Les communautés voyageuses sont "de loin la minorité la moins acceptée" en France, rappelle en 2025 la CNCDH. Mais Gabriel Attal choisit d'en faire les cibles d'un nouveau thème de campagne, occultant les difficultés d’accueil et les obligations des collectivités www.mediapart.fr/journal/fran...

Gabriel Attal charge les « gens du voyage », les associations dénoncent de l’antitsiganisme

Les déclarations du candidat à l’élection présidentielle ravivent le débat sur la stigmatisation d’une population déjà confrontée à de fortes discriminations. Associations et défenseurs des droits de…

This shit sounds like magic to normies but someone left an open door at a data warehouse and some other useless wanker left a Roomba roaming around a public space and the Roomba wandered into the open door.

In the UK, you can be arrested, charged, prosecuted and convicted if you do not disclose that you are trans before sex but a cis man doesn't have to declare if he has an STI.

#Climat | 4 personnes sur 10 se déclarent très inquiètes des effets du dérèglement climatique. Cette inquiétude est plus marquée dans les zones urbaines denses, pour les plus diplômés, pour les femmes et pour le CM de l'Insee qui vous exprime toute sa solidarité. 👉 www.insee.fr/fr/statistiq...

At the end of the term I asked my college creative wriing students to submit anonymous thoughts on AI. No real surprises: Mood ranges from resignation to despair, capitulation from embittered erosion of standards to total, feelings of betrayal from deep to furious. 1/

Mais même Christophe Honoré l'an dernier parlait du fait que Canal avait pas voulu financer des films avec des personnages gays ni même avec des personnages de syndicalistes... C'était passé un peu sous le tapis mais il en parlait avec une franchise rare dans le mag TroisCouleurs !

Ça va le Monde ? Peut-être pas très malin de publier verbatim et sans contextualisation une lettre qui contient des passages antisémites accusant Israël d'avoir « fabriqué » la guerre contre l'état islamique, non ?

I do appreciate cis advocates of trans healthcare, especially in these times, but I do wish more of them would let go of the "experts know best" framing. I'm aware it's safe, palatable, sellable, but there's a century of "experts" torturing, converting, and sexually abusing trans people. So.

it's such a huge story and it's being so under-covered

Quand on fera le constat de la hausse des taux de suicide des jeunes personnes trans, quand on fera la somme de ces suicides, en comptant chaque pays ayant basculé sur des politiques anti-trans.. Que se passera-il? Qui rendra des comptes? Le moment venu, il faudra balancer les noms de ces criminels?

Trans youth suicides surged following NHS puberty blockers ban

Trans youth deaths by suicide have surged in the UK across the past few years in the wake of the puberty blockers ban, a report suggests.

a thing we have to be careful of is that all these people, especially Epstein, had a hugely exaggerated view of their own power and loved to claim they were responsible for shit they had very little or nothing to do with.

Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

Hi, Epstein did not create the GCs. Researchers for the last ten years have been telling you over and over about the collection of forces that resulted in the GCs. There is no conspiracy. Just a bunch of political actors collaborating in their mutual interest.

Might we tactfully point out that to obsess negatively with trans people when the richest and most powerful men in the world are trying to reverse centuries of humane progress and equality to acquire impunity for rape and murder shows a weird sense of priorities?

imagine if it happens on tv

142 years ago today in 1884, John Coulter died after falling drunk down stairs at his friends house. After his death, it was discovered that he was a trans man. He'd worked in the Belfast docks for decades and had been married for 30 years, his wife only leaving him because of his alcohol problem.

The New York Times described a harrassment campaign that helped drive a young trans woman to suicide as "online criticisms." Today on Assigned, @evanurquhart.bsky.social responds with contained fury to New York Times piece on the suicide of Lia Smith. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

The New York Times published a story covering the death of trans athlete, Lia Smith, but takes no responsibility for the ways their coverage of trans issues has fed the moral panic that caused it.

Unless the "interim governing structure" is 'the Maduro regime run by Delcy Rodriguez,' they're gonna have a hard time governing much. Either that or they have some invading to do. It is robustly unclear to me what they think they are doing or if they know.

The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 7mo ago

With Nicolás Maduro out of power, the Trump administration is racing to assemble an interim governing structure for Venezuela.

If you don't perceive the fact that they don't even feel the slightest need to obfuscate or manufacture consent anymore as an escalation, I don't know what to say to you?

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

A deluge of work on regime change after the 2003 invasion of Iraq yielded strong (and rare) agreement in IR: it doesn't work & has terrible consequences. @profdownes.bsky.social's book Catastrophic Success lays it out, but it's right there in the title. www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9781501...

In Catastrophic Success, Alexander B. Downes compiles all instances of regime change around the world over the past two centuries. Drawing on this impressive data set, Downes shows that regime change....

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

We tried so hard to raise the alarm. Is anyone paying attention yet?
