"The takedowns and restrictions began in October and targeted the Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp accounts of more than 50 organisations worldwide ... in what appears to be a growing push by Meta to limit reproductive health and queer content across its platforms."
Meta shuts down global accounts linked to abortion advice and queer content
More than 50 organisations report sites being restricted or removed, with abortion hotlines blocked and posts showing non-explicit nudity triggering warnings

1/ In 2022, one year after Trump incited the seditious attack on the US Capitol, I posted a long thread of images on Twitter, because revisionist attempts to create a false narrative about that day were already well underway.
Today, in 2025, I’m re-creating/re-posting that same thread here.👇

Nobody's going to admit they're a total fucking idiot to national news but also notice the cult-like "Trump didnt cause this" rationale he gives for why he doesnt blame him. Thats the appeal of Trump: people personally admire him, its completely divorced from his actual policies.

People in California say this stupid shit about the University of California and its completely delusional. I and many other Californians got our degrees virtually for free thanks to the International students who subsidized our tuition. International students are the backbone of university research
"Last week, Vance said foreign students at elite U.S. universities are 'not just bad for national security,' but also 'bad for the American dream, for American kids who want to go to a nice university but can’t because their spot was taken by a foreign student.'"

Universities are caving to Trump with a stunning speed and scope
Some of the nation’s oldest and wealthiest institutions are swiftly bending to President Donald Trump, who is acting on longstanding conservative criticisms of universities as elitist and progressive.

FRIENDS: a new piece for @crikey.com.au out today. Australia's industrial and fossil mining climate regulation allows unlimited carbon offsetting
A huge batch of new data makes the story clear: it doesn't reduce emissions, but it DOES increase carbon offset profits -->>

Ssh! This is why Labor doesn't talk about the safeguard mechanism
Labor's safeguard mechanism is clearly ineffective at reducing real carbon emissions. It's a mandated greenwashing scheme.

Trump says electric vehicles suck, but wants you to buy a Tesla to help Elon, but he wants to dismantle Biden's plans to expand EV charging infrastructure. Why is that so incoherent?

2025 will be a challenging year. A great deal of power is concentrated in the hands of a tech oligarchy. Meanwhile, screens distract the masses from important issues, shifting focus away from what truly matters.
