she / they - live rent free in the heads of these bastards

personally, i'd give anything to go back in time and prevent what happened to me. it destroyed my trust in other people and institutions. it shattered my mental and physical health. it derailed my education. it changed how i see the world and myself. it made me give up on many of my dreams.

rape is not an oopsie daisy. it's not a youthful "mistake." it is a life-altering violation of someone's fundamental bodily autonomy. it inflicts intense suffering and psychological trauma. it is torturous to experience and it is often torturous to continue living afterward. it is a big deal.

i shouldn't be shocked by the amount of people i've liked, admired, and even trusted who've spent the last week trivializing rape via progressive sounding language, but i am.

- Oct 7 "Hannibal": ~70 vehicles hit to stop captives reaching Gaza; toll uncounted; possibly hundreds of victims. Ex-DM Gallant confirmed directive used - 3 hostages shot by IDF (white flag), Dec 2023 - 3 killed by Israeli airstrike, Nov 2023

kind of funny to me that the right are so insistent on forcing this into the discourse. Because, ok, say that you're right. Now what? And, clearly, if you don't think race should determine your future in the UK, you also don't believe that "being English" means anything significant

Suella Braverman suggests on #BBCQT that you can't be English unless you are white, and have a lineage or heritage going back some generations

Chiitan loves transgender people 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Even a plain statement like this now brings slander and insults, but I think a society where people can live happily as themselves matters more than silence, so I will keep saying it until the account is gone. love everyone🤍

I have said before and will again: any electoral reform commission must NOT rule out a change of system BEFORE the next election if needed. We cannot risk a minority vote handing a huge majority to any party that would take a shredder to democracy itself.

Things Gavin Newsom has vetoed this week: -A ban on secretly recording people with smart glasses -A ban on ICE agents working for the state government -A ban on websites selling your data -A bill giving native tribes more say over water rights -A bill protecting transgender healthcare providers

Renee Good's family filed two lawsuits today. The first, against, USG, is a standard wrongful death. The second is a Klan Act lawsuit against Jonathan Ross, AND STEPHEN MILLER and Greg Bovino. It names Nick Shirley and Christopher Rufo as non-party co-conspirators for their racist propaganda.

44. At all relevant times, Defendants Ross, Miller, Noem, Lyons, Homan,
Bovino, and the John Doe Federal Agents acted under color of federal law and within the
scope of a joint enterprise with the private actors described below. Defendant
Lewandowski acted in part under color of federal law and in part, as alleged below, as a
private person, his federal status having been limited to a temporary part-time designation
that his conduct exceeded. Shirley, Rufo, and Ben Bergquam, and the other non-party
private actors described below, agreed to and in fact participated in the conspiracy alleged
here: each acted in concert with, and with the knowledge and encouragement of, federal
officials.

I will never forget all the cynical gainsaying and disinformation about the strike on Al-Ahli hospital ten days into Israel’s destruction of Gaza. ‘Fog of war’. Almost three years later, fewer than half of Gaza’s hospitals remain even partially functional and there is no fog. Only dust and rubble.
