Not voting isn't a protest. It is a green light for others to hike your rent, track your data, and shape your neighborhood without you. They don't need your approval; they just need you to stay home. Don't let them win by default. #LetsGetVoteReady #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

I never would have thought that the Washington Post would then label me a threat to them and purge me from their pages — after putting my life on the line to call for justice after Jamal’s murder. Cruelty upon cruelty upon cruelty.

When I get down about what has become of journalism, of speaking the truth, I think of Jamal. I lost my Washington Post job. Jamal lost his life. Both of us — all we wanted to do was write and help people.

A man builds an IED. He sets it off in a busy public street. Shrapnel flies about hitting cars, homes and a child's bedroom. It's a miracle nobody is injured. And Reform MP Sarah Pochin calls his imprisonment "disproportionate" and "two tier justice."
It does raise this point of two-tiered
justice..


Reform's Sarah Pochin believes the
sentence handed to the 64-year-old who
blew up a ULEZ camera was
disproportionate'.

Zionism is majority Christian. Specifically, White Supremacist Far Right Evangelical Christian. Extraordinary this isn't pointed out. It ties into their wildly unchristian and unbiblical endtimes fantasy - which involves Jesus returning and k***ing all but a handful of Jews who are converted.

I think its fucking telling about the patriarchal rape culture we're in that a bunch of people have spent the same week as the Cornell news trying to tell lesbians we need to be more open to being with men and we're evil if we don't.

Blocked by the head of "safety" for pointing out that if he tells an LLM to classify posts as Abusive based on a sample of posts from trans people, it will block trans people. Not abusive posters 🤷🏼‍♀️ This is AI classification and ethics 101. Everyone knows the tank story. Except this wally 🤦🏼‍♀️

Graham Linehan is calling the people who murdered a trans man in cold blood, heroes.
Screenshot of an X post by Graham Linehan (@Glinner) commenting, "It looks like these two are heroes who may have saved some kids".
Linehan quotes a post by Andy Ngo (@MrAndyNgo) that reads: "Damn. According to a witness of the shooting homicide of the trans New York Times executive in Dublin, Calif., the elderly Chinese grandparents calmly walked away after the exec was dropped to the ground".
Below the text are two police mugshot photos side by side: on the left is an elderly Asian woman with short, wavy gray hair wearing a white shirt, and on the right is an elderly Asian man with short dark hair, slight facial stubble, and a white shirt.

If you talk to these people, they've been groomed all their lives to trust, obey and believe in a system designed to destroy them. It's like shaking hands with a migraine, literally makes me queasy every time. They're juggling with knives that will drop and kill strangers and then fall on them.

So if you actually care about restorative justice, the thing I beg you to start doing in these cases is CENTERING THE FUCKING VICTIMS. And not demanding that people immediately jump to how they can best not ruin the man's life.

Anyway if we want to talk about restorative justice in rape cases, we have to make...a shitload of changes to the culture first. Because at this point, it feels like a bunch of people pointing at gun at a woman and saying "WELL WHAT MINIMAL CONSEQUENCE DO YOU ACCEPT? DON'T RUIN HIS LIFE."

It is bizarre to watch people use the words "restorative justice" to center the need of someone who assaulted someone else. You simply cannot talk about restorative justice in this context without centering his victim.

The ability to pour hundreds of millions of pounds into a loss-making TV channel, bent on wrenching British politics sharply to the right, is yet another of the ways in which extreme wealth is trying to remake UK democracy. It needs to be part of any serious conversation about political funding.
