A short thread on why some Christians love Jews so much they want them to move elsewhere.
To be clear, this is actually a really good example of Christian Zionism which *pre-dated* political Zionism.

Conservative Christians spent the past few decades trying to make the Boy Scouts into a strictly male strictly queerphobic space and you know what they reaped from all that showing of patriarchy? A $2.46 billion sexual abuse settlement.

Friendly, compliant governments, like Eswatini, have received early shipments, whereas South Africa or Nigeria — countries that have fallen out of favor with Trump — seem to have received the short end of the stick."

Emmanuel walked away from his mom’s fruit stand to find a bathroom. She looked for him all over Houston, and after several hours, she filed a missing person’s report with Houston PD. Houston firefighters found him within 24 hours. But police turned him over to ICE, who held him captive for 48 days.
Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.

She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.

“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.

The Times identified 120+ instances in which guards were described as having punched, kicked or stomped on inmates, smashed their fingers in cell doors, held their legs apart and struck their genitals with batons, and even waterboarded them — all while they were handcuffed or otherwise restrained.

And what does this say about all the social media research based on Twitter/X, which has helped fuel the moral panic about the role of social media in contemporary politics?
The location ID on twitter revealing that 99% of the horrible shit on that website is just posted by people in India honestly soothed me a lot. Its literally all just fake.

Shit like this is institutionalised child abuse. Furthermore, it is a textbook example of breaching the ‘best interest’ requirement of art. 3 of the Children’s Rights Convention. To paraphrase the Lemkin Institute: increasing trans kids’ risk of suicide is hardly in their best interest
No matter what the politicians say, this is discrimination. Look at how the regulation is worded: This is not a ban on its use for a particular indication, it's a ban for a population.

Even tot hier en niet verder, zei de wijkagent "na een melding van een demonstratie". Alles is opgeruimd, "daar heeft de marechaussee op toegezien".

Waarom tolereren politie en marechaussee omgekeerde vlaggen en onvergunde bbborden langs 's lands wegen, maar dít niet? 🤔

As the occupation's mechanisms of control seep into Israel’s civilian sphere, Jewish dissidents are next in line — and academic freedom offers no protection.

I think there’s an argument to be had that intentionally misgendering a person can be a form of sexual harassment.

If a teacher is doing it to a child it can move beyond free speech and into the territory of unethical emotional and psychological abuse.

The irony of these people complaining about the invented dangers of immigrants and then welcoming brain pollution from overseas hustlers.
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.
