For victims of abuse, calling a helpline can be the first step to freedom.

That’s why this Government is boosting funding for specialist services who are there to listen, offer support and guide those at risk to safety.

I'm not above doxxing anybody. And I dc how you feel about it.

If any of you were serious abt dismantling the failing systems of oppression you'd spend more time doxxing cops and organizing a psychological terror campaign against them

When we beat them, and we will, I hope we remember not to over-value these institutions or the community members they produce. They are not, and never have been, better than the rest of us.

The only light in Gaza right now is from Israeli bombs.

We have blocked, muted, and logged out.

We have went outside. We have shared memes for laughs.

Only to be told "the algorithm!" when we attempt to use this shit meaningfully by people who have not logged out this entire time.

Some of us have been TRYING to use it for interaction, new ideas, art, etc. "The algorithm" for us has been ads and obvious engagement attempts that have degraded our experience. A constant eye sore we're being told that has all of us in a vice grip.

What’s announced is appalling—and we’ll fight it with every spoon we’ve got.

But the biggest threats (like PIP 4+ & LCWRA changes) are far off for existing claimants and there is transitional protection .

We have time.

We have each other.

Please don’t do anything rash x
