This is actually bigger than trans issues.

In the past, other groups under the LGBTQIA umbrella were pathologised as well.

I don’t really expect a personal reply. It’s possible the suspension was an automated reaction to a post or a complaint. Hopefully a multitude of voices asking questions on Marie’s behalf will prompt the support team to look into what happened (and fix it).

Reminder that the US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined.

Over half goes to private defense contractors.

This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of β€” on steroids.

For a president who ran for office promising to keep the United States out of wars, Trump has already launched attacks during his second term in:

Ecuador
Iran
Iraq
Nigeria
Somalia
Syria
Venezuela
Yemen
and on civilians in boats in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean.

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.

No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.

Lana says Israeli citizenship law made indigenous Jews immigrants in law. Zionism is rooted in imperialism and racism which expelled Palestinians and established a project of apartheid. Look at what is done, not what is said: Zionism is a racist settler colonial project. Israel is now becoming...

Palestine is based on Zionism which emerged in the late 19th century and built on the forms of racism that allowed other colonialism to exist. It was also an attempt to respond to European anti-semetism. But also drew on colonialism and racism itself. Zionism didn't insist Europe is the home ...

.. of European Jews. Claim of Zionism as indigenous project of return. Jews do have a rich long history in Palestine. There existed a Jewish community in Palestine. Zionism erased Jewish indigeneity in Palestine by failing to distinguish indigenous Jews and recent immigrants.

Settled colonialism is inherently genocidal.

Albanese speaks to the constant silencing of people speaking the truth about Palestinian.

She says this means we are getting a small taste of oppression similar to that indigenous peoples, aboriginal and Palestinian, have experienced for generations.

Francesca Albanese talking about the meeting being on the lands of the #Kaurna.

She talks of the interconnectedness of various struggles.

Also how unis falsely claim debate on Palestine is antisemetic.

Timmy is not only incompetent, delusional about his own abilities in his shadow portfolio, an embarrassment to singing but also dangerous. This behaviour will continue. He thrives in it and craves constant attention. We know Lib selected him, spent way too much $ on the seat at the expense of others
