this tweet raises a really good point; if kids and teenagers are going to be banned from using social media then there should also be a ban on adults (including their own parents) from posting them online

I feel like a lot of people have not read an in-depth profile of Peter Thiel. That's the only way I can explain the lack of reaction to finding out that his secret club includes elected officials etc. If you think Erik Prince is bad, Thiel is a million times worse.

This is exactly it. Lastnight I read a post on Threads about a white woman who called the cops on Black kids playing in an apartment pool, and it was only b/c mothers there spoke up for the kids that nothing happened.
She called the cops because she wanted those kids harmed.

Of course killing a baby only gets him placed on administrative leave because they never hold these pigs accountable for their crimes. He needs to be charged with murder.

[Hanner @GangstHannah]

Pay attention to the fact that governments are passing laws to end online anonymity, while also greatly limiting freedom of information laws.

It should be the opposite: Politicians actions should be 100% transparent and our privacy should be off limits

We need to fight this!

[Jamarrius @YungxJayy]

They think they have the right to murder a baby and then brutalize the people who are rightfully protesting. These people have been allowed to get away with nonstop brutality and abuse of power for way too long.

She did NOT steal the diapers but even if she did IT’S NOT A CAPITAL LEVEL OFFENSE or even a FELONY in most states, the threshold is too low. Trigger happy cops playing judge jury and executioner over $50 diapers?!

We say Black Lives Matter because y’all need to be reminded

I am in south Lebanon, where countless Lebanese families are heading back home.

Passing through the historic city of Tyre you are confronted by overwhelming Israeli devastation that envelopes the senses; downed residential homes, burned out vehicles, and damaged ambulances. But people are returning, some on foot, others packed tightly into vehicles that are running only by the grace of God.

The pain of forced displacement has been soothed by the balm of a precarious return.

You don’t get these tweets when a human is killed by the LAPD.

[Stephen Wade @StephenWadeAP]

LA Olympics looking for 60,000 unpaid volunteers. By not paying, IOC saves estimated $100-$200 million. IOC income is about $12 billion. This feels like exploitation. IOC could pay but doesn’t. LA CEO Reynold Hoover gets $500,000. Everyone cashes in but most athletes and vols.

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

This is the type of coercion disabled people talk about.

This woman didn’t want MAiD.

Was she free to say No? Technically.

Is it easy to say No when it’s being pushed on you and you’re vulnerable and alone? No.

Listen to disabled voices. They have the most to lose.

[Carolyn Hinds 🇧🇧 #FreePalestine #CongoInCrisis @CarrieCnh12]

The Mississippi cop killed a baby because the management at Walmmart claimed A BABY was shoplifting a pack of diapers (bis mother had a receipt), and now they police have unleashed tear gas on community members protesting the execution of a baby.

This is America.

[Rohingya Humanitarian Initiative (RHI) @Rhi1012946Rhi]

Only 1 days left!

We still need £160 to reach our goal and support vulnerable Rohingya refugees.If just 8 people donate £20 each, we can get there today.

Every donation makes a difference. Please donate and share.

You don't need the government to implement an N95 mandate to wear an N95. You don't need the government to ban GenAI to stop using it. You can do the right thing on your own.

The suffering of a disabled person only matters when they want to die, but not when they want to live.

[susan abulhawa | سوزان ابو الهوى @susanabulhawa]

I just want to say that Israel murdering members of the Palestinian resistance is illegitimate, and we should use proper language around this issue.
For a long time, I was bothered by the reference to civilians when it came to counting the murdered, because implicit is the idea that Israel murdering resistance fighters is somehow okay. It's much like the way that the reference to women and children implies that the killing of men is okay.
Whether Hamas, Jabha, Shoyouiyyeh, etc., they are also civilians. They are indigenous, armed civilian resistance movements against a belligerent, expansionist, foreign colonial cancer.

Dragged out of bed at 4:30am in a dawn raid and detained for 8 hours for sending "persistent emails"

[Iman Sultan @karachiiite]

men in uniform sexually coercing and enacting sexual violence on vulnerable women (often of color) is extremely commonplace and normalized, it's only in rare instances that stories come out or are documented due to the shame and power surrounding sexualized harm
