the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled
BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

120,000 men were surveyed in a longitudinal study and one-third of respondents were prepared to admit they perpetuated abuse in their relationships.
Perpetration increased with age - regardless of cultural background, sexuality, socioeconomic status, etc.

The results of a landmark longitudinal study into domestic violence paint a grim picture, but they also point to key solutions, especially before men offend.
1 in 3 men report using intimate partner violence. Here’s how we can better protect women – and help men

Everything about the widespread use of AI is concerning but can we talk about its increasing applications on social media to whitewash history and erase people of colour from their own stories, by replacing them with Caucasian imposters?

Imagine being the moderator of a sub where people discuss awkward fictional pairings, a user expresses discomfort with a 16-year-old dating a 14-year-old, they get dogpiled, but you ban that user and not those dogpiling them for having The Wrong Opinion

A friend who works in crisis support told me that their teams are being trained to use the term "people who use #violence" instead of "#perpetrators" when addressing #domesticviolence.

Do you reckon we could have a chat about the gatekeeping of training and certification in the therapeutic space? Psychs, counsellors etc. trying to establish themselves are stymied because OPD is so cost-prohibitive.
Seriously, who’s got $3000 to pay PER course? Not just in this economy but ever?

Got in after 1.5 hours, kept refreshing to look for tickets, and then I was booted out from the sale.
Someone joined the queue at the minute the sale started, only had around 500 people ahead of them, and got tickets in minutes.
The queue does not exist. It is a concept of a queue.

Explain to me how the number of people ahead of me in the Ticketek queue for Gaga tickets is going UP, not DOWN.

@lisamallan.bsky.social Hi, Lisa. As the editor of the Newcastle Herald, can you explain why the paper has continued to run Trumpet of Patriots ads on 50% of the front page, and amplified hateful rhetoric despite clear and large community objection - and more from within your staff?

I can't believe this is a statement that needs to be made but all right, let's do this:
A person living with special needs is NOT "karma" for that person being born as a consequence of infidelity.
#Disability is not moral punishment or failure on the part of a parent.
Get a grip.
