Today, women in Afghanistan are being shot in the streets simply for anting an education, wanting a job. Wanting to work and wanting to walk outside without a man's permission.

Taliban security forces killed one person and several wounded. Dozens arrested including women and girls.

It started last Friday, when Taliban imams announced from mosque loudspeakers that women were forbidden from leaving their homes without full hijab, including face cover.

Morality police flooded Herat's streets, markets, and shopping centers, batons in hand, arresting women for their clothing.

Just one day after some men in the West rolled out the red carpet for the Taliban, normalizing them, legitimizing them, shaking their hands, you can see how savagely women being shot and beaten up in the streets.

I’m old enough to remember when the killing of an on duty police officer would be national news.

Or at least headline news in Ontario.

Now it barely registers even a blip in our biggest newspaper.

Something is very wrong in our culture. https://t.co/BqIEL7gKc4

@libsoftiktok Oh, time to re-awaken the cries for Karmelo as the ultimate victim

24 hours after footage of an African man trying to saw the head off his Scottish victim in a Belfast street circulated online, Irish politicians and journalists openly discuss on live TV how such videos can be suppressed, in future.

Bullying women into redefining ourselves as “C1s” is misogyny

@dsimieritsch Just look away, nothing to see here….Carney doing Carney and we’re just simpletons who know nothing of the higher echelons of his great elite educated knowledge

[Moose on the Loose @dsimieritsch]

Is it just a coincidence that Brookfield has just created a new renewable energy company with Mitsubishi that's operating in a handful of European countries including France and Ireland, just two days before Mark Carney is going to France and Ireland?
Carney gave no real reason why he's going over there other than "catalyse new investment into Canada, deepen trade".

Um homem de 25 anos mandou mensagem para uma menina de 13 anos.

"Oi, gatinha." "Meu sonho é ficar com você." "Seria uma honra tirar a virgindade dela."

O que ele não sabia: era a mãe quem respondia.

A mãe perguntou diretamente: "Isso não é pedofilia?"

Ele deu risada. E marcou o encontro.

Chegou lá — e encontrou a mãe.

Sete dias sem dormir. Conhecia o homem há 20 anos. Viu a filha crescer.

Ela bateu nele. Depois acionou a polícia, fez o boletim e entregou o celular como prova.

Ele foi à delegacia, prestou depoimento.

E foi embora. Não ficou preso.

Uma mãe passou 7 dias em colapso, montou uma operação, colheu as provas, entregou tudo — e o Estado soltou o homem na mesma noite.

Ela fez o trabalho da polícia, do MP e do judiciário.

E mesmo assim, não foi suficiente para mantê-lo atrás das grades.

Hello Fresh deserves to go bankrupt after this stunt. Absolutely revolting and obscene. And the Alphabet Mafia wonders why society is turning against them? Really???

I’m a lesbian and this disgusts me. I can’t imagine how the straights feel.

It’s just too much.

[Ani O'Brien @aniobrien]

As a lesbian, I am so tired of this nonsense. I am tired of corporate Pride and activist Pride.

This week HelloFresh decided that the best way to celebrate Pride Month was to post jokes about preparing for anal sex and offering high-fibre recipes to help people "prep". They then doubled down with a discount code called BOTTOMSUP.

Inclusion! WOO! 🙄

The thing that frustrates me is that people like me have spent years defending gay rights against accusations that we are hypersexual, inappropriate, and incapable of ordinary family life.

That was one of the central prejudices gay people faced. For decades, opponents portrayed gay men in particular as sexually obsessed and depraved. They argued that homosexuality was all about sex rather than love, commitment, relationships and family. The fight for equal rights was partly a fight against exactly that caricature.

And now here we are. A major multinational company has decided the best way to celebrate Pride is to publicly discuss anal sex. What an achievement.

The same-sex marriage movement wasn't about sex. It was about love, commitment, and the ability to build a life with the person you love. It was about family and equality before the law.

Most gay people are not what the weirdos in the HelloFresh marketing department think we are. We go to work, pay bills, walk the dog, argue about whose turn it is to empty the dishwasher, and try to build a decent life together.

You know... Normal things.

The overwhelming majority of gay people just want to be accepted and left alone. We want the same freedoms, responsibilities and opportunities as everyone else. We don't need multinational corporations making dirty jokes about us to feel "included".

What makes this even more ridiculous is that HelloFresh's core market is clearly not radical "queer" activists with blue hair and septum rings.

Their customers are overwhelmingly middle-class couples and families. Busy parents. Professionals. People with disposable income who want convenient meals after work.

How hard would it have been to make a genuinely wholesome Pride advertisement?

Two mums cooking dinner with their kids or two husbands hosting friends. A same-sex couple just making dinner together or flipping a coin to see who has to cook. A simple message acknowledging families and love. Instead they went with rectum jokes.

Somewhere along the way after the TQ+ hijacked our movement, Pride stopped being about acceptance and started being about performance. A small but influential group of activists have convinced themselves that being as shocking, vulgar and sexually explicit as possible is somehow brave and intrinsically "queer". They think boundaries of any kind are oppression including standards and decorum. They think manners are censorship.

The result is campaigns like this one and somehow people are shocked when there is backlash against us all.

I actually feel really sorry for gay men in particular because one of the oldest stigmas they have faced is the idea that they are dirty, promiscuous and defined entirely by sex. This campaign reinforces that stereotype.

If you wanted to design an advertisement that would make ordinary people roll their eyes and think Pride is ridiculous, or shield their children's eyes in horror, you would struggle to do better than this.

The irony is that HelloFresh's marketing department thinks this is progressive. It's regressive and distasteful. It takes decades of work by ordinary gay people who want to be seen as neighbours, colleagues, parents, partners and family members and reduces all of it to a crude sexual punchline.

The people who fought for our rights wanted dignity, but the people most enthusiastic about Pride today seem determined to turn it into a fetish convention with corporate sponsors.

Peter Selby had 125,000 child abuse images on his devices.

2,413 category A. Children as young as three. Extreme pornography including bestiality.

He avoided jail. The judge said prison would be difficult because he identifies as transgender.

Nine months later he breached his court order. Downloaded VPN software to hide his internet activity. Avoided jail again. Judge said he'd be at risk in a male prison.

Peter Selby. 71. South Shields. Ladysmith Street.

Currently living less than a mile from a primary school and a nursery. Near a public park where children play.

Two court appearances. Two suspended sentences. 125,000 images.

Still in your community.

[Liza Rosen @LizaRosen0000]

This is Germany, not the UK.

A Muslim openly incited calls for the murder of infidels as part of a global intifada during a pro-Hamas protest — and was arrested immediately by the German police.

This is the correct response.

This is exactly why Pride Fest is not for kids or sane gay adults anymore. A grown man wearing a diaper with little kid cartoon characters was spotted at Milwaukee’s Pride Fest where all ages are welcome.@mkepride

The party "fighting fascism" is now backing a guy with a Nazi tattoo.

The party of Believe All Women is backing a guy who left bruises on his ex girlfriend.

Graham Platner says he has PTSD.

That's an insult to vets.

He's a scumbag passing off bad behavior as trauma.

@mitchellvii Hell yeah. I wouldn’t personally do it, but the kid doing that to me while my seat wasn’t reclined at all got a nasty look for me. An eight hour flight is hard enough than to put up with a brat whose parents never taught consideration of others.

In the fifteen years since Kimberly Proctor was abducted, raped, burned, and murdered, her aunt has lost count of the number of times the killers have subjected the family to parole hearings.

Proud to be supporting @JeffKibbleCML’s bill to stand up for victims and families.
