5) Press panic and social media manipulation to raise saliency 6) Secure elite support for your demand (fewer minorities in public life and less legal support for them)

This is exactly what happened with trans people first. 1) Take a settled matter of human rights 2) Portray it as "a debate" 3) Invite the minority group to debate - either they validate the debate or self-exclude <- we are here 4) Require that discussions of minority human rights are "balanced"

I love maths, I did a PhD in it, I do a job where I use maths everyday. But I also love history, music, literature, and they are as important as maths. And I studied maths because I like it, not because it "offers most value to the nation". We need all subjects in universities.

Finding it really telling right now we CAN arrest people holding signs peacefully about their political views. But we CAN'T arrest men beating women with literal sticks at Reform UK for expressing their views. So freedom of speech includes violence now for certain groups?

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Leo Messi is clearly the GOAT but can we acknowledge that he had a terrible final. He was just as much of a dead weight as CR7 earlier. He’s had some great moments this World Cup but not today

He may not personally shithouse, but he's blatantly comfortable with the shithouseing of the rest of the team and there's something mildly pathetic to him whenever he's complaining to the ref (a trait he shares with Harry Kane, tbf)

Messi’s been a passenger this game. You can’t have a player doing nothing in defence against a team this good with the ball. Certainly not with ten men

When Argentina win this on penalties can we at least be spared all the post-facto articles explaining why they were the best team Or for that matter the Messi’s still got it nonsense. He’s done absolutely nothing

I hope I’m wrong but these changes are madness. We can’t play defence v attack for 15 mins against Messi

This game has really exposed France’s midfield. Rabiot has been ok this tournament but even before he went off they couldn’t lay a glove on Fabian Ruiz and Rodri. Their attacking riches count for nothing if they don’t have the ball

The juxtaposition of this tweet being directly below this pinned tweet is really something

A screenshot of two posts on X (formerly Twitter).

The first post is indicated to be a pinned tweet by J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling), which reads:

"If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.

If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.

If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.

If you believe" (the remainder of the post is cut off in this screencap)

The next post, directly below 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"

Donald Trump has no shame, but Folarin Balogun is a class act. He spoke to Belgian head coach, Rudi Garcia, after the match. Garcia said of Balogun "He came to talk to me. I really liked that. It is not his fault. He is not the one to blame. That's what I told him." H/T @resistrebelrevolt.net

Pochettino thoroughly debased himself in this tournament and before it with his sucking up to Trump and his gleeful acceptance of open corruption in his favour. He richly deserved this humiliation even if his players didn’t.

It’s depressing how quickly the Balogun debate has devolved to US fans saying “FIFA’s always been corrupt so it’s all OK” vs literally everyone else saying “this corrupt decision stinks” Sure FIFA has always been corrupt but that doesn’t make it ok

This is why they're all obsessed with "virtue signaling" -- it's the only way their brains can process virtue! They do not believe in the real thing, so when they encounter it, their instinctive assumption is that it's some kind of performance or trick.

This thread inadvertently captures the key problem with the Democratic Party - it’s apparatchiks don’t think it should stand for anything except not being the Republicans. This is politics as team sports that completely ignores the myriad issues that need addressing in the US and across the Globe
