Hard to be a woman south of the border
This is the story:
According to new figures from the Mexican Executive Secretariat of the National Public Security System’s (SESNSP) monthly report on gender violence in Mexico, six women were murdered per day on average during March 2024.
With 200 intentional homicides committed against women in March, alongside the respective 200 and 221 incidents recorded in January and February, Mexico registered a total of 621 murders during the first quarter of 2024.
Despite March’s slight decline in homicide figures, the number of women killed by manslaughter rose 41 percent from February to March from a reported 226 manslaughter incidents to 320.
The data placed the majority of victims as over 18, with the homicides concentrated throughout the State of Mexico (Edoméx), Baja California, Guanajuato, Guerrero, Chihuahua, Michoacán and Jalisco.
Meanwhile, Colima, Baja California and Guanajuato topped the list of most intentional homicides against women per capita across the country.
Likewise, the SESNSP report found that intentional injuries against women, kidnappings, family violence, gender violence and sexual assault against women also increased in March.
Why women you ask? Well, a lot of men are getting killed too but women are more vulnerable, according to what my friends are telling me.
What makes this story more interesting is that Mexico is about to elect Claudia Sheinbaum president. She is from President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s party and should win easily if the polls are correct. Sra. Sheinbaum, the former mayor of Mexico City, is promising to continue down LO’s path and focus on social justice.
What can she do about protecting women? I don’t know, and I don’t think that Mrs. Sheinbaum does, either.
In the meantime, they had a second debate, and the candidates spent a lot of time insulting each other (“You’re a cold woman with no heart.”). And talking about Mexico City’s water supply, a problem related to a drought and insufficient infrastructure. One candidate dared Mrs. Sheinbaum to drink a glass of tap water in Mexico City.
Maybe they will talk about the women getting killed the next time they have a debate.
Yom Hashoah Ve-Hagevurah
From Yid with Lid, the story of Eisenhower, Bradley and Patton at Ohrdruf Concentration Camp:
[Yesterday] at sunset [began] a very solemn day on the Jewish Calendar, Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance day. It is observed on the 27th day of the month of Nisan, which marks the day when Allied troops liberated the first Nazi concentration camp at Buchenwald, Germany, in 1945. The full name of the day is Yom Hashoah Ve-Hagevurah, which means the “Day of (remembrance of) the Holocaust and the Heroism.”
On the morning of April 12th, 1945 General Eisenhower met Generals Bradley and Patton at Ohrdruf Concentration Camp. Afterwards Eisenhower also ordered every American soldier in the area who was not on the front lines to visit Ohrdruf and Buchenwald. He wanted them to see for themselves what they were fighting against. On this Yom HaShoah their words are much more moving then anything I could say […]
Online pornography and social media fuelled a huge rise in the number of girls wanting to be boys, the landmark Cass Review warns
Dr Cass painted an alarming picture of an anxious and distressed generation
Social media and online pornography may have led to an increase in the number of girls wanting to live as boys, the Cass Review has warned.
Dr Hilary Cass, the consultant paediatrician who led the report, highlighted a growing trend among Generation Z females identifying as transgender.
When the NHS gender identity development service (Gids) opened in 1989, it treated fewer than ten people each year, and most were males with a long history of gender distress.
But by 2009, it was treating 15 adolescent girls, and the number had surged to 1,071 by 2016.
In her report, Dr Cass painted an alarming picture of an anxious and distressed generation, born between 1995 and 2009, who have been scarred by today’s digital lifestyles.

She said that females are now more exposed to online pornography than in any previous generation.
Crucially, they also consume more social media and have lower self-esteem and more body hang-ups than their male peers.
Surveys show that the number of Gen Z adults who believe there are more than two genders rocketed from 39 per cent in late 2019 to 51 per cent around a year later.
Meanwhile, the number of ‘Baby Boomers’ – born between 1946 and 1964 – who shared this view in 2021 was just 33 per cent, and for Millennials – who were born between 1981 and 1996 – it was 35 per cent.
The sudden rise in girls seeking help for transgender issues cannot be solely accounted for by greater acceptance of trans identities, the review concludes. This is because it ‘does not adequately explain’ the switch in patient profiles from predominantly male to female.
Further investigation into the ‘consumption of online pornography and gender dysphoria is needed’, Dr Cass warned, pointing to the increasingly early exposure of young people to ‘frequently violent’ online material, which can have a harmful impact on self-esteem and body image.
Her report says: ‘Generation Z is the generation in which the numbers seeking support from the NHS around their gender identity have increased, so it is important to have some understanding of their experiences and influences.

‘In terms of broader context, Generation Z and Generation Alpha [those born since 2010] have grown up through a global recession, concerns about climate change, and most recently the Covid-19 pandemic.
‘Global connectivity has meant that as well as the advantages of international peer networks, they are more exposed to worries about global threats.’ The Cass Review found that there was a ‘dramatic increase’ in presentations to NHS gender clinics from 2014.
It points out that this surge coincided with puberty blockers being made available off-label and to a wider group of young people.
The report also highlights that children learn about others who have the same issues from online sources, such as YouTube videos and Reddit forums.
Dr Cass said the ‘striking increase’ in young people presenting with gender identity issues needs to be considered ‘within the context of poor mental health and emotional distress among the broader adolescent population’.
She called for more research into the ‘complex interplay’ between these issues and a teenager’s sudden desire to change gender.
Dictatorship admits 52% of Cubans have no reliable access to clean drinking water at home
Add this one to the list of great achievements by Castro, Inc. Over the past 65 years it has managed to leave over half of the Cuban people without regular access to drinking water. Many towns and neighborhoods have no running water at all. Those who do get access, do so sporadically, and in many cases, the water is contaminated and undrinkable. And, since this information comes straight from Castro, Inc.’s untrustworthy Ministry of Truth, the REAL statistics are likely to be even worse. Vamos bien! If you would like to find yourself in a similar situation, please remember to vote only for leftist candidates.
Abridged and loosely translated from Marti Noticias
Less than half of Cubans receive potable water daily in their homes, according to official figures revealed this Wednesday on the Mesa Redonda program.
With a population of 11,089,511, according to the 2022 census, barely 8.8 million people have service from the aqueduct and pumping station network. Of them, just over 48 percent benefit from “a supply system with quality, accessibility, and availability indicators.”
“The rest of the population receives the service through other modalities, such as water supply in tank trucks,” said engineer Alexis Acosta Cruz, vice president of the OSDE Water and Sanitation company.
“The main problems are in eastern parts of the country, while in the central region, we have difficulties, especially in some mountainous territories and in the city of Santa Clara,” he added.
According to the official, the situation has worsened with power outages, although he clarified that they have problems with the acquisition of pumping equipment and the approximately three thousand leaks in the country.
“The water supply depends largely on electricity since most pumping systems run on electric power, and only a few have backup generators. These systems are located in densely populated areas, but in recent years, they have worsened due to their exploitation and present significant problems related to power supply,” noted José Antonio Hernández Álvarez, president of the company.
“When a power outage occurs, restoring water service is not as immediate as restoring electricity. After the electric service is restored, the water supply system requires hours to recover. First, the pipeline system is filled, and the pressure is increased. Sometimes, supply systems are located more than 30 km away from population centers,” he explained.
Hernández Álvarez also mentioned that his company is facing losses despite the fact that the price of water has increased seven times its value with restructuring.
The water situation has been one of the causes of protests in the streets of the country in recent months. There are not only problems with supply but also contaminated water reaching many households.

The five scams you’ve never heard of… but could get caught out by in 2024
Scammers continue to ride roughshod over the law, targeting people with phone calls, text messages, emails, social media requests and even letters.
Some are easy to spot from a mile off, with many of us having been contacted by a Nigerian prince in need of help reclaiming his lost inheritance, or received a poorly-worded email warning that at least 574 viruses have been detected on our PCs.
However, the vast majority are not quite so easy to spot, and fraudsters are coming up with new ones all the time.
According to research from Which? shared exclusively with This is Money, there are five new scams that people should keep a keen eye out for this year.
One step ahead: Scammers are increasingly making use of technology to develop more complex methods of duping victims
Which? consumer law expert Lisa Webb said: ‘Consumers can stay on top of the tactics used by fraudsters by signing up to our scam alerts service – which highlights the latest frauds making the rounds.
‘Responsibility should not fall solely on the shoulders of consumers. Tech platforms and the Government need to up their game and better prevent scammers reaching potential victims.’
Spear phishing
You may have heard of phishing scams, which see scammers send out bulk emails purporting to be from reputable businesses, including banks and Government bodies, with the hope that a handful of people will ‘bite’.
But fraudsters are now employing a more targeted approach known as ‘spear phishing’ according to Which?
They are compromising victims’ data and using that personal information to make targeted attacks, convincing them that they are the real organisation.
These attacks use data that has previously been collected by scammers from mass data breaches, social media profiles or previous scams.
The idea behind these scams is that the amount of research behind them will make victims believe that the email, text message or phone call must be legitimate.
But real organisations rarely use cold calls to ask for sensitive information from their customers, so if you are unsure then hang up and call the company back on its official number.
Tapjacking
Scammers can now hijack your smartphone screen, forcing you to perform actions on your phone without realising.
Tapjacking works by showing an overlay on your phone screen which appears clickable.
But in reality that is merely an image, which prevents you from seeing what you are actually tapping on.
In a mobile game, for example, you may appear to be engaging with game elements, but in fact your clicks are making in-app purchases, or signing you up to a subscription via an invisible screen underneath the overlay.
Which? recommends sticking to apps downloaded via sources such as the Apple App store or Google Play Store, and reading reviews before you start installing.
Quishing
Another phishing spin-off, quishing sees scammers utilising the QR code technology that we have all begun to take for granted following its mass prevalence in restaurants and bars during the Covid pandemic.
Scammers use QR codes to lead victims to fake login pages, where they can take your details, or make you sign up to expensive subscriptions without realising.
In some cases, these QR codes are sent via email, disguised as legitimate communications, often via previously compromised email addresses.
But there have also been reports of false QR codes being stuck to parking meters, which take victims to fake apps which will then sign them up to costly subscriptions.
AI and deepfake scams
The meteoric rise of artificial intelligence over the past few years has shifted the landscape for scammers, allowing them to impersonate real voices and even faces.
As AI continually improves, so to do the tools that scammers have at their disposal.
These scams are being increasingly employed to spread misinformation, with scammers using AI or deepfake videos to impersonate reputable sources.
In January, the Guardian found more than 100 deepfake videos of Rishi Sunak, which were linked to a mocked-up BBC News page which promoted a fake investment.
With 2024 set to see a general election in the UK, it is possible that there will be a rise in AI and deep fake misinformation spreading on social media.
According to Facebook and Instagram owner Meta, it will install labels to inform users if a video has been detected as AI.
Online ads
Last year, the Online Safety Bill was passed into law, but has not yet fully come into effect.
The law will mean that large online platforms will become responsible for illegal content hosted on their site, including scam adverts.
For now, however, there seems to have been little change according to Which?
Telltale signs of scam adverts are offers that seem too good to be true – because they are – and links that don’t match with the advert on display.
For example, an advert could have been copied from an existing one, but the web address is bogus.
Which? Top tips to avoid scams
Become suspicious of cold calls or unsolicited emails Legitimate businesses and organisations rarely contact you and ask for personal information without you expecting them to do so. If unsure, your best bet is to contact the company directly using verified contact details.
Make sure you check website addresses When getting in touch with your bank, or other similar companies, find their website address on your bank card or statements. If you can’t, use a reputable search engine to go directly to the company’s website. Look out for search ad scams that can appear at the top of results, and instead click the first organic result.
Report any suspicions If you think you have been scammed, then you can report it to Action Fraud, or call the police on 101 in Scotland. If you are worried the scammer has your financial details, contact your bank via the number on the back of your bank card as soon as possible.
A New Flight from Womanhood? The Importance of Working Through Experiences Related to Exposure to Pornographic Content in Girls Affected by Gender Dysphoria
Parallel to the advent of social media and the easy access to online pornographic content there is a sharp increase in adolescent females expressing gender dysphoria worldwide. This paper argues that treatment of gender dysphoria in female adolescents must include explicit exploration into their use and exchange of pornographic content, as well as possible online or offline contacts with adults. Possible avenues of how pornographic content may increase the shame and fear of becoming a woman include the acquisition of misogynistic sexual scripts based on false assumptions on sexuality including the normalization of the violation of females as pleasurable for them, peer influence among female friendship groups, the susceptibility of our medical systems to “mass hysteria” phenomena, easier access of adults with sexually abusive intentions to youth through social media, sexual abuse and victim blaming on females, as well as the influence of pornography on mentalization capacities. As the influence of pornography on gender dysphoria in girls is understudied, this paper provides questions for qualitative and quantitative research, case studies and history taking. Especially the lack of an adequate other during exposure may aggravate false assumptions on gender roles and gender inequality seen in mainstream pornography. Girls affected by autism might be at higher risk because of their reduced mentalization capacities. Working through experiences associated with pornographic content and sexually abusive experiences may correct false beliefs about gender inequality and therefore might alleviate gender dysphoria.

Disrupt Violent Left-Wing Networks
Americans must become confident again that their government will enforce the law, without fear or favor.
The summer of 2020 resembled a political revolution. Militants associated with Black Lives Matter and Antifa led the most destructive riots in American history. Radicals burned down city blocks, perpetrated acts of violence, and briefly established an “autonomous zone” in Seattle characterized by a police-free political order and a homicide rate 50 times higher than that of Chicago.
For those who monitor left-wing radical movements, this shouldn’t have been a complete surprise. Federal law enforcement had long acknowledged the threat of left-wing, anarchist, and racialist violence. In 2016, the FBI published a report raising the alarm about the threat of anarchist groups that deployed arson and violence for political ends. The following year, it published an intelligence assessment warning about the rise of “black identity extremism,” which was linked to ambushes and violent attacks against police officers.
In the wake of the George Floyd protests, however, FBI director Christopher Wray changed his tune. In testimony to Congress, Wray distanced himself from the report on black-identity extremism and repeated the canard that Antifa was “not a group” but “an ideology,” an evasion that invites the obvious rejoinder: ideas don’t torch buildings—people do. Activists exerted tremendous social and political pressure on mainstream institutions to fall in line with BLM.
Three years later, accountability hasn’t been forthcoming. In Portland, federal prosecutors quietly dismissed nearly half the cases against George Floyd rioters. In Seattle, ringleaders of the ill-fated “autonomous zone” were never charged with crimes, and the paramilitaries who served as the zone’s armed security and murdered a minor were never identified. Many of the downtown neighborhoods most affected by the riots have still not recovered.
A vacuum has ensued. Violent militants in cities such as Portland have become increasingly brazen in their public statements, confident that law enforcement won’t stop them. During a civil trial against Antifa-affiliated militants who allegedly participated in an attack on journalist Andy Ngo, the defense attorney declared to jurors, “I am Antifa,” and vowed to “remember their faces.” The jury decided in favor of the “anti-fascists,” with jurors telling the judge that they feared having their identities exposed.
Federal law enforcement should intervene. The public has an interest in ensuring that this situation cannot continue. These violent, left-wing radical networks can be disrupted through proactive investigations and, as necessary, prosecutions. Violence in the name of social justice remains violence. Americans must become confident again that their government will enforce the law, without fear or favor.
