Everything is grooming except for when Christians sexually assault children in their family or church 🤷🏻‍♀️

i have never understood this argument. all manner of things which require complex skills and processes—making tools, music and the arts, sciences, political/social life—have all existed without the state. complexity comes with being human, not with government

Since some people are doubting this, I confirmed with the Berlin police: They only allow English and German to be spoken at the protest camp in front of the Bundestag (and Arabic in the evenings). Speeches, songs, etc. in other languages, including Irish, are not permitted.

I feel like THIS is getting lost. They were suspended so that they could be charged with trespassing, which leaves them UNHOUSED, far from home. Their belongings were DUMPED. Like, I fucking cannot with the “book ban” misdirection. BODIES are being banned. From their rights.

“The fact that these images were AI generated is not disclosed in the movie, and the end credits do not mention that any AI tools were used during its making. Netflix did not respond to my request for comment.” 404media.co/netflix-doc-wh…

Between this HarperCollins announcing AI audiobooks, A24 starting AI marketing, it's clear the companies holding art hostage are trying to pull a slow lobster boil on us with AI. I hope we continue to shame them mercilessly for betraying their human artists & audience.

it’s 2am. I was forced to stand outside the Barnard gates for an entire hour waiting for someone to let me in, while Barnard Public Safety told me they are “going above and beyond” by even considering allowing me into my own room for 15 minutes. I haphazardly packed & have left.

You can read the statement from Asna Tabassum in full here:

USC announced that valedictorian Asna Tabassum’s commencement speech has been canceled, stating it was “necessary to maintain the safety of our campus and students”

‘I am surprised that my own university has abandoned me,’ Tabassum said in a statement

We’re all watching the settler terrorists rampage in the West Bank under direct protection of the IOF & if you’ve tried to hold on to the absurd belief that this was about Hamas or 10/7 & not the racial psychopathy of the Israeli state under the spell of it’s own impunity wake up

“Our Blackness and our womanness are not in themselves trustworthy if we allow ourselves to be conscripted into positions of power that maintain the oppressive status quo.”

Bobby Hutton was just 16 years old when he joined the BPP after being inspired by the Party’s Ten-Point Program. At 17 years old the police shot Bobby Hutton twelve times after he had already surrendered and stripped down to his underwear to prove he was not armed. 1/4

This is what bothers me most. Do you know how fucking dystopian it is that only Palestinians who run a successful fundraiser will survive at this point?

Scouring signatory lists to punish and silence scholars is a scare tactic. Make your voice known and heard and continue to be on the right side of history. Solidarity with Prof Fraser.

'A lot of what is happening in Palestine is also because these ivy [league] schools curated a society that claims to graduate entire cohorts that do “good” (rather become successful) and it’s almost always at the expense of others, even populations across the ocean.'

i think about this every day. it is the most reliable, most navigable, clearest, and truest statement israel has made since the start of the war. ignore everything else, this is the reference point

good fucking lord this has been so obviously a campaign of total annihilation and destruction since day 1 but it’s still horrifying to see how far and long israel has been allowed to act with complete impunity
