Women's prison mass jail break after inmates in dominatrix gear handcuff male guards expecting 'mass orgy'
"Police found three wardens naked and handcuffed inside the Nova Mutum public jail, near Cuiaba, central Brazil
Twenty-eight inmates escaped from a Brazilian jail after three women in fantasy police costumes “seduced” prison wardens, it was reported today.
Police found three wardens naked and handcuffed inside the Nova Mutum public jail, near Cuiaba, central Brazil, the morning after the mass break-out.
The women reportedly drugged the prison guards by giving them spiked whisky after convincing them to take part in an orgy, according to investigators.
Inmates then left the prison through the main doors, even taking with them guns and munitions they had taken from prison caches.
Police later found a bag of lingerie and dominatrix police uniforms believed to have been worn by the temptresses.
Last night photos of one the naked wardens, believed to have been leaked by amused police officers who found him, had been shared thousands of times on social network sites.
The three women - one of them reportedly the girlfriend of one of the prisoners who escaped - arrived at the prison at 3am on Thursday morning and asked to be let inside to “chat and drink”, police said.
The prison guards reportedly obliged and were soon persuaded to leave their posts, accompanying the girls to staff sleeping quarters.
After drugging the wardens the women handcuffed them, took their keys and unlocked all the prison’s cells, according to chief Angelina de Andrades Ferreira.
She told a news conference: “The plan was to seduce them. They served them cheap whisky with some substance to knock them out, then unlocked the central gate which accesses the internal cells.
"Whoever wanted to escape left by the front door.
"From the moment they drank the whisky the agents don’t remember a thing. One was found dizzy, trying to wake up. Another slept for the whole afternoon and couldn’t even be questioned."
The inmates took three 12 caliber rifles shotguns, two 38 caliber revolvers and munition, she said.”
This is the greatest story of all time
I concur.
This is awesome. They were expecting to take advantage of imprisoned women, who were probably there as a result of structural violence, and what they got was exactly what they deserved.
This story should be filmed and shown every Christmas.

white people either sitting in silent agreement with him or tuning out? We have, after all, only articulated a definition of racism.”
-
This insulated environment of racial protection builds white expectations for racial comfort while at the same time lowering the ability to tolerate racial stress, leading to what I refer to as White Fragility. White Fragility is a state in which even a minimum amount of racial stress becomes intolerable, triggering a range of defensive moves. These moves include the outward display of emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and behaviors such as argumentation, silence, and leaving the stress-inducing situation. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium.

The best comedy about North Korea, far...
The best comedy about North Korea, far better than The Interview, was made six years ago.
It’s called The Red Chapel, and it’s a documentary about two Danish-Korean comedians (and their director/manager) who go to North Korea to perform for Kim Jong Il. The idea they had was that they would do subversive comedy, they would come up with a sketch that looked like goofy slapstick but slyly mocked the North Korean government, and it would be a hilarious slap in the face to do it right in front of Kim Jong Il. That big silly wouldn’t even know they were making fun of him! Ha!
Over the course of their stay in North Korea, the idea falls apart. It becomes clear during rehearsals that their government minders are very aware of anything that could be the slightest bit subversive (or even really funny), and if any of that makes it into the final performance, the consequences will be very bad. Anything remotely satirical gets cut from the routine very early on.
Things go from demoralizing to horrific when the government minders take them on outings to see life in North Korea. Of course everyone they see looks totally fine and claims everything is wonderful. But one of the comedians has cerebral palsy, and he starts asking: why don’t I see any people like me? We’ve been here for weeks, and seen thousands of people; how is it that not one of them is visibly disabled?
He doesn’t get an answer. He breaks down emotionally and refuses to keep going along with the charade, but because his voice is hard for the North Korean minders to understand, the director “translates” his protests into praise for the regime. He’s trying to protect his friend but it’s awful and cruel and gut-wrenchingly hard to watch the scenes where the comedian is screaming “that’s not what I said!” and the director is frantically whispering “just play along!” at him.
In the end, they go out in front of a heavily coached audience and do a completely harmless show with kazoos and spring snakes and silly costumes. All hope for satire breaks down and they give exactly the show the government minders wanted, because it’s the only thing they can do. Subversiveness wouldn’t be clever; it might be fatal. Instead of getting away with something, they end up hating themselves and violating their own principles. They came to mess around with a silly weird country that doesn’t know how ridiculous it is, and instead they found themselves surrounded by very serious and real and terrifying oppression.
The Red Chapel isn’t funny, and totally fails to satirize or expose or change anything, and that’s why it’s the only good comedy about North Korea.
I watched this a little while ago and STRONGLY recommend it. All of the above is true.

DIA INTERNACIONAL POR EL FIN DE LA VIOLENCIA CONTRA TRABAJADORES SEXUALES
Un llamado de accion y in evento de sanacion comunitario
Cerca de los trenes: C/E/1/N/R/F y PATH
Todos son bienvenidos | Espacio accessible
On the 12th annual International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers, we seek to come together to honor those who we have lost this year, and renew our commitment in the on-going struggle for empowerment, visibility, and human rights for all sex workers.
This event centers on healing and self-care in recognition that so many in our community who are dis/abled and chronically ill are excluded from ableist actions, spaces and events.
Too often, violence against sex workers is also violence against trans women, women of color, drug users, and immigrants. Trans Women of Color are disproportionately impacted by state sanctioned violence. In the past 6 months, 12 TWOC were brutally murdered in this country.
It is imperative that we create braver spaces centering the narratives of our most vulnerable. We cannot end the marginalization and victimization of all sex workers without also fighting white supremacy, transphobia, racism, albeism, stigma and criminalization of drug use, and xenophobia.
This event will be held on the 4th floor of the
Miss Major-Jay Toole Building for Social Justice
147 West 24th St.

En el 12mo aniversario del Dia Internacional Para El Fin de la Violencia En Contra de Lxs Sexo Servidorxs, queremos unirnos para recordar a todos aquellxs a lxs que hemos perdido este ano, y para renovar nuestro compromiso en la lucha diaria para el fortalecimiento, la visibilidad, y los derechos humanos para todxs lxs sexoservidorxs.
Este evento se centra en sanación y cuidado personal en reconocimiento de los muchxs en nuestra comunidad que son deshabilitadxs y están crónicamente enfermos y son excluidos de espacios y eventos sin contemplación de sus limitaciones.
A menudo, la violencia en contra de lxs sexoservidorxs también es violencia en contra de trans mujeres, mujeres de color, personas que usan drogas, e inmigrantes. Mujeres transgenero de color son impactadas desproporcionadamente por violencia sancionada por el estado. En los psados 6 meses, 12 mujeres transgenero de color fueron asesinadas brutalmente en este país.
Es imperativo que creemos fuertes espacios que se centren en la narrativa de nuestros mas vulnerables. No podemos terminar la marginalización y victimización de todxs lxs sexoservidorxs sin también luchar en contra de la transfobia, el racismo, el estigma y la criminalización del uso de drogas, y la xenofobia.
Este evento se llevara a cabo en dos pisos del edificio

NYC demands justice for Eric Garner, killed by an NYPD officer with an illegal chokehold. The officer who murdered the father of six was not indicted for Garner’s death yesterday.
We shut down the West Side Highway, the Lincoln Tunnel & disrupted the Rockefeller Christmas tree lighting. There were die-ins in Grand Central Station, Columbus Circle & along 12th Ave. Community members & press were arrested.
When there is no justice, we shut it down.
Rest in power, Eric Garner & all victims of police brutality. The fight won’t stop here.
Tonight, Foley Square @ 5 p.m.
