En Estados Unidos se está proponiendo que las niñas que hagan deporte pasen por una comprobación física de que no son trans. Objetivo: destruir TODO el deporte femenino de raíz. No tiene nada que ver con las personas trans, o muy poco.

On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂‍↕️

Yuriko Miyamoto was a writer and social activist associated with both the proletarian fiction and women's liberation movements. (She even spent time in prison before the Pacific War for her political views.) Much of her work is autobiographical and centers war, class, or gender. #witmonth

A black-and-white photo of Yuriko Miyamoto. Miyamoto is a serious-looking, heavy, middle-aged woman in a dark, patterned kimono with a light, floral patterned obituary. She's looking into the distance behind the camera, holding a pen or calligraphy brush, and sitting in front of a bookshelf.

La ultraderecha de VOX reclamó la lista de funcionarios que emitían los informes psicosociales sobre mujeres maltratadas en 2019. Hoy, Juanma Moreno del PP les ha cedido a VOX estas competencias sobre violencia machista en la Junta de Andalucía.

Excuse me, @theguardian.com but wtf? Spain's regularization of migrants benefits persons already here for years, it's not a promise of immediate acceptance. The last process was in 2005. Who would migrate and have to wait 20 years for legalization? www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

My books will be on my shelves where they belong. A few friends used to laugh at me for keeping what they called obsolete things like vinyl records and old books. They all agree it was a good idea now.

The aliens are keeping track of how the Earth self-destroys and puzzling about why 8000 million people are allowing a tiny percentage of oligarchs to erase life as if their own lives were not at stake. At this point, I would support an alien invasion, not even a hostile one could not be worse.
