I’m honestly shocked that the clear pattern of targeted strikes against reporters hasn’t been covered more extensively. It’s completely blatant.

Imagine going through a rough patch with your boyfriend and thousands of Chinese netizens comfort you

This Friday, in the second of our @newlinesmag studio interviews, I sit down with the brilliant @jasmineelgamal. We discuss the US presidential race, her time at Gitmo and in Iraq, the war in Gaza - and what it's like to be on a plane that you can start a war from.

🚨This will be the last post we share here.

We believe there is no point in telling our human stories anymore; everyone has grown accustomed to seeing us killed. It's no longer worth the risk to send our voice out to a world that is content with mere solidarity. Even many of our human stories no longer interest people (even our voice is being ignored).

It's time to stop waiting for a savior and to help ourselves survive.

Please try to keep us in your prayers.

@Mr_Seers @LasagneWest @esjesjesj Probably also worth noting that twin studies strongly suggest being trans is pretty heritable

[Tom Harwood @tomhfh]

Anti trans accounts on here have succumbed to so much brain rot that they’re calling every female Olympian they cast eyes upon a man despite the fact that they were born female.

Beyond radicalised. Just really dumb.

The crackdown on antisemitism doesn’t actually have much to do with antisemitism https://t.co/eilogqSdch via @prismreports

“we should be funding schools and bridges instead of making people so insane with social issues that they’re impossible to talk to at thanksgiving” is probably the best political strategy i’ve heard in a long time lol

[Faisal Al Yafai @FaisalAlYafai]

The @newlinesmag event about @alexjrowell's new book on Nasser was fantastic. You can see the full event (with @LinaKhatibUK) at this link. If you're in London this Friday, you can join us again @frontlineclub | https://t.co/gftbfu3kLy and https://t.co/vvo3b3rKLj

Every council in Scotland is subject to FOI, but when they get together and call themselves COSLA they're suddenly exempt from transparency laws.

And now...

[Matthew Sitman @MatthewSitman]

This is what I mean about Vance. Trump is a bad guy, but weird and, if I can put it this way, himself. A person wrenching himself into ideological shape to pursue power is a different kind of animal—a fanatic who long ago buried his conscience

[Matthew Sitman @MatthewSitman]

It’s really something. Notable too because if anything the shooter being a Republican makes the story more “interesting” from a journalistic perspective, not less

[Corinne Green @gaynarcan]

perfect example of how this anti-trans pogram ramped up so fast: unprincipled people selfishly following incentives created by capital to rabidly attack us in return for money, power, and status. been saying this for years but vance makes it clear as day.

[Danny Postel @DannyPostel]

What does J.D. Vance really believe? His bestseller Hillbilly Elegy provides some clues but that book's message is actually at odds with the ideology Vance has embraced since his reinvention as a MAGA politician, as @Meredith_McC explains in @newlinesmag.
