Meantime, human beings waste their time with climate change deniers like Trump, Hansen, Farage. At least the dinosaurs didn’t send themselves extinct. https://t.co/AJGO0jvQeQ

Some of the most cowardly, virulent misogynists on the planet. Can't even deal with seeing a woman's eyes or letting her attend the 7th grade, hard to imagine a more pathetic group of men.

For those who were so concerned about inflation in the run-up to the 2024 election, the inflation rate was 2.9% during Biden's last year in office. Today, with Donald and the White House in charge of the economy, inflation has risen to 4.2%.

4.2 > 2.9

I stand with the brave women of Afghanistan who face guns, bullets, beatings and arrest, simply for saying no to forced hijab.

I tried to cover my face. I couldn't breathe behind that piece of cloth for even a few seconds. A total humiliation. And the Taliban is demanding Afghan women wear it for a lifetime.

To every Western politician who calls the burqa Afghan "culture" you’re better listen to Women, Afghanistan, and Iran, who lived under Islamic regimes. You're sitting in a parliament in a free country, with a salary and a vote and a podium calling this culture. This is a total betrayal to us who are wounded but unbowed to our oppressors.

Stop legitimizing Taliban. Be the voice of women of Afghanistan. Who wants to end this Apartheid regime.

This is reproductive slavery.

A internet inteira só consegue falar sobre a "fertilidade" de Mariam Nabatanzi.

Mas essa história nunca foi sobre biologia.
Foi sobre um crime silencioso.

Aos 12 anos, ela foi vendida pelo próprio pai para um homem de 57 anos.

Ela se tornou a quinta esposa em um casamento sem amor e cheio de abusos.

"Aos 18 anos, eu já tinha 18 filhos e implorei por ajuda médica."

O médico a proibiu de usar anticoncepcionais, dizendo que a única forma de não morrer era continuar tendo bebês devido à sua condição.

Ninguém percebeu o verdadeiro absurdo.
A própria madrasta que a criou se tornou amante do seu marido e teve filhos com ele.

Em 2015, o homem vendeu a casa da família e fugiu com todo o dinheiro, deixando-a com as crianças.

"Uma de minhas filhas se formou em enfermagem, foi para a Rússia e nunca mais me deu notícias."

Hoje, ela trabalha em 5 empregos diferentes para sustentar os filhos sozinha.

Reduzir a vida de Mariam a um "caso impressionante de fertilidade" é ignorar uma sequência brutal de abandonos, abusos e falhas do sistema.

@thrluv Its all about their god. They don’t care about the child. They actively despise the mother. They are building their stairway to heaven on their backs.

Rinehart has spent millions on platforming One Nation, largely via Murdoch produced, pro One Nation advertorials

This rise in Far Right, Trumpian BS is exactly why billionaires should never be allowed to control our media

Billionaires are the enemies of Democracy

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

BREAKING: @tedlieu just said what we were all thinking:

"President Trump has repeatedly fallen asleep at multiple Cabinet meetings, at multiple White House events, and most recently at a raucous basketball game last night. The White House needs to explain why Trump keeps going to the hospital and why they keep giving him cognitive tests..

[wisteria ⚢ @wistofthevalley]

If I’m being fr all the arguments about if abortion is murder, if fetuses are living human beings, all of it is just a distraction from the real issue which is bodily autonomy. You can’t be forced to donate blood or organs so why should you be forced to use your body for a fetus?

[Wazhma Tokhi @WazhmaTokhi]

People protesting the mass arrests of women and girls in Herat, who dared to stand up for their rights and dignity, were met with Taliban gunfire, beatings, arrests, and violence.

This is the reality of Taliban rule: a regime so threatened by unarmed women that it responds to their voices with force.

The push for normalization, engagement, and recognition has helped whitewash a system built on oppression and the erasure of women from public life.

The world was told that Afghanistan had achieved “security” and “stability.” But there can be no security or stability where women are punished for speaking out, and no peace where fundamental human rights are treated as crimes.

There was also the biggest protest for women this morning in Afghanistan we’ve seen in years, and the media hasn’t posted anything about it.

As Greens MP Dr Amanda Cohn wrote for Women’s Agenda, “there is evidence, though, that criminalising sex-selective abortions harms women. It restricts access to healthcare, subjecting women to racial and cultural profiling and turns doctors into police.” https://t.co/OaXWeTCNtM

curiosidade: só mulheres transmitem DNA mitocondrial, que pode permanecer praticamente inalterado por milhares de anos.

então, tecnicamente, a única linhagem contínua é a da mulher.

é por isso que conseguimos rastrear uma ancestral comum a todos os humanos vivos.

Als Frau sollst du bitte mindestens zwei Kinder bekommen, die später Steuern zahlen. Aber bitte auch ganz schnell wieder Vollzeit arbeiten. Aber bitte auch gut um die Kinder kümmern. Und um den Haushalt. Außerdem bitte schön und schlank sein.

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

able-bodied persons had better wake up to the (inevitable) fact that if they/we live long enough, we will be disabled; & if we live longer, we will be severely disabled. this MAGA/GOP war against "disabled" persons is actually terrifying.
you may think that you are 100% healthy but, face it, you are one bloodwork or CAT-scan away from un-healthy. one hour in your life can alter it forever.

have some sympathy for the disabled & what this administration is threatening before it is too late.

Fascism does not arrive saying “I am fascism.” It arrives saying “law and order,” “border security,” “anti-woke,” “election integrity,” and “national emergency.”

Women didn't fight for the right to work. Women have always worked. Women fought for the right to get paid.
