It's weird when people bristle at the idea of abolishing billionaires. Are you a billionaire? Is your mum one? Why do you care? It would be good to abolish billionaires. More money for public services, less money for them to buy rape islands.

#ResistanceEarth Yesterday, someone replied to the post below, noting that the plan only involves 715 acres of the 90,788-acre wildlife refuge. That’s less than 1%. From a pure numbers perspective, it seems not to matter. Let’s explore why that’s the wrong way to look at it. /1

#ResistanceEarth The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which apparently doesn't care about either one, plans to hand over 724 acres of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge to SpaceX. Conservationists and Indigenous groups are trying to stop the deal. www.space.com/space-explor...

We stand with Amnesty International UK. Freedom of expression isn't a one-way street. If organisations demand the right to criticise others, they must also accept the right to be criticised. Read our statement on why this matters for democracy and human rights.

TACC stands with Amnesty International UK. For years, organisations like Sex Matters have claimed their voices are being silenced. They have presented themselves as champions of free speech, arguing that gender-critical beliefs are excluded from public debate and marginalised by institutions. Yet when one of the world's most respected human rights organisations published research that challenged their campaigning, their response was not to engage with the evidence or publish a rebuttal. Instead, they publicly declared that they were prepared to sue for defamation. Freedom of expression cannot be a principle that applies only when you agree with what is being said. If you demand the right to criticise others, you must also accept their right to criticise you. The consequences reach far beyond Amnesty. If charities, researchers and human rights organisations begin censoring themselves because they fear expensive legal action, then public debate is no longer shaped by evidence, but by who has the deepest pockets and the most aggressive lawyers. This comes at a time when transgender people in the UK are facing levels of state-sanctioned segregation unprecedented in modern British history. Rather than confronting the human impact of those policies, some organisations appear more concerned with silencing those who scrutinise their role in bringing them about.Many of the ideas and legal strategies now shaping the UK's culture wars did not originate here. They have been promoted internationally by organisations such as Alliance Defending Freedom, which has played a significant role in campaigns to roll back LGBTQIA+ rights and reproductive rights in the United States. Britain should be extremely cautious about importing those tactics into our own democratic debate. A society does not lose its freedoms overnight. It loses them when powerful organisations can campaign without restraint, yet seek to suppress those who hold them to account. That is why TACC stands with Amnesty International UK.

My god. The Heritage Foundation, which mercilessly attacked transgender kids in order to protect the "integrity of women's sports," is now attacking the legal basis for women's sports. The transgender student decision is barely 2 weeks old.

1/8 Thank you for your support and for writing the letter. However, we all know that the anti-trans ideological movement doesn't listen to reason, ignores actual science and medical data, and does not care about the lives that will be destroyed as a result of this 'Code'. In fact, the cruelty...

Some very cruel and evil people with nothing but spite in their souls are coming out of the woodwork to rub salt in the wounds of trans people, as they do every time our human rights are stripped from us, so if you have trans friends in your life, please reach out, support, and console them. 💜

If you know my video work, you know Zilla, but you won’t quite know what a force for good they’ve been in my life. They’re kind, talented, supportive, and they deserve all the happiness.

We have a window of opportunity, and we're taking it. After a decade-plus of rough emergency living, we're finally able to get a family-sized unit & make a proper home for ourselves. Please help if you can, even if it's just a share. And thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer.

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

Telegraph headiline: "Heatwave hysterics wouldn't have lasted a day in 1976", overlaid with a bold “MONK DEBUNKED” stamp.

I really need people to understand that Palantir is not an engineering marvel; it is a multi-billion-dollar contractual containment layer wrapped around the world's ugliest legacy open source frankenstack. It's a shitty Snowflake for companies that don't know how to do data engineering.

social media that's bad for minors is obviously bad for adults too. crazy to me that the move seems to be to just accept that and ban minors rather than regulate the obvious design patterns that were put in there on purpose which make it harmful to its users

the feds are coming in hard in Minneapolis today it looks like, targeting legal observers. I heard this from a friend there: "An alert was just posted to lock your doors and don’t open them for ICE/officials without a signed warrant. Twin Cities Legal observers’ homes are being raided... [cont'd]

Margaret Killjoy@margaret.bsky.social · 2mo ago

electronics confiscated, and they are getting arrested. 15 people arrested this morning, many in South Minneapolis. 612-644-2654 (legal observers guild, arrest hotline) 612-200-0844 (first defense hotline, if arrested in Hennepin County, for a volunteer lawyer visit)."

And just like that, it completely VANISHED from the media. But a sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record The Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children. Don't trust me... listen to him 👇
