One of the most demoralizing themes of our current time is not that people like the Tate brothers exist - they have always existed. It’s that, for a time at least, they were driven into the shadows. They lost society’s endorsement. But they have once again become the template for a whole generation.

I can only hope that it changes them. It would be wonderful if they broke free from the shackles of m misogyny, and became supportive of all women, including respecting themselves.

Been a while since I wrote poetry. I seem to have improved without practice. I think this is because I'm writing about my feelings and beliefs. Decided to share one. Most are personal and I won’t share publicly. This is feminist poetry. www.deviantart.com/falconerb/ar...

I think often of a New York Times photo of a little Iraqi girl tending to her parakeets in a bombed house, probably from 20 years ago now. I will think of this man and his sweet dog often now too. People just want to love what they love, care for their little beings, and instead we do this to them

Does anyone else cry when they see these videos? I’m not even an easy crier, and I don’t know what kind of bottled low grade trauma is living in my subconscious that makes this a constant, but whenever I see these the tears just come.

A lot of Iranians thought Trump would save them, but he made things worse, and murdered their families. Even if they do one day take their country back they will probably still hate America for this.

Abusive men are gonna love these laws. They’ll take a woman’s cards away from her stopping her from proving that she’s an adult. And what about a kid looking for help on Google? They can’t find rape crisis information because Google has it down as adults only.

It’s caused me a lot of anxiety for the future when this will be on every store and search engine in six months. This is hurting adults, especially disabled adults. On top of all of this is the security concerns. Get rid of these laws. Find something better. #auspol

A lot of adults do not have a credit card nor do they want one. Like me. The photo technology is completely failing on here. A lot of websites do not accept Australian government proof of age card. Passport costs too much. Can’t drive with my disability. #auspol

Originally written on X. People think Age Verification is only about porn. No it stops you from viewing some News stories, you can’t buy R rated games or movies, can’t even see some medical things because the medical drawings have nudity in them. Lots more, & the TECHNOLOGY DOESN’T WORK. #auspol

I’m surprised I haven’t been. I have asked many times on TwitterX if she still supports Trump as he protects the men shown to have raped children in the Epstein files.

I looked into it and she is not. The United States and the UK said her group are not terrorists in 2012 and 2009. The allegations were made up by Iran who fears a feminist revolution against them. www.theguardian.com/news/2018/no...

I wish the Iranian women’s soccer team could stay here until it’s safe for them to return to Iran. No more bombs, and a feminist democracy for them to vote in.

I’ve posted a screenshot on Twitter to the post. This is horrific. Trump’s not even religious. Does he want the world to end because he’s going to die from old age?

According to theologians the Bible’s description of the abomination of desolation is very similar to nuclear war. They are saying that they want to end the world. WTH?

They are a feminist group. They want equality for women and men. I can't tell you anything about MEK. I haven't read them, I've only been following Iranian feminist women and RTing on X over the years so the world doesn't forget them.

You can support the people of Iran and still despise Trump. Personally I like what NCRI & their leader Maryam Rajavi have been saying. From what I've seen reported they have the support of the majority of Iranians. They want democracy and freedom of religion, but out of politics.

Not up to me, the POTUS, or anyone other than the Iranian people. I don’t know the history of all the groups, but I do know what Iranian feminists have been writing over the last few years, & the people of Iran have been raped, tortured in other ways, & killed for wanting freedom.

He should also stand trial for the Epstein files. They should do both at the same time. Everyone should have justice and I don’t know how much time is left.

Trump is a monster of a man who should be tried for war crimes and crimes against humanity. He shouldn’t be allowed on the world stage unless it’s his trial. His Secretary for war should be arrested with him. Civilian killers.

Most wars are evil, they should never have happened, but there are just reasons to fight a war. To say otherwise is to say you would have done nothing as the Nazis slaughtered innocent civilians.

I’m seeing posts saying that people shouldn’t go to war for ANY reason. If Ukraine or the civilians in Sudan and Congo doesn’t fight they will be raped, they will be slaughtered. They are being raped and murdered and most of the world doesn’t seem to care. They do nothing.

I heard the song War when I was a kid and I thought that it was blind. Without war the guy singing it would be a slave. The Holocaust would have amounted into billions of life’s lost to the gas chambers and ovens of the Nazi regime. Should the Ukrainians give up?
