Conservative views aren't being suppressed here, they are just A) not being boosted and B) incredibly unpopular because they are odious

None of the sometimes reasonable concerns she's raising are actually what MAHA means when they're talking about "corruption". Real corruption: Insurance companies making sure they can kill you to cut costs. MAHA's "corruption": A bunch of baseless fear-mongering about vaccines and trans people.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov · 2d ago

There is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.

Maybe if she cries hard enough, someone will make her a Sophie Cunningham microphone and they can go on national news together to complain about how oppressed they are.

The “Riley Gaines” microphone case is priceless. It’s as if she’s some sort of actual reporter and not a cro-magnon dipshit who sits at home complaining about nonsense. Humiliating work. It’s hilarious watching all these sub-mediocre losers be raging narcissists. You are nothing, Riley.

Its remarkable how an employment appeal trubunal can conclude that being a TERF is "worthy of respect in a democratic society", which basically is every belief except the most totalitarian and extreme, and now they spend their time trying to silence all critics.

I don’t think the Charity Commission would let Amnesty International UK get away with describing any other charity organised around beliefs which are protected in English law as “anti-rights”, nor should it do so.

i got mugged at shotgun point. the cops arrested the wrong guy, hustled me out of court at the hearing when i said ”that’s not the guy,” told me “you didn’t see him,” made me do a lineup at the prison and when i said “that’s the guy i saw in court, still not him” told me “it’s OK, he’s a bad person”

It’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.

JK got her start nicking from Amnesty International, and getting canned for it. Human rights was too boring so she spent her paid time making up pretend little elves that enjoyed being slaves. Truly a vacuous person.

AIPAC and their affiliated organizations such as the United Democracy Project are one of the largest political spenders in the country. They also have an outsized impact on Democratic races because they focus their spending on primaries so that the Democratic Party remains pro-Israel.

Adam Gurri@adamgurri.liberalcurrents.com · 6d ago

Some true things: -AIPAC has spent gobs of money on Stevens -the previous bipartisan consensus on Israel was not of AIPAC’s doing -Since they very recently began actively spending on democratic primaries, they haven’t had a great track record -for example they tried and failed to sink Biss

Not only is Bryan Haywood a vulture capitalist pretending to be an everyman, he is behind six ballot initiatives cutting his own taxes (he's a multimillionaire), rolling back climate protections, and hurting trans kids. He's a selfish and evil man.

So, here in Washington state transphobic billionaires are trying to pass IL26-001 and Il26-638. The No Hate in WA State campaign just sent me an email saying in a poll most voters were undecided on the votes...32% voting yes for the former, 43% said to vote yes for the latter. This is extremely bad.

After Delta State University student Trey Reed was found hanging in a tree last September, attorney Ben Crump vowed to help the family find answers. But nearly a year later, Reed’s family says Crump has not shared the final results of an independent autopsy and hasn't responded to them in 8 months.

Turns out putting a new face on the Starmer Project has done nothing to end authoritarianism in Britain.

Notice how incredibly silly it is that we have the police warning people not to commit terrorist offences, waiting quietly for them to reveal a t-shirt or something, and then arresting old people under anti-terror powers, who quite placidly accept being arrested.

Healthy democracies under good governance do not see things like e.g. a 1,000% increase in terrorism-related arrests in the course of one year, most of them non-violent pensioners.

The fact this continues while the police do nice little photo ops with suspected Loyalist murderers is really the thing that underlines how hypocritical it is

"And to be clear, this is all about people, because trans youth are not 'issues,' they are people. Trans adults are not 'issues,' we are people. "

To be fair, @blumenthal.senate.gov and Ben Cardin are complicit for doing Netanyahu and Graham's building. Nice job colluding with war criminals, you scumbags.

The anti trans crowd was outraged by this study because it included clinicians who actually practice gender affirming care. Yet another systematic review that follows Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Utah, and Louisiana that finds this care is safe and effective with rare regret.

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · 2w ago

1. In an incredible new landmark review, the Health Council of the Netherlands has declared that gender-affirming care for trans youth works, reducing wait times is "morally urgent," and regret is rare. It is the latest of many Euro countries to advance care. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The Equality Act has entered farce territory at this point. The only right that matters any more is the right to be a TERF. Nevermind any of the rights actually enumerated in the Act.

And the government will dare pat themself on the back for “banning” conversion practices when they make schools implement them. What is forcing schools to delegitimise trans children’s identities but conversion. Truly monstrous. This is Starmer’s legacy

The gaslighting in the UK is absurd. My kiddo has been fully included for years. This segregation has a start date, September 1st. It is a 180 of school policy, that they are being forced to follow by Government policy. Yet not one newspaper is mentioning this HUGE change to trans kids' lives.

Just had meeting with kiddo's school. She has been fully supported, treated with full equality & dignity for years. All of that changes from September. Full segregation & humiliation across the board. The school staff cried in the meeting. This will absolutely lead to children's deaths 1/2

There is some gender going on here, but it's neither affirming nor care. Rather, fascists are attempting to assert their rigid ideas about gender over unwilling subjects, which I would argue makes it a form of medicalized conformance abuse. Gender Conformity Abuse?
