#Pakistan🇵🇰 The International Human Rights Foundation (#IHRF) expresses its full support for Pakistani journalist Moeed Pirzada in the face of threats to his life that he is receiving through various channels. We call for a de-escalation of political tensions and a return to the principles of democracy: the separation of powers, respect for #HumanRights, due process, the rule of law and the primacy of civilian and elected power over economic and military power.
Over on #birdsite, the hate group American College of Pediatricians claims they have been subject to a cyberattack when actually they just left 10,000 private files in a completely unsecured Google Drive. Aka they cyberattacked themselves: https://nitter.nl/ACPeds/status/1656630733966909441#m
"What’s Going on With Gender-Affirming Care in Europe?
May 3
Claims that Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the UK have acted to restrict access to gender-affirming care are the latest misleading tactic in the fight against this necessary treatment."
The decision by the European Parliament to ban AI systems of biometric mass surveillance in public spaces is welcome. It should be reflected in the UK.
We must protect civil liberties from the encroachment of the state that’s leading us down the road of predictive policing.
How many times are they going to try and get away with this shit. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO APPLY FOR ASYLUM IN THE FIRST SAFE COUNTRY. That the PM's spokesperson had to correct THE FUCKING IMMIGRATION MINISTER is just mindblowing. The same guy who called migrants cannibals last week. 🤬🤬

The real issue is that over the last 40-50 years, the media & others have conflated #antisemitism and criticism of the State of #Israel while they have turned a blind eye to those who are antisemites and yet supposedly pro-Israel, including Christian Nationalists who bad-mouth Jews, use slurs, and only see Israel in some eschatological vision of Christian Triumphalism.
@cs That is such a delicate balance, as many anti-semitic tropes come from political criticism of policies, and vice versa
#humanrights is the key - all people must treat all individuals with dignity; and the will of the (Israeli) people shall form the basis of (Israeli) government
I 100% align with the message from Emma Bunton and Jamie Lee Curtis. I will fight against suppression of LBGTQ+ rights and will protect trans kids unconditionally.
If any of my follower spots any way however small that I can help support, PLEASE do let me know. (As a cisgender straight male I may not directly feel or be aware of attacks).

““Now that they’re trying to pass all these laws, it’s even more tortuous than when I was a kid,” Schultz said. “Kids know there’s an option. They know what the path forward is. For adults to keep that from them, to me, that’s the worst torture possible.””
“There are hopeful trends, and it’s essential for us – human rights supporters – to recognize them to understand how our work matters. Day to day, the job can be a horror show. Longer-term, we see the progress that sustains us.”
“Thenceforward there exist within the state two factors making for legal instability, but legislative evolution, too: first, the attempts by members of the ruling class to set themselves above the law's restrictions and, secondly, the constant struggle of the ruled to extend their rights and see each gain embodied in the code, replacing legal disabilities by equal laws for all.”
“There's a hole in my soul like a cavity
Seems the world is out to gather just by gravity
The wheel keeps turning the sky's rearranging
Look my son the weather is changing”
A society is almost always oppressed when religion is in charge. Especially when said religion (#Islam) needs to protect a god from humans, thats when you know you are dealing with Myopically programmed murder states and dangerous human beings. Is it no wonder China wanted to eliminate this wOKe mind virus.
@jose_suweeet Hello my fellow human and previously a ‘following’ of mine. I was just perusing the Islam hashtag and saw this post of yours.
Just wanted to call you out for being undignified in your post, here.
God needs protection from no one.
People need protection from other people, like Muslims will need if you continue to spread indignities that could be construed as an incitement to discrimination.
You believe what you believe, I believe what I believe.
