“I’m disgusted to be British for our role in GEN0CIDE in G٨z٨.”
Iconic UK fashion designer Katharine Hamnett threw her CBE award away in protest against Britain’s role in lsr@el’s war on G٨z٨.
Hats off to her❤️
Quite a few folk have said that they missed my photos. This has given me a small boost that counters the dark relentless depression whose controlling voice is my brain's inner git-when I'm not well she tells me that my posts, work (& me) are utter worthless sh*te.
Here are some of my photos to make up a little for my absence due to brain illness. I design them using recent research on how looking at plants, flowers & plant-based patterns improve human mental health.
If you zoom in & they make your brain feel better, even slightly, for a few seconds, maybe...RT this? ty:
the best thing a therapist ever told me is “you’re not lazy, you only have a certain amount of energy and right now you’re using it all to survive” and i know someone else needs to hear that too
This old man, who was going to speak against gender-affirming care in the Wisconsin state legislature, changed his mind after actually speaking to and listening to trans people for several hours.
Don’t let your hate block your willingness to learn:
I need people to understand this kind of response would not have happened if people didn’t demand it. I cannot stress this enough. We need to be constantly vigilant and continue to push at every level of government.
Growing up in Italy, you get to learn about how in 1931 university professors were demanded to swear allegiance to the fascist regime, and how *just 18 of them* (out of 1200+) refused to do so, and lost their job.
Mahmoud Khalil isn’t an illegal alien.
He isn’t a terrorist.
He’s a Columbia graduate student and a legal U.S. resident. He's a husband. And his wife, a US Citizen—8 months pregnant—has no idea where he is.
The Department of Homeland Security snatched him off campus, disappeared him without a trace. No charges. No trial. Just gone.
This is how authoritarian regimes operate.
It's what happens when the First Amendment only applies to the “right” kind of people—it's only a trial balloon for a broader crackdown on speech.
If they can do it to Khalil, they can do it to you.
First, they come for the speech of legal immigrants.
If we don't speak up, do you know what comes next?
If Israel tortures one of Gaza's most prominent doctors for 13 days straight, even though the world's eyes are on this man, what is it doing to the thousands of other men, women and children it's grabbed off Gaza's streets?
We reported then, and we keep reporting, that NATO’s Article 5 has only ever ONCE been invoked: to protect and defend the United States of America after 9/11.
I’m sorry but this isn’t getting enough attention.
When RFK Jr. was asked about a young child who died of measles in Texas, he responded “It's not unusual. We have measles outbreaks all the time.”
This is the first Measles death in the US in 10 years.
Anyone who grew up in the 1980s, as I did, will remember the same mainstream machine doing anti-gay propaganda. People look back now and wince, and can't believe that in a relatively modern era people could be so openly, wantonly hateful.
But history is repeating now. 16/
You can do 1000 Twitter threads pointing out that this story and others are untrue, but you simply can't compete with a machine that includes the Times UK, Sky News and the New York Times, none of them giving a shit about the actual truth, concerned with printing propaganda. 10/
