Hoe zou het in het Verenigd Koninkrijk gaan? Eens even kij… 😨 (De EHRC is de Equality and Human Rights Commission)

Do you remember that for years every few weeks there would be mainstream articles about how 12 "Gender Critical" people had signed a letter to the government saying trans people shouldn't have freedoms or whatever. Will any of these letters with orders of magnitude get any media at all? Make noise

You know what? Power does not corrupt. It's even worse. Corruption empowers.

Media hebben inherent een conservatieve bias. Dat is geen controversiële beschuldiging, maar nuchter realisme. Alleen de rijken kunnen media runnen. Als de media het grootkapitaal tegen de haren instrijken, verliezen ze hun adverteerders. Maken ze de machthebbers boos, dan verliezen ze hun bronnen.

"[Extreemrechtse partijen] die beweren de gewone burger te vertegenwoordigen, worden gefinancierd door Russische banken, Hongaarse oligarchen of Amerikaanse fundamentalisten. Hun anti-elite imago is marketing; hun politieke praktijk een exportproduct van autoritair geld."

I feel I actually rarely hear anyone talk about the long-standing conservative smear campaign against the very concept of wanting to be a good person, cynically condemning all moral ambition as "bleeding heart nonsense", "virtue signalling", "woke" And how they'll still insist were the evil ones

🍉 De genocide in Gaza gaat gruwelijk en onverminderd door. En onze regering steunt dit. Op zondag 15 juni trekken wij in Den Haag massaal opnieuw een rode lijn, omdat onze leiders dat niet doen. Als je kunt, kom alsjeblieft! Free Palestine! ✊❤️🇵🇸 Meer info en aanmelden: www.oxfamnovib.nl/rode-lijn

History will look back on the self-proclaimed 'gender critical feminist' movement and see it as a monstrous betrayal that sold out feminism by laundering full-blown male-supremacist fascism as 'defenders of women's rights'

One aggravating part of being trans is that random strangers will demand that you defend The Ideology Of This Organization while you're actively like. Annoyed by that organization, because they're doing a bad job representing your interests politically.

With the New York Times continuing its attack on trans people, I wrote about its failures and how Azeen Ghorayshi has led the charge to weaponize their coverage against the trans community and launder anti-trans talking points into the mainstream. www.thedissident.news/the-new-york...

"but my nostalgia" "but she doesn't own the fandom" "but I'm not going to give her money I'm just going to keep her property culturally relevant forever" "but also I'm definitely going to give her money and just pretend I didn't" Children's media consumed by adults funding fascism. Wild.

I think at some point we have to stop indulging the fiction that conservatism is a legitimate political tendency and isn't simply a grievance cult for those who value the ability to enact cruelty over their literal basic needs.

better yet, consider unsubscribing from HBO/Max the week before her show comes out (& if you rejoin, wait until the HP season is over). it's not enough to *not* watch it – HBO needs to know it will hurt their bottom line if they continue producing it

UnitedHealth secretly pressured nurses to change patients' records to include DNRs (Do Not Resuscitate) without their consent, so those patients would die instead of being saved with medical interventions that could cost UnitedHealth money. This is murder. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
