Welcome the positive signs coming from Government on this.
Young people should be protected from the clear harms social media pose. Industry has had long enough to get its house in order, and the Online Safety Act doesn’t go far enough.

Many Labour MPs back an Australian led ban on social media for under 16s.
The UK Government should give it full consideration.

ICE is NOT psychotic. they are hateful, fascist, evil, horrible, motherfuckers. but they are not /psychotic/. people who are actually psychotic., i.e. lost in a world of hallucination and delusion and confusion, are some of the MOST at risk of being murdered by law enforcement

This story is both horrifying & a stark reminder why PRIDE month cannot continue to be a celebration of colourful consumption.
Be angry, confrontational, never talk to the pigs, & make bigots scared to be recognized in public.

That shit about Jonathan Joss was already bad on its own because it seemed like senseless gun violence when it was initially reported. Now that the circumstances are out there, it's 10x worse. That's why it's important to stand up for LGBTQ+ people. Nobody should ever have to deal with that.

Darkest Wokest Take:
Every "revolution" that does not center the needs of the most exploited, the most vulnerable, the most abject, the most reviled, and the most marginal, is not only doomed to fail, but it's not even really a revolution. It's a reshuffling of the deck.
Troon out or perish.

sorry, there's such little time as things continue to intensify. you're ignoring the needs of a good over-half of the working and underclassed population because you're stuck believing that the default worker is an adult man and misogyny is just a side problem addressed later

Less complaining about how big rallies don't do anything, more brainstorming about how to activate their attendees to get involved with targeted campaigns, direct action, and mutual aid.

Annoying lefty infighting doesn’t hold a candle to the millions and millions of dollars in dark money + institutional support that right wing content creators get. This is how they pipeline. They admit this is how they pipeline. They’ve been saying this for 10+ years let’s be real

Regardless of whether the anti-trans stuff in the US can actually be implemented or withstand judicial scrutiny, it has significant narrative power, and will be used to legitimise and justify further violence against trans people the world over.

Maybe the most indicative move of Trump's self-destructive nationalism thus far. The US will "save" a pittance in the short run with this freeze, hurt millions of people in the global south as a result, & let America's rivals (namely China) step into the aid vacuum & win immense influence.

A ceasefire deal might mean an end to immediate bloodshed (provided that Israel actually adheres to it, which they demonstrably often don't) but does not mean an end to our observation or advocacy for Boycotts, Divestment, & Sanctions. As long as Zionism exists it must be challenged & dismantled.
