Drone strikes in Haiti.
Drone strikes. In Haiti.
By private contractors.
They’re killing Haitians for private profit & the world barely pays attention.
The story of Haiti is the story America likes to tell about itself. Except there, it’s true. And the west has never stopped punishing Haiti for it

Want a very gay, trans, and polyamorous isekai adventure?
How about a story where our protagonist is handed divine powers but isn't told how to use them?
Poor Emily has no idea what's she's doing.

Closing statement from Des' lawyer 🙏 #FreeThemAll #ZinesAreNotACrime
took me like two minutes total. don’t have to talk to anybody, don’t have to make a phone call, just have to write what you can about how payment processors shouldn’t control what consumers can buy and hit send. that’s it
all hands on deck yall, this could make a huge difference
I’d love to know why Grammarly didn’t think this was going to happen. Like what team of clearly overpaid lawyers okayed this idea in the first place?
“Yes, using and profiting from the direct likeness of people who have the time, money, clout and lawyers to obliterate you is 100% in the clear.”
When you have a problem with a trans woman on Bluesky so suddenly you whip out the they/them pronouns and rely heavily on the "this person" to describe them ... almost like a lot of the antagonism I deal with on here has a backbone of transmisogyny 🤔
tariffs happening for no reason and theyre making your life worse, secret police kidnapping people for no reason and making your life worse, firing thousands of government employees for no reason and making your life worse, going to war with iran for no reason and making your life worse
We've just learned that the person at the MHRA whose letter caused Wes 'I follow the clinical evidence' Streeting to cancel the puberty blockers trial is Professor Jacob George, the GC who enjoyed mocking trans people on his social media account.
Why did Wes Streeting cover up his name?
In Minnesota families are in hiding, teachers & neighbors are delivering groceries to those who cannot leave their homes because it is unsafe, children cannot go to school because it is unsafe.
Minnesota is under an unconstitutional federal occupation that needs to end.

#ICEOUT
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Wow, I typed 'Relooted' into Youtube looking for a little gameplay footage and immediately regretted it.
I shouldn't be surprised but the entire griftosphere is trying to do the 'Go Woke Go Broke' thing. Dozens of videos already malding over it.
If you're wondering if it's because the money was allocated to go to trans, queer, and Black people, yup, it's because the money was allocated to go to trans, queer, and Black people.
This is firmly the fault of transphobic cult leaders like JK Rowling, Kellie-Jay Keen and others who have shouted the loudest with zero thought or regard for actual trans people.
This is the fault of a Labour government who care more about appealing to the far-right than actual human lives.
I don't forget Lucy Meadows! And neither should any of us - even 13 years later!

Here we go. I feared this would start happening.

This is scary as hell, I can imagine how frightened the teacher at the centre of this must feel
I know exactly which school this is, it's not so far from where my mom lives. And yeah, there's fertile ground for cunts like Robinson around there
Tim Allan, who just quit as Starmer's director of comms, was on the board of the trans-eliminationist hate group "Sex Matters", whose director of advocacy Helen Joyce urged transphobes to get through to "decision makers" so that the "numbers" of trans people could be "reduced." That's what they did.
Epic made provably incorrect statements about the game’s content, refused to provide details supporting their claims, and has not shared their claimed AO IARC certificate, which normally includes a link for the developer to appeal. They do not ‘love that studio’, they have effectively ghosted us
Queer bookstores died in 2010. We had a funeral and everything!
Except... a ton of people decided to roll up their sleeves and start *new* queer bookshops, all over the place. In cities. In tiny towns.
My latest newsletter is about the rebirth of the LGBTQ bookshop:

Neo Monster Island is a safe safe for the LGBTQ+ community. There is NO TOLERANCE for hate, for denying transitional care, for shoving the Bi out of LGBTQ+, for treating who you love as a mental disease, nor for equating pedophilia to homosexuality. Nazi punk fuck off. Fuck off Nazi punk.

Significantly, after the Tavistock closed following the Keira Bell case in 2022, this year sees the greatest number of suicides – which aligns with what whistleblowers said.
The data raises significant questions about the Appleby report, which said no surge happened.

Thank you GLP for exposing Appleby’s report, a report the UK government repeatedly used to accuse trans people, and those that love them, of exaggerating and thereby ⬆️ the risk of suicide in trans people.
Removing health care ⬆️ risk. Abuse ⬆️ risk. Conversion practices ⬆️ risk. Gaslighting ⬆️ risk.
This is an important read. I don't want to take anything away from it. However:
It really should have been a news item informed by the Good Law Project's data. It isn't bc the British press has shut out any story that contradicts anti-trans talking points.
goodlawproject.org/new-data-sho...
One of the wickedest things Wes Streeting has ever done is push politically convenient falsehoods about suicide rates amongst young trans people. We have new data from the National Child Mortality Database that exposes the truth he tried to cover up.
Help a disabled trans woman escape the USA.
The tide is shifting. They're walking back the bullshit hype.
Deeply inevitable, entirely predicted, and the shit people running this country don't give a damn.
