Mikie Sherrill for her signature.

ACLU Sues After Facial Recognition Falsely Identifies Florida Man As a Child Abductor
Topic: Men's Movement
Source: Reason
Police arrested a man in Florida for attempted child abduction in a town he had never visited, and the only evidence linking him to the crime was an AI facial recognition hit. Represented by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), he is now suing the officers and agencies who put him through it. [...] According to a police report, facial recognition software concluded with 93 percent confidence that the suspect was Robert Dillon. [...] The ACLU is now suing the city of Jacksonville Beach, as well as the individual police officers and officials involved in the case. According to the lawsuit (PDF), the responding officer viewed security camera footage of the suspect but didn't take a copy; instead, he took pictures of the screen with his cell phone. "In the photos, the suspect image is low resolution, and the suspect's face is partially shadowed and off-axis," the lawsuit claims. When an investigator queried the facial recognition system, it was with the officer's grainy secondhand cell phone photos.

as Organizers Call for Them to “Show Your Hate”. When hundreds of women gathered in San Antonio for Turning Point USA’s Women’s Leadership Summit, protesters assembled to denounce them and disrupt their conference. One speaker told protesters to be “obnoxious” and to “show your hate” as a man dressed as death chopped the air with a sickle. Another speaker said that they were just showing that the “hateful values” have no place in San Antonio as another man in a costume mimicked the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Below is an example of what happens when speakers feed this rage addiction.

Two recent studies argue that smartphones may have contributed to falling birthrates by reducing in-person social interaction, sexual frequency, and other conditions tied to unintended pregnancies. "One of the studies published in May is called 'The Collapse of Teen Fertility in the Digital Era' and the other, published just Monday, is titled 'Is the iPhone Birth Control? Causal Evidence from AT&T's 2007-2011 Carrier Monopoly,'" reports KTLA. "Both were chronicled in a New York Times piece by political writer Sabrina Tavernise on Monday."

Trafficking Carre Otis hopes complaint against Elite's Gerard Marie will spur others to come forward. Former American supermodel Carre Otis filed a complaint on Friday in a Paris court alleging she was raped and trafficked by Gerald Marie, the former European head of the Elite Model agency, in a move her lawyer said is meant to encourage other potential victims to come forward. Marie has denied the allegations and can't be prosecuted over Otis' case due to France's statute of limitations, per the AP. But the complaint could allow other women, whether their cases are time-barred or not, to join the proceedings, Otis' lawyer, Mathias Darmon, said in a statement. The complaint, seen by the AP, alleges rape of a minor and human trafficking.

Graham Platner Has Made #MeToo Dems and Their Enemies Switch Sides
Topic: Violence Against Women
Source: Reason
The Democratic candidate for Senate in Maine is accused by The New York Times of abuse and toxic behavior. In response to fresh allegations that Platner, the presumptive Democratic candidate for Senate in Maine, was abusive in his past relationships, conservatives who in the past have been correctly discerning of the motivations behind certain sexual misconduct claims are now heralding these accusations as all but confirmed. In fact, they have assailed The New York Times, which published a detailed story about Platner's dating history and alleged violent episodes, for not going further in its indictment. Meanwhile, many Democrats who gleefully and uncritically embraced the "believe all women" mantra of the #MeToo era are broadly dismissive of the Times story, even though the evidence of wrongdoing is arguably more compelling in this case.

Tennessee governor signs ‘Women’s Safety and Protection Act’ into law

Tennessee law now defines legal terms such as 'female,' 'male', and 'sex.' Tennessee has advanced legislative action to protect women in college dorms and other public facilities. Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee signed state bill S.B. 0468, also known as the “Women’s Safety and Protection Act,” into law on May 22. According to the bill summary, the new legislation, “clarifies and reconciles the meaning of sex, female, male, and related terms in state law to provide protections for women and girls against sexual assault, harassment, and violence in correctional facilities, juvenile detention facilities, domestic violence shelters, dormitories, and restrooms, or where women have been traditionally afforded safety and protection from acts of abuse committed by biological men.”

Students join teachers in violent protests over cuts to education in Brussels. A large demonstration over education reforms turned chaotic in Brussels on Thursday, with clashes breaking out in and around the city centre as police moved in to disperse crowds. Teachers took up the protests earlier in the week over cuts to education, with students joining them on Thursday. "I can understand that the teachers are angry, that they are worried, and that they have questions. But this is unreasonable. They must return to the classroom and stop inciting the youth, including on the basis of disinformation," said Georges-Louis Bouchez, chairman of the centre-right Reformist Movement party.

Anti-Semitism Will Get Worse if It Becomes a Good Career Choice

There are plenty of committed antisemites out there who really believe that the Jews and Israel control the world and cause all its problems. These crackpots have always existed. Way back in the 19th century, August Bebel characterized antisemitism as “the socialism of fools.” It is still that: Many socialist fools who know nothing about the Middle East have become virulent anti-Israel bigots, with some crossing the line to overt and unapologetic antisemitism. The Democratic Socialists of America requires its members to be anti-Israel, regardless of what Israel does or doesn’t do. That is the blatant bigotry of fools, even if they, in their ignorance, actually believe it. [Ed: I am a critic of Israel and also of equating Israel with all Jews or assuming anything about them.]

How Health Officials Drummed Up Fake Support for Tobacco Bans in Massachusetts Towns. State health officials scouted towns, scripted hearings, recruited teen witnesses, and celebrated each ban as a "win." Massachusetts has a long and storied history of prohibition. The Puritans banned dice, cards, and gaming tables. The state was one of the first to ban alcohol and marijuana. Missing from this murderer's row of vices is tobacco—for now.

“Not Like Classic Abuse Allegations”

Some people just like classic Coke. Others insisted on the original Reese’s recipe. New York Times writer Jodi Kantor went on CNN to explain why Democrats can vote for Maine senatorial candidate Graham Platner despite multiple women coming forward to denounce him: this is really not the classic Me Too allegations that Kantor and others seem to prefer for outrage. Kantor won a Pulitzer Prize for her reporting on Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein’s sexual abuse and was called forth by CNN to explain why it is ok for liberals to support an alleged abuser of women. A prior girlfriend has accused Platner of physically abusing her and even locking her into a room overnight. He is also accused of sexting women and dismissing rape victims.

Keep in mind, the indictment laid out what many of us have known for a very long time. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) abandoned its mission decades ago. That became very apparent a few years ago when the SPLC started labeling pro-lifers and parents as racist. It became more apparent when their “lists” of racist organizations included Christian organizations such as the Family Research Center, and conservative organizations such as Turning Point USA.

Democratic Leaders Swap Me Too for Maine Below. “It’s clear the fix is in.” Those words from Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). came with her vote against confirming Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Warren was outraged that her fellow senators refused to believe a woman who came forward with a decades-old allegation against Kavanaugh that lacked any corroboration. It now appears that Kavanaugh’s former accusers are making the case that he was treated unjustly at their hands. At least they are now willing to swap “Me Too” for Maine.

The University of Oregon is facing a major budget crisis and will cut $65 million from its budget and close dorms due to low enrollment. That growing crisis, however, did not stop Oregon from burning almost a million dollars fighting against free speech. It also did not induce its faculty to offer greater intellectual diversity and tolerance to prospective students. Oregon is a cautionary tale for a generation of academic social warriors, but also an opportunity for those who want to restore balance in higher education.
