🧵 This is a perfect example of what I've be describing as disordered discourse, and it's threat to democracy. Politicians are afraid to speak openly about key issues.

Why? Because disordered discourse has captured the system itself—forcing obedience, punishing dissent, and making truth irrelevant.

The significance of #InternationalWomensDay 2025 cannot be overstated. It is no longer a case of addressing unfinished business on the gender justice front, but bracing ourselves to resist regression and a mounting assault on our rights.

Happy international women’s day!

So many of the freedom’s we take for granted were hard won by women.
Women fought for the right to vote, the right to work, the right own a bank account.

Throughout history, women have stood up and created something better.

We're at 96,000.

Can you help get this petition to 100,000 today?

People say to us "will it do anything?", but every time the petition grows, we're getting more media interview requests and the idea of cancelling the visit is getting ever more prominent in the public debate.

Hi there friends. Trying out social meja again because in our current climate (both literally and metaphorically) silence is complicity and truth is a revolutionary act. Too much to do, too much to say.. Also I like memes and (mostly) other people.
