@KnuteBuehler Not-so-much a threat, rather just a fact of life: if you behave in certain ways you invite criticism and scrutiny. For example (this is my own work, not Kate’s)

Marc Thielman, Republican candidate for Oregon governor and former superintendent of Alsea schools, ran the district like a "boys club," treating women unequally and subjecting them to sexual harassment, according to a recently filed lawsuit.

@agnostic_simian @rosesomm@LeahLitman On the other hand, if I claim it's 100% grass-fed local meat, and it's actually previously frozen squirrel meat from China, you may have a fraud claim against me.
@agnostic_simian @rosesomm@LeahLitman No. For example consider consumer fraud, which has well-worn legal precedent. I can advertise "the best burger in Springfield" and this won't be a fraud - even it's not objectively the best burger.
@Big_Worker@rosesomm It's like burglary vs armed robbery. In both cases, you may lose possession of your laptop but having a gun to your head is a bit more traumatic. But in both cases, someone stole your laptop and it's gone.
@rosesomm Thank you for this - I'm feeling very validated. I've been thoroughly shouted out of online forums for suggesting rape by fraud could be a thing. People get really really angry at this notion for some reason. I'm glad I'm not the only one in the world
@emmy_mimieux@lethal_heroine I don’t know why people think coercion is the issue, the issue is lack of consent. Otherwise incapacitated people couldn’t be raped. As for the definition of fraud there’s clear distinction between material omissions and otherwise
@RoseCityAntifa I can already see how this is going to end. The "patriots" occupy the state capitol for months while law enforcement does nothing. Brian Boquist declares himself defacto Patriot Leader and streams Facebook videos taunting authorities from the senate bathroom.
LAKE OSWEGO, Ore. (AP) — The activism of Jennifer Dale began when she watched her third grade daughter struggle with distance learning, kicking and screaming through her online classes. https://t.co/CBMn13xPMg

Pick a lane, Dennis
@AntiCultureWar So much. I’ve been skeptical of the extended 22 month lockdown notion that pretends that my behavior today establishes the r_0 for the next 10 months but right now is the actual crunch time where there is literally a tangible linear effect.
