JK Rowling has used her billionaire legal team to silence a Jewish woman for telling the truth about her contempt for trans victims of the Holocaust.

Scotland’s network of “freedom of speech” organisations, as per usual, have nothing to say about the use of wealth to gag critics of the wealthy.

However fast they race to condemn the LGBT+ community for saying the names of those who harm us. Statements at the ready to insist that transphobes no one wants to work with anymore must be given every possible opportunity to gain from their bigotry.

But it's not the billionaires who are being silenced, as our media breathlessly echo their every hateful proclamation.

It's journalists and activists forced to publicly humiliate themselves under the weight and the threat of billionaire legal teams or be driven into destitution.

We deserve better. Freedom of speech needs to mean something

There is so much you can learn from those so unlike you.

Don't stifle yourself.

the whole “i used to be a teen who hated authority only to grow up to become the authority that hates teens” is a bad bad thing that practically every other generation has fallen into and we all need to make an extremely conscious effort not to repeat the fucking pattern

biden could have called for a ceasefire months ago. let it be known now and forever : america is no hero. we all watched the us veto every single appeal to stop the barbaric slaughter of innocent lives. but it only took three foreign nationals, three white people, and not the 30,000+ Palestinian lives gone...

edit : 6 white adults. not the 15000+ Palestinian children.

First amendment rights up until we complain about the atrocities the government is doing, I guess.

Crazy how the entire Middle East is now in ruins because the US government didn’t want to stop a genocide.

“why do i believe this” and “who benefits from me believing it” are the first steps to decolonization and we should all be doing this more

It's insane how casually the calls to end a genocide, not just the students in Columbia University but pro Palestinian views in general, are labelled as terrorists. The audacity to still publicly support Israel's actions even after the horrific bombings these last months and then turn around to say that the ones who oppose it are violent anti semites is just baffling

I feel ya on the time thing.

But no. Regardless of age, that type of thing should not be used on a civilian. You can see the agony on her face.

What sacks of shit. Poor Greta.

I also learned this in public school.

Luckily my teacher treated his kids like new coming adults instead of foolish teens.

He also showed us how the working conditions were, didn't spare much detail, he was a cool dude.

Without unions I'm sure we'd be working for corp bucks again and only able to spend that money back into work on related businesses to get food and housing.

Unions are the reason we get to complain freely. Unions are the reasons we get to seen as people working a job instead of a fleshy cog in the machine.

Unions are what we need to protect.

It is taught in public schools.

#union labor #labor unions #organized labor #unions are great #unionize

What's funny (funny interesting not humorous) about this is usually cops are so quick to pull "I feared for my life" BS like the social/mental health people don't. But they're so quick to also say the same shit as that bootlickers "cute" little screenshot.

There are extreme cases like above. But they are not as common as the media and bastards like that like to believe. In fact, they're quite rare-ish.

I've worked through people's meltdowns. I'm not properly trained for it either. In my experience, in taking people down from there highly elevated states, they're quicker to self-harm before going out to hurt someone else. A more common extreme case of a huge meltdown like that is more than likely to end in suicide than anything else.

You wanna know the most common emotion I've seen in any situation where someone "crazy" is acting like above or having an mental health crisis I've seen?

Despair.

No one likes being in that kind of emotional high. No one likes being that irregular. Whether it's a mental health breakdown or even a fucked up drug trip. Your body is in panic mode and sometimes your brain is either exploding with ideas on what to do and none of what you're thinking of seems productive or helpful or everything feels like it just shut down.

In either situation, a pig pointing a gun and shouting demands like an asshole will not be well received. Surprise, surprise.

Also, considering the lack of help and empathy you get from cops when it comes to mental illness anyway given their shitty track record, they shouldn't speak unless they want to answer for their past grave bungles. Like the Batman theatre fiasco where the schizophrenic shooter already self-reported to the police days prior trying not to hurt people and no one did a damn thing.

Always Acab.

Hey everyone, please consider buying the 2024 itch.io Palestinian Relief Bundle- it's 373 games, game-making assets, tabletop roleplaying games, zines, and comics for a minimum of just 8 USD! They have a goal of 100,000 USD, and as of the time I'm writing this post, they have 8 more days to reach it.
