, in fact, gone to the wrong apartment. They had intended to take down the door of Wezenter’s downstairs neighbor instead.*** https://www.newhavenindependent.org/article/search_warrant

Going to the right address helps

Police in New Mexico have released body camera footage after officers shot and killed a homeowner and shot at the man's wife earlier this month while responding to the wrong address.

On April 5, at about 11:30 p.m., the Farmington Police Department's dispatch sent officers to 5308 Valley View Avenue due to a domestic violence call. However, officers walked past the correct house, which was illuminated by an outside light, up to the front door of 5305 Valley View Avenue, knocked on the door, and announced themselves. It was only minutes later that shots were fired.

In the body camera footage, officers can be heard repeatedly announcing who they are, but they receive no response. They then ask a dispatcher to confirm the address. The dispatcher tells them the correct address, "5308," which was diagonal from the house where they were knocking.

Shortly after, the homeowner, Robert Dotson, 52, opened the door with a handgun, and the officers immediately began shooting as they backed away. After the officers' shots, Dotson dropped to the ground.*** https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/police-body-camera-footage-shooting-homeowner-wrong-address

Two Arrested for Operating Illegal Overseas Police Station of the Chinese Government

Defendants Are New York City Residents Who Allegedly Operated the Police Station in Lower Manhattan and Destroyed Evidence When Confronted by the FBI

A complaint was unsealed today in federal court in Brooklyn, New York, charging two defendants in connection with opening and operating an illegal overseas police station, located in lower Manhattan, New York, for a provincial branch of the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). “Harry” Lu Jianwang, 61, of the Bronx, and Chen Jinping, 59, of Manhattan, were arrested earlier this morning at their homes in New York City. Their initial appearances are scheduled this afternoon in Brooklyn before U.S. Magistrate Judge Ramon E. Reyes Jr.

As alleged in the complaint, Lu and Chen are charged with conspiring to act as agents of the PRC government as well as obstructing justice by destroying evidence of their communications with an MPS official. The defendants worked together to establish the first overseas police station in the United States on behalf of the Fuzhou branch of the MPS. The police station – which closed in the fall of 2022 after those operating it became aware of the FBI’s investigation – occupied a floor in an office building in Manhattan’s Chinatown. While acting under the direction and control of an MPS Official, Lu and Chen helped open and operate the clandestine police station. None of the participants in the scheme informed the U.S. government that they were helping the PRC government surreptitiously open and operate an illegal MPS police station on U.S. soil.*** https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/two-arrested-operating-illegal-overseas-police-station-chinese-government

selling your location data to the popo

***According to a recent investigation from Electronic Frontier Foundation and The Associated Press, a company called Fog Data Science has been gathering Americans' location data and selling it exclusively to local law enforcement agencies in the United States. Fog Data Science's tool—a subscription-based platform that charges clients for queries of the company's database—is called Fog Reveal. And according to Bennett Cyphers, one of the investigators who uncovered Fog Reveal through a series of public record requests, it's rather powerful.

"What [Fog Data Science] sells is, I would say, like a God view mode for the world... It's a map and you draw a shape on the map and it will show you every device that was in that area during a specified timeframe."

Today, on the Lock and Code podcast with host David Ruiz, we speak to Cyphers about how he and his organization uncovered a massive data location broker that seemingly works only with local law enforcement, how that data broker collected Americans' data in the first place, where this data comes from, and why it is so easy to sell.

Well, one of my principles is shooting pedophiles

New legal principles launched on International Women’s Day to advance decriminalization efforts

08 MARCH 2023

The International Committee of Jurists (ICJ) along with UNAIDS and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) officially launched a new set of expert jurist legal principles to guide the application of international human rights law to criminal law.

The ‘8 March principles’ as they are called lay out a human rights-based approach to laws criminalising conduct in relation to sex, drug use, HIV, sexual and reproductive health, homelessness and poverty.*** https://www.unaids.org/en/resources/presscentre/featurestories/2023/march/20230308_new-legal-principles-decriminalization >>>

PRINCIPLE 16 – CONSENSUAL SEXUAL CONDUCT Consensual sexual conduct, irrespective of the type of sexual activity, the sex/ gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression of the people involved or their marital status, may not be criminalized in any circumstances.***

With respect to the enforcement of criminal law, any prescribed minimum age of consent to sex must be applied in a non-discriminatory manner. Enforcement may not be linked to the sex/gender of participants or age of consent to marriage. Moreover, sexual conduct involving persons below the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent to sex may be consensual in fact, if not in law. In this context, the enforcement of criminal law should reflect the rights and capacity of  persons under 18 years of age to make decisions about engaging in consensual sexual conduct and their right to be heard in matters concerning them. Pursuant to their evolving capacities and progressive autonomy, persons under 18 years of age should participate in decisions affecting them, with due regard to their age, maturity and best interests, and with specific attention to non-discrimination guarantees. https://icj2.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/8-MARCH-Principles-FINAL-printer-version-1-MARCH-2023.pdf

Why on earth would you think such a thing?

Gov. Kevin Stitt (R-OK) called for the resignation of multiple McCurtain County officials, including the sheriff, after leaked audio revealed troubling comments about lynching black people and killing two journalists.

Stitt said he was "appalled" at the conversation and called for the immediate resignations of Sheriff Kevin Clardy, investigator Alicia Manning, Commissioner Mark Jennings, and jail administrator Larry Hendrix.

“There is simply no place for such hateful rhetoric in the state of Oklahoma, especially by those that serve to represent the community through their respective office,” Stitt said in a statement on Sunday. “I will not stand idly by while this takes place." *** https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/justice/stitt-calls-for-resignation-county-officials

He has order Oklahoma’s Bureau of Investigation to investigate them.

By The Free Press April 18, 2023

On Monday, a Moscow court sentenced the journalist and activist Vladimir Kara-Murza to 25 years in prison for criticizing Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine.***

After two decades spent in Russian politics, after all that I have seen and experienced, I was sure that nothing could surprise me any more. I must admit that I was wrong.

I’ve been surprised by how far my trial, in its secrecy and contempt for legal norms, has surpassed even the “trials” of Soviet dissidents in the 1960s and 1970s. And that’s not even to mention the harsh sentence requested by the prosecution, or the talk of “enemies of the state.” In this respect, we’ve gone beyond the 1970s—all the way back to the 1930s.***

At one point during my testimony, the presiding judge reminded me that one of the extenuating circumstances in my case was “remorse for what [the accused] has done.” And although there is little that’s funny about my current situation, I couldn’t help but smile: a criminal, of course, must repent of his deeds. I’m in jail for my political views. For speaking out against the war in Ukraine. For many years of struggle against Vladimir Putin’s dictatorship. For facilitating the adoption of personal international sanctions under the Magnitsky Act against human rights violators.

Not only do I not repent of any of this, I am proud of it. I am proud that [assassinated opposition politician] Boris Nemtsov brought me into politics. And I hope that he is not ashamed of me. I support every word that I have spoken and every word of which I have been accused by this court. I blame myself for only one thing: that over the years of my political activity I have not managed to convince enough of my compatriots and enough politicians in democratic countries of the danger that the current regime in the Kremlin poses for Russia and for the world. Today this is obvious to everyone, but at a terrible price—the price of war.

In their last statements to the court, defendants usually ask for an acquittal. For a person who has not committed any crimes, acquittal would be the only fair verdict. But I do not ask this court for anything. I know the verdict. I knew it a year ago when I saw people in black uniforms and black masks running after my car in the rearview mirror. Such is the price for speaking up in Russia today. *** https://www.thefp.com/p/the-last-words-of-a-putin-critic

When the ship runs aground, do we fire the XO or the CO?

The Fulton County Jail in Georgia is transferring more than 600 inmates and releasing an emergency $500,000 expenditure to address overcrowding issues after a man with schizophrenia was allegedly eaten alive by bugs in his cell.

The move comes days after deceased inmate Lashawn Thompson's family filed a lawsuit against the jail after the 35-year-old, who had schizophrenia, was apparently eaten alive by bedbugs and other insects.

"It's no secret that the dilapidated and rapidly eroding conditions of the current facility make it incredibly difficult to meet the goal of providing a safe, clean, well-maintained and healthy environment for all inmates and staff," Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat said in a Sunday statement. "Without making explicit statements about Mr. Thompson's health, it's fair to say that this is one of many cases that illustrate the desperate need for expanded and better mental health services."

On Monday, Labat "asked for, received, and accepted the resignations of the Chief Jailer, Assistant Chief Jailer and Assistant Chief Jailer, Criminal Investigative Division," according to a press release.*** https://www.foxnews.com/us/georgia-jail-transfers-600-inmates-man-allegedly-eaten-alive-insects

charged w/ murder

FORT WORTH, Texas - The Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office says an inmate getting treated at the hospital punched a pregnant staff member, killing her unborn child.

It happened last Wednesday at JPS Hospital in Fort Worth.

The inmate, 39-year-old Cheri Akil, was being treated and restrained because she was potentially suicidal.

While the pregnant hospital staff member was standing next to Akil, authorities say she punched her in the stomach.*** https://www.fox4news.com/news/tarrant-county-inmate-charged-with-murder-after-punching-pregnant-hospital-staff-member

Law enforcement?  What’s that?

Police in southern California have again arrested a man they believe is responsible for over 70 commercial burglaries who is referred to as the "snake burglar" due to the way he crawls around properties.

In a press release, the Riverside Police Department said 32-year-old Christopher Michael Jackson was arrested on April 12 after a security system at a business alerted officers to a break-in. Police quickly arrived at the scene and found Jackson, who they "instantly recognized" as a "known serial burglar."***

Police believe that Jackson, who they say is a transient, is responsible for over 70 commercial burglaries since July 2021 and has been arrested on "numerous occasions" and was "recently ordered to serve six sentences of 16 months in jail after pleading guilty to 23 felonies."

However, the Facebook post says that laws related to jail overcrowding meant that Jackson served less than 10 days in jail. "Legislative changes over the past decade, including AB109, Prop 47 and Prop 57, have made it increasingly difficult to ensure the safety of our citizens, but that does not stop our tireless efforts to do so," Riverside Police Chief Larry Gonzalez said. *** https://www.foxnews.com/us/california-snake-burglar-set-free-after-10-days-in-jail-arrested-again-after-feasting-on-justice-system

Just another day in LA

A convicted Los Angeles felon is accused of murdering a 60-year-old man who volunteered to remove gang graffiti from a wall.

Jamal Jackson, 24, was out on probation when the Sunday shooting occurred, according to local sources.

Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) investigators are looking for additional victims to come forward after surveillance video footage showed Jackson exiting his white Toyota Camry near the 19100 block of Parthenia Street, where three other victims were helping paint over the gang graffiti on an ice cream shop.***

Jackson is a known gang member, according to FOX 11 Los Angeles, with a lengthy arrest history. He is currently being held without bail.*** https://www.foxnews.com/us/los-angeles-convicted-felon-accused-gunning-down-60-year-old-man-removing-gang-graffiti

The general rule is “that which is not prohibited is permitted;”  Feds turn it on its head

LAS VEGAS—Today, a customer and a small business owner filed a federal First Amendment lawsuit against the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) over a policy that prevents businesses from truthfully labeling their food products. Customer Michelle Przybocki and Gourmend Foods Founder Ketan Vakil teamed up with the Institute for Justice (IJ) to challenge the regulation that prevents businesses from truthfully labeling their products as low-FODMAP, an acronym for foods that are made with easily digestible ingredients.  

The government does not contend that these statements are false. The truthful information that Ketan and other business owners want to provide to customers like Michelle is banned only because it does not appear on the government’s outdated list of allowable “nutrient content claims.” Any nutrient content claims that are not on the list are forbidden.

“The government does not get to decide which facts consumers are allowed to learn,” said IJ Senior Attorney Justin Pearson. “Businesses have the right to tell the truth, and customers have a right to hear that truthful information. Banning factual information isn’t just harmful, it’s unconstitutional.”

In recent years, the low-FODMAP diet has become a popular option for people with sensitive stomachs. Easy to digest, low-FODMAP foods include eggs, meat, almond milk, oats, and quinoa. On the other hand, those on the low-FODMAP diet are encouraged to avoid dairy, onion, garlic, and other foods that can cause digestive discomfort.  *** https://ij.org/press-release/customer-small-business-owner-sue-usda-and-fda-over-policy-that-outlaws-truthfully-labeling-food-as-easy-to-digest/

In Colorado?

State and federal agents have dismantled an illegal marijuana trafficking operation based in Fort Collins and are preparing to make arrests, officials announced Wednesday in a news release.

The agents comprising the Northern Colorado Drug Task Force investigated for a year and obtained warrants to search five sites in Fort Collins. They recovered about 1,000 live marijuana plants, 200 pounds of processed marijuana products and byproducts, tens of thousands of dollars in cash and precious metals, multiple firearms, and evidence of tax evasion, the officials said.

“Arrests are pending,” officials said.***  https://www.denverpost.com/2023/04/19/fort-collins-marijuana-trafficking-operation/

DHS Official Has Office Raided, Covered in Crime Scene Tape

The head of the office that tracks cross-border threats — including fentanyl and cartel activity — was walked out by security and questioned on Monday, sources tell Rolling Stone

THE DEPARTMENT OF Homeland Security intelligence official in charge of tracking cross-border threats was escorted from his office on Monday by federal police and security after an afternoon search that left his office sealed with crime tape, according to four sources with direct knowledge of the events.

The official in question is Brian Sulc, executive director of the Transnational Organized Crime Mission Center at DHS’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis in Washington. Sulc has been placed on administrative leave. He is under investigation for an alleged security violation, bringing a personal electronic device inside the secure office, where phones and electronic devices are prohibited. He has not been arrested nor charged with a crime.

At about 4:15 p.m. on Monday, three squad cars from the Federal Protective Service — a DHS law-enforcement body tasked with protecting the department and federal buildings — drove into DHS’s northwest Washington complex with flashing lights. The FPS officers joined security on the third floor of the secure building to search Sulc’s office. While they were doing the search, Sulc was escorted out of the building flanked by security and FPS and taken to a different location on the DHS campus for questioning, two sources said.

The office has been sealed shut with crime tape, and evidence seals were placed around the door and across the keyhole so no one can enter.***  https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/dhs-official-office-searched-crime-tape-border-threats-1234717657/

Francisco Carrillo, who spent nearly two decades in prison before his wrongful conviction was overturned in 2011, announced his campaign for a congressional seat in California on Wednesday.

Carillo, who was featured on the Netflix documentary series The Innocence Files, is running to represent the 27th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives as a Democrat.

“I know what it feels like to be ignored, marginalized, forgotten about,” Carrillo said in his announcement video. “There are people who abuse their power and benefit from the system. Then there’s the rest of us. We play by the rules and get screwed by the same exact system. This is why I’m running for Congress against Rep. Mike Garcia [R-CA].”*** https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/man-two-decades-prison-runs-for-california-house-seat
