She literally just googled 4chan didn't she.

It came after 4chan’s lawyer reportedly stated the website would not be paying a proposed fine for failing to comply with UK’s online safety laws.

Inman Grant said, “No, it’s really an image board”, when asked whether 4chan would be included in the ban.

4chan unlikely to be included in Australia’s under-16s social media ban, eSafety commissioner says

Julie Inman Grant says message board will need to comply with other codes which will also include age assurance for sites hosting violent and adult content

It also pisses me off so much for alejandra to urge people not to vote for gavin newsom - who is very likely to be the democrat nominee - without offering any alternative at all.

Is her tactic literally for everyone to lay down and rot? If so, the incel strategy is a weird one imo.

natalie feliks 🐿 @nataliesqrl.bsky.social · 1d

This strategy that wealthy individuals such as alejandra have been utilising for years - just screaming into their large followings without any actual organising - has never worked and only serves to depress and demobilise us.

They are well past their use by date.

The legend @madycast.com who actually lives in california explains it very well

For context, I am Australian so I literally can't support any American politician, but people like alejandra are extremely irresponsible, reckless and dangerous, and need to be corrected.

This is misinformation designed to make people panic and depressed and its extremely irresponsible for these wealthy liberals to be spreading it on social media.

Fuck Gavin Newsom. I will never vote for him and you shouldn't either.

Excerpt from an article discussing LGBT+ protections in California legislation. It states that Governor Newsom neither signed nor vetoed certain bills. One bill strengthened protections under Sen. Scott Wiener’s “State of Refuge” law. The highlighted portion reads: “At least four bills directly addressed trans protections,” followed by examples such as healthcare and patient confidentiality, streamlining legal name and gender changes, nondiscrimination in health insurance, and inclusive homelessness programs.

Actually, the point for my friends whose lives could literally be saved by the California trans rights bills, is for the bills to become laws. That is a concrete, material victory for trans people and I'm tired of people acting like our actual lives are irrelevant to the discussion around the bills.

Numbcat9 @numbcat9.bsky.social · 1d

The point isn't whether the laws become law, it's that he betrayed us.

New article:)

I encourage everyone to read up on operation inglenook.

Trans women getting incarcerated in men's prisons isn't some trumpian anomaly. It's the policy of the australian labor party.

Many horror writers have tried to create the most "disturbing art ever" but all have failed to compete with the truly most disturbing piece of media: the news.

racism in the trans community is extremely real and extremely dangerous.

unfortunately, a lot of white trans people haven't done the work to be anti-racist and don't notice how they mistreat and dehumanize Black and brown trans women.

you gotta put the work in. bring POC into your social circles.

I wonder what history class is like for kids these days.

"Yeah, the Nazis were evil, committed genocide, and had to be defeated in a world war...
oh by the way, Mussolini's daughter is in power in Italy, the Nazis are the second largest party in Germany, and the US...well they're doing it too :)"

I was raised atheist so I didn't know what the rapture was until I was much older and I just thought "that sounds stupid". But it explains why so many Americans believe in crypto.

there’s an astronomical amount of christian money that goes into propagandizing towards Jewish people to either convert us, or get us to move to Israel for this shit.

being openly jewish while living in the South was an… experience, i’ll just leave it at that

Erin Biba @erinbiba.bsky.social · 15d

All the Jews have to die or convert to trigger the rapture. Then our dead bodies surround Jerusalem and they climb over us to reach Jesus, who will bring them to heaven.

It’s why they’re all Zionists obsessed with Israel. Cause they need Jews to go there so we can die.
