I double-checked this on a couple of Xitter stat sites and it's true. Average views of the main AfD account dropped 90% and average engagement dropped by 60%. This is commercial social media for you: bots, damn bots and Russian bots.

“Companies” do not make decisions. Humans who hold disproportionate power within them do. Name the humans and hold them accountable. There are countless examples of failure on this, including with the bank crisis, Boeing, and tech industry harms.

This is something I've been saying for ages re: how centrists treat the left. If left-wing positions aren't popular enough to win elections, then left-wing voters can't lose an election for you. If left-wing voters can tip an election for you, their positions need to be accommodated.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

Not nearly enough people, including "climate advocates", grasp that every molecule of fossil carbon we put into the atmosphere damages the climate and biosphere permanently. Once this sinks in you think very differently about climate policy.

Instead of throwing around buzzwords*, how about we try to be pragmatic? Whatever impedes techno-fascism is the correct approach. * How are "extreme" and "political violence" even defined under fascism? Was D-Day violence? Or would canceling D-Day have been the more violent choice in the end?

That may be a solution for elderly and disabled people, and children. Able people, from all groups targeted by the fascists, need to stay and start resisting. We know from history that exile from fascism only works temporarily and only if you have an army fighting and defeating the fascists for you.

It's not actually rocket science. Fascism is the presence of fascists and the absence of anti-fascists. As long as people refuse to be the latter and reject any method that's ever been effective against fascism because it involves fighting, breaking the rules, taking risks, fascism will win.

I suspect this has a lot to do with American meddling, and it would be our job to stop this. But when there are fascists to fight, we'll suddenly feign helplessness and pretend to oppose any kind of rule-breaking. So we just keep exporting our fascism to the rest of the world.

Every single newspaper that reported that Jane Doe “changed her story” should be rushing to publish retractions right now. This case should be a lesson in taking a DA’s victim-blaming statements at face value. Victims do not report to the police because they thought nothing happened to them.

The Salem Witch Trials are a pretty compelling example of why we shouldn’t let religious superstition override evidence and reason. So perhaps we can understand why a pastor might not want students learning about them.

It’s so triggering (and I don’t use that word lightly) to be repeatedly ignored, dismissed, patronised and lied to by politicians and policy makers because it reflects how Alice and I were treated when she needed help and answers whilst she was alive.

“this government wants trans people and their families to feel safe and accepted in our society.” I think I can speak for most trans people and their families when I say, they don’t and increasingly they aren’t, precisely because of Labour’s decisions. How can they believe this stuff they type?

These prevention campaigns can have a really negative impact on those left behind. And they detract from the real systemic issues that need addressing that we know protect against suicide: equal access to healthcare, housing, employment, food, warmth and justice for all of us.
