The cancel culture and violence only goes one way. Women might campaign, voice their fears, wishes & concerns but they don’t do any of this 👇🏼

[Emma Hilton @FondOfBeetles]

Indeed.

It doesn’t matter if the fingers are male or female, it’s sexual assault.

And if people defend this as a normal thing in wrestling, then wrestling needs a hard drive check.

[Jennifer 🟥🔴🧙‍♀️🦉🐈‍⬛ 🦖 @babybeginner]

In case you haven’t heard, a boy pretended to be a girl, entered the girls’ wresting tournament, and while wrestling put his fingers INSIDE a girl. A judge ruled that it’s all just a part of wrestling.

Will anyone EVER stand up for the girls????

[Biology in Medicine @biologyinmed]

Why are we giving girls testosterone to masculinise their appearance? It cannot change them into men, but it will destroy their health.

Young people have been sold a lie.

Is anyone surprised that this chancer sees nothing wrong with shattering the spine of a police officer, so long as it's in the name of 'Palestine'

[Martina Navratilova @Martina]

They are proud of mutilating kids whose brains are not yet fully formed… good to know

[Simon Cooke @SimonMagus]

@PulaRJS being cross about Palestine isn't a justification for hitting people with sledgehammers. Fuck the fuck off

To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis:

Show us your laptop.
Show us your iCloud.
Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation.

You won’t.

You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out.

That is not who we are.

My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count.

For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame.

I no longer believe that.

Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us.

And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts.

That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena.

Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next.

Life does not determine our character. It reveals it.

Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next?

We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day.

So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop.

You won’t.

The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing.

That is the only definition that matters.

[Kosher @koshercockney]

My heart breaks seeing this Jewish owned business set alight in North West London.

This cannot go on.

What can be done?

[Caroline McAllister @CallieMac009]

Any man seeking access to women’s spaces where they’re in a state of undress & at their most vulnerable is a walking red flag.🚩
Here in Scotland we’re told to celebrate them as stunning & brave🤦🏻‍♀️
Is it any wonder Scotland has a serious problem with sexual violence against women.

⚠️Bulgarian Man Guilty Of Assaulting 12YO Girl In Dundee

Ilia Belov, 22, has been found guilty of assaulting a 12YO girl and acting in a threatening or abusive manner towards four girls aged 12-14.

The court heard Belov made sexual remarks to the girl and pushed the 12YO, causing her to fall and hit her head.

Belov claimed he was acting in self defence after seeing a knife, and denied making sexual comments.

Sheriff Timothy Niven-Smith rejected his evidence as "wholly unconvincing and self-serving," calling it a "revisionist" excuse.

The sheriff accepted the girls’ accounts, supported by CCTV and other witnesses, and said Belov’s remarks triggered the confrontation.

Bulova's sister, Nadjedzha Belova, had already pleaded guilty to the assault on the 13YO girl.

⚖️Sentencing for both is set for 5th August.

🌍The case went viral last year after footage of the girl holding a knife and axe circulated widely.

Several high-profile commentators claimed the girls were lying and were the aggressors, some called it racist far-right propaganda.

➡️Shame on them.

I want those who champion men in women’s sport to explain why they’re happy to put girls at risk like this.

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

The reply below is an example of Holocaust denial.

It also shows how hatred and antisemitic ideology are spread online.

We encourage everyone to actively report hateful content when they encounter it. Silence allows such language to spread; responsible action helps stop it.

Only through shared responsibility and vigilance can we protect our communities from those who seek to harass the memory of victims, divide, and dehumanize.

In the Auschwitz camp complex, the existence of a “maternity ward” (German: Entbindungsheim) or obstetric unit was a grim paradox resulting from the evolution of Nazi policy toward different groups of prisoners and from the economic needs of Nazi Germany.

Importantly, its existence in no way negates the existence of gas chambers used for mass murder in Auschwitz.

During the initial period of the women’s camp, any pregnancy was effectively a death sentence for a prisoner. Pregnant women were considered unfit for work and were killed either by phenol injection or in the gas chambers. A turning point came in mid-1943 (probably in May), when, due to the enormous demand for labor, the camp authorities stopped killing pregnant non-Jewish prisoners. They were allowed to give birth so that, after a short period, they could return to forced labor.

Jewish children were murdered without exception, most often by drowning in a bucket, until the end of October 1944. From mid-1943 onward, non-Jewish children were allowed to live and were entered into the camp records as “new arrivals,” receiving tattooed camp numbers on their thighs or buttocks.

Most of the children who were not murdered immediately died from starvation and disease within days or weeks.

Denial of the existence of gas chambers is a disgraceful assault on the memory of all those people: Jews, Poles, Roma, Soviet prisoners of war, and all other victims. It is also a slap in the face to those prisoners who risked their lives to document and convey the truth about German crimes, as well as to the Survivors who still bear the trauma of their personal experiences.

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

Auschwitz was one camp. It gradually developed into a network of three main camps and some 50 satellite camps. It began its operation in June 1940 as another German concentration camp, but in spring 1942, it gradually turned into a simultaneous extermination camp. Learn more: https://t.co/CXoZ2ebidL
