What even would justice look like in a world where rape and the damage it causes demonstrably lowers the quality of lives of its victims, across the board ostracising them from communities, chasing them out of jobs, keeping them stuck? I think it’s entirely reasonable to say an apology isn’t enough

Nicky Hager book is unusual because its main thesis seems to be "they are just doing all this bad faith money-for-racism stuff in plain sight and the media don't seem to perceive it as bad" Media: "Hmm this Hager book has no revelations in it, we knew all this already, oh well carry on as normal"

“If the complaint letter and subsequent settlement do not exist, as Jordan Williams and David Farrar claim, then they will have no problem publicly waiving any and all rights they have to any claims of confidentiality, non-disclosure, or privilege, in relation to them,” Hager said.” #nzpol

Left-wing podcasters and substackers asserting that Nicky Hager is revealing “nothing new” smacks of petty jealousy resulting from their comparatively small audiences and influence, and shows that people really need to get a clue about doing basic research and playing the long game.

it's depressing that the noblogs takedown was both an overt attack on internet privacy as part of the broader attempts to de-anonymize & surveil the internet AND an overreach of american power (unilaterally overruling international sovereignty) & no non-anarchists had anything to say about it

RISKS POSED BY VIOLENT FAR-LEFT TERRORISM

The 2026 U.S. Counterterrorism Strategy identifies violent far-left terrorist groups as one of the three major terrorist threats facing the United States today.  Building on the State Department’s November 13, 2025 action targeting so-called antifascist groups (“Antifa”) engaged in violent and criminal acts, Treasury is targeting Autistici/Inventati, Palestine Action, and Masar Badil, including two of its senior leaders, as part of a U.S. government-wide effort to protect Americans from the risks posed by far-left terrorism.

Don't fall for this. Rowling wants trans people to self censor and to stop sharing the report. If this report really was as defamatory as she claims, she wouldn't be cheering on its spread. What she really wants is a costly settlement from AI UK, humiliating apology, and permanent silence.
​A screenshot of a thread on X (formerly Twitter). The main post is a quote tweet by J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling), which reads:
​"Shout out to all trans activists sharing the blacklist of women's and gay rights organisations published by @AmnestyUK! You're demonstrating very effectively that in spite of their hasty backtrack it can be easily accessed forevermore, increasing legal liability. Thank you! ❤️"
​Rowling is quote-tweeting a user named Lesbian Lenin 🇵🇸 🔻 🇵🇸 (@xstaffsuck), whose post reads:
​"The report btw, documenting how TERF orgs work hand in hand w/ anti-abortionists, christian nationalists, & anti-LGBT+ (yes, you too, c*s queers!) orgs to push trans genocide
​To be anti-trans is to be anti-abortion, is to be a christian nazi, is to be anti-queer
​Report is below"
​The user @xstaffsuck is, in turn, quoting an earlier tweet from J.K. Rowling, which reads:
​"Should any of the women's organisations targeted by @AmnestyUK's recent 'anti-rights' blacklist wish to take legal action, applications can be made to the JK Rowling Women's Fund. jkrwf.org"

Changing hearts and minds is not a viable political strategy. It’s not even as worthy a goal as people think. You don’t have the power to change people, you can’t choose the way they change, and centering it is more likely to make you a power-hungry, controlling fucker than achieve the end you want.

“Vera,” said the countess, turning to her older daughter, obviously not her favorite. “How is it you have no notion of anything?”

Why has fate given you two such nice children (excluding Anatole, your youngest, I don’t like him),” she put in peremptorily, raising her eyebrows, “such lovely children? And you really value them less than anyone and are therefore unworthy of them.”
		And she smiled her rapturous smile.”

    RESEARCH BRIEFINGS
    18 February 2026

Turning on the ‘for you’ feed on X shifted political opinions, but turning it off did not
A field experiment shows that turning on the algorithmic feed on the social-media platform X in 2023 shifted political opinions to the right, whereas turning it off had no effect on political attitudes. The algorithmic feed led users to follow more right-leaning accounts, which they continued following when the algorithm was off.
