Many of the protests in LA have been successful at preventing ICE arrests and detention. “If we organize ourselves, if we resist, we can defend our communities from ICE terror, from the Border Patrol or from any federal agency that wishes to separate our families.”

I've seen a bunch of references to this, but I hadn't seen the post itself until now. The menswear guy intentionally, riskily revealed that he's undocumented—that he's a DREAMer—as an act of public solidarity and witness in the face of our current fascist ascendancy.

Governments (and corporations) are testing and experimenting to see how much they can ignore the public and still get what they want. They are betting that they don’t need general public support as long as public opinion is fractured and the most critical voices are structurally disempowered.

a Roman follower of Christ named Decimus, who, the night before Christ’s crucifixion, was made a vampire. The book detailed his centuries long life where he struggled with his faith and his natures. I’m gay btw. Can you tell?

pleased to make my debut with The Ditch today Naoise Ó Cearúil told me he has no conflict of interest since he declared his shares, which is a very common misunderstanding of what the term "conflict of interest" means, I have noticed

Also: Despite the poor conditions that the women lived in, they were well known for their generosity and kindness towards each other and for helping each other out in times of distress. Just like today 💚

i've been trying to see what the right wing platforms (even outside of X) are showing people regarding the protests in LA and i am not sure it can be overstated just how much the AI slop is being used to reinforce the idea that downtown is a post-apocalyptic war zone

And further to that last boost, please take into consideration that researchers believe there to be under-recognition of suicides induced by domestic abuse. I am certain there have been suicides locally whose true authors are still seen as "decent men".

Anything less than the full, categorical rejection of the exploitation of the pain and suffering caused by gender based violence in Northern Ireland, in the aim of an anti-immigrant and racist political agenda, is a dishonour to the love and memory owed to it’s victims.

The whole trans girls in sports discussion is absolutely being used to propagandize people into being transphobic bellends. In K-12, the number of trans girls in sports is five. In college the number is fewer than ten, according to the NCAA President. You're being manipulated. Please stop.

As someone said prior, the only reason Greta got released is because people were very loud about her specifically. There are still 8 other flotilla members detained, apparently without fresh water in bedbug infested prison. They all deserve to be fought for, too.

This is a huge scandal. As Foreign Secretary, David Cameron tried to intimidate the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Courts into dropping his Israeli arrest warrants. A violation of international law - ignored by British news outlets.

Further to that last boost, the SC ruling fallout feels so much like the immediate post-Referendum years. Politicians demanded it wothout understanding it, despite warnings about impact on vulnerable affected minorities, and when those consequences hit they just kept repeating meaningless clichés.

It's just absolutely insane watching all the "Gender Critical" people in government repeating the word "clarity" at each other without any of them being able to explain literally anything about how their hateful policies will work

It's interesting to see O'Neill cite Tommy Robinson. Now, Robinson is for sure an influence on UK racism, but I think we really need our First and Deputy First Ministers to acknowledge the role of our local paramilitaries, and often and very specifically the Loyalist ones, in this violence.

Terrifying to see people responding as if doctors lying to women about what is being put into their bodies during labour (or in any other circumstances) is merely an intriguing notion rather than a violation of patient trust. Medical misogyny is a widely acknowledged and studied problem.
