Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.

It's pretty obvious that a lot of US mainstream media either doesn't recognise authoritarianism or doesn't want to call it out. Either way, it's an excellent way to destroy trust in your institution.

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled
BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

The Lord of the Rings films are older than ICE.
The Matrix is older than ICE.
Legally Blonde is older than ICE.
We're not talking about a venerable American institution. We're talking about post-9/11 Patriot Act overreach.
Claw that power back. Destroy ICE.

ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment.
Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.

Well, a lot went down last night. Hats off to my American colleagues for holding it down—it was giving flip-phone-in-the-hallway-during-a-high-school-fight vibes.
For those of us on the other side of the world who logged off, here's everything we missed. Starting with... the fight. Roll the tape.

The Elon Musk and Donald Trump Breakup Has Started
Trumpworld insiders fear that Elon Musk’s attacks on Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” could kill it—and are already advising candidates to turn their backs on the world’s richest man.

The demonisation of trans people isn't normal. People pretend that it is, but it's a culture war that's been manufactured in the past decade. Trans people are here and real and who they say they are. Get with it.

"Stop procrastinating" in cuneiform:
"Why don't you write your tablet and do your homework? If you don't, they will say: "Is *this* the sister of Sheru'a-eṭirat, eldest daughter of the Succession Palace of Ashur-etel-ilani-mukinni, the great king, mighty king, king of the world, king of Assyria?"

Queen Liballi-sharrat, the wife of king Ashurbanipal, and his sister Sherua-etirat were both literate.
In fact, Sherua-etirat once scolded her sister, then the crown princess, for not doing her homework. Literacy, it seemed, was an expectation of these Assyrian queens.

terfs hate asexual people because at the core they feel like being "normal" is aspirational and everything that hints towards life being complex, often contradictory, always hard to quantify experiences rather than just a set of unspoken rules is abject to them, like it is to all conservatives

A lot of "post-left" personalities like Brand claim they were pushed away from the left but were in fact drawn to the right as a means of escaping accountability for their own actions
Russell Brand has spent the past few years aligning himself with the American right as allegations of sexual violence were made public against him. He knew he would find defenders and protection among their ranks. That should tell you everything you need to know about what the party represents

1/ The Trump Administration is seeking to force foreign companies worldwide to ban diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programmes within their firms if they want to do business with the US government. It's an aggressive expansion of its anti-DEI crusade. ⬇️
