CW: CW: transphobia, psychiatric abuse, forced institutionalisation
There is a political project underway to make transgender existence pathological again.
That distinction matters.
This is not merely about terminology. It is about institutional power: who gets to define a person's identity, whose account of their own existence is considered credible, and what happens when an individual refuses the definition imposed upon them.
The historical pattern is not particularly obscure.
First, difference is classified as disorder.
Then disorder becomes evidence of incapacity.
Incapacity becomes justification for paternalism.
Paternalism becomes coercion.At that point, the institution no longer has to demonstrate that the person is dangerous. It merely has to establish that the person is not sufficiently competent to define themselves.
This is how medical authority can become a technology of social conformity.
And no, putting this process inside a psychiatric framework does not make it benevolent. Calling coercion treatment does not alter its coercive character. Calling confinement care does not make the locked door disappear.
There is a particularly grotesque irony here: people who insist that transgender identities are merely ideological constructions are perfectly willing to construct an elaborate ideological apparatus around the proposition that trans people are mentally defective.
The objective is not scientific neutrality.
It is disciplinary legitimacy.So let us dispense with the euphemisms.
If your political programme requires declaring an entire class of people mentally ill because they refuse to live according to your preferred conception of gender, you are not practising medicine. You are practising social control.
And if your proposed remedy is to remove those people from society until they become sufficiently compliant, then the problem is not their supposed pathology.
It is your willingness to manufacture pathology in order to justify their removal.
History has a name for that kind of medicine.
It is not care.
It is not neutrality.
And it is certainly not progress.We have already seen what happens when institutions are given the authority to decide which identities constitute legitimate human existence. We do not owe anyone the opportunity to repeat the experiment on us.

CW: CW: Fascism, anti-queer rhetoric, political hostility, profanity.
Ah yes. The great fascist emergency:
RAINBOWS.
Apparently a bit of colour on a wall is now a sinister ideological occupation force.
Paint over it with a German flag, though, and suddenly it’s “just as it should be.” 🤡
And then comes my favourite little sentence:
“Tolerance and diversity are being forced on me.”
Oh sweetheart.
If your freedom requires everyone else to disappear, you don't want freedom. You want the freedom to spew your hateful nationalism without any resistance.
You don't want “unpolitical.”
You want your politics to be the wallpaper.You don't want to be left alone.
You want us to be invisible.And no, I don't think you're confused.
I think you know exactly what you're doing.
That's the ugly little secret underneath all that whining about “perversion” and “having things shoved in your face”:
You want us gone.
Well.
How terribly inconvenient.
We're still here.
We're loud.
We're queer.
We're colourful.
And we're not asking your permission.Deutschland verrecke! 🏳️🌈

Court case brought by 'Zionist federation' against respected journalist Mary Kostakidis discontinued..
"Federal court proceedings brought by the 'Zionist Federation of Australia' (ZFA) against journalist Mary Kostakidis have been discontinued “by consent” with “no order as to costs”.
Kostakidis said in a statement she had spent “two years doing nothing but preparing my defence in a case aimed at silencing me” and the discontinuation was a “win for every Australian who values our democratic right to freedom of political expression”.
“I want to thank my fellow Australians who recognised the significance of what we stand to lose, stood with me and stepped up to assist me to launch my defence,” she said.
“The purpose of journalism is to get to the truth – fearlessly – and to hold power to account. This is a win for press freedom, which has prevailed.
“Watching a people livestream their own genocide while the international community responsible for creating this mess offers the victims sympathy and the perpetrators bombs, diplomatic cover and impunity, has been disgusting.”"

"Núcleo Nacional's rally, under the slogan 'Catalanidad es Hispanidad,' attracted about a thousand anti-fascist protesters organized by the Socialist Youth Organization.
Following tense moments, the far-right demonstrators fled the scene, leaving the square to the independence supporters.
Subsequently, several independence groups moved towards the Arc de Triomf, where some began setting fire to containers. During the march, chairs, tables, stones, bottles, and fireworks were thrown at riot control vehicles and deployed officers."

Power grab
Omarchy should not matter. But sadly it does. As a power grab. If you don't know what Omarchy is here's the short summary. David Heinemeier Hansson, creator of RubyOnRails, owner of a software business and millionaire, decided a few months ago to go all in on Linux and - because that's just his MO - thought that turning his setup into a project made sense. Omarchy is just that: A pretty standard Arch Linux distribution with a handful of configuration files, that Heinemeier Hansson (or DHH as […] -

CW: CW: Imperialism, geopolitics
I am getting rather tired of this
The United States is an imperialist power in decline.
Communist China is an imperialist power on the rise.Both are imperialist powers.
We do not solve imperialism by exchanging one empire for another. We do not become anti-imperialists by cheering for whichever power happens to oppose Washington.
The enemy is not the American people.
The enemy is not the Chinese people.The enemy is imperialism itself.
And we fight it best by refusing to choose between imperialist powers, no matter how many flags they wave, how many slogans they print, or how loudly their little online cheerleaders insist that this empire is somehow the good one.
No.
I choose freedom.
I choose solidarity.
I choose liberty.
I choose human rights.No gods. No emperors. No superpowers.

If DT can rename other countries landmarks (Gulf of Mexico, Lake Ontario, etc.etc.) then where do I fill out the paperwork to rename 'Florida' to 'Fart Town'? 🤔
Fun Fact: The word 'Trump' actually does mean 'Fart' in the UK.

CW: CW: Holocaust denial, anti-trans rhetoric
Good morning. 🌸
Waking up to an upset TERF in my inbox and a Holocaust denier in my Facebook comments. Oh dear. 😌
I suppose state prosecution will have some fun with those two. I certainly won’t be losing sleep over it. And FFS, I now need content warnings on my good morning posts...
In other news: final full day in Amsterdam. 💜
Getting some work done, eating very good food, and generally enjoying the last little bit of this lovely queer extended week before reality comes knocking again.For now, coffee first. Trouble later. ☕️✨

NYC: Tell Ben-Gvir he's not welcome here!
Itamar Ben Gvir is attending an event at the United Nations on Tuesday, July 7, and T'ruah will be there to protest. We want to make clear that American Jews reject his racism, bigotry, and extremist violence. Will you join us?
On Tuesday at noon, we'll gather at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza (enter at 2nd Avenue and 47th Street), along with many American and Israeli partners: NYJA, Partners for Progressive Israel, J Street, Smol Emuni U.S., Israelis for Peace NYC, URJ, Arza, New Jewish Narrative, and New Israel Fund.
For years, T’ruah has sounded the alarm: Ben Gvir’s brand of hatred and extremism is beyond the pale. He and his party traffic in racism and homophobia, advocate for the deportation of Palestinian citizens of Israel, and incite violence against Palestinians and Israeli leftists. He is a criminal with 13 convictions, including for hate crimes and promoting terrorism. He openly promotes ethnic cleansing in Gaza and advocates for Israeli resettlement. Ben Gvir is a danger to Palestinians and Israelis.
American Jews should treat Ben Gvir with the contempt he deserves. If you're in NYC, we hope to see you there on Tuesday, July 7, at noon.

Toute l'humanité a le droit de "conspirer", sauf des Juifs ? Alors ceux d'entre vous qui vont me dire que des Juifs ne font jamais ça : Vous êtes des antisémites. Votre anti-conspirationnisme, il n'est pas clair à plusieurs titres. D'abord, parce qu'un prétendu "complot" n'est ni ce que croient les complotistes ni ce que croient les anti-complotistes et un "complot" en réalité, ça n'existe pas ou pas comme vous le croyez et vous feriez mieux de chasser le dahut, ensuite, parce que des Juifs ou des supposés juifs n'ont pas plus d'obligation d'exemplarité que des membres réels ou supposés d'autres peuples, et des Juifs, israéliens ou non, n'ont pas moins de légitimité à "conspirer" sous certaines conditions éthiques, contre n'importe quel gouvernement, et y compris contre le gouvernement israélien ou comme ça à tout hasard, contre le gouvernement français.

❝ CORPORATE DEMOCRATS ❞

we know #corporatism is #fascism.
∴
corporate democrats are NOT centrists. they are the fascists of the #DemocraticParty
if your opponent is a fascist, you cannot be “a little bit fascist“ and call that #centrism.
a true Democratic party would defend #democracy and oppose fascism.
a true Democratic party would be an #antifascism party and make that the anchor of their political platform.
you are for fascism or against it. it’s as simple as that.

Maastricht against fascism: Pride & Solidarity
Mosae Forum, Maastricht, zaterdag 27 juni om 10:45 CEST
Today we march together in Maastricht to celebrate PRIDE, diversity and the right of every person to live freely. But PRIDE is more than a celebration. It reminds us that rights are never a given. They are won through struggle and solidarity action.
The fight for LGBTQI+ rights is inseparable from the fight against racism, fascism and the far right. Division and hatred harms us all.
History teaches us that hatred rarely stops with one group. As Pastor Niemöller powerfully said:
"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak for me."
The lesson is clear. When one group is targeted, we all have a responsibility. Silence helps discrimination grow. Solidarity defeats it.
FVD calls transgender laws "against human nature". Maastricht is not immune to pressures from radical right forces. Our city councillor El Fassih is a target of online hate. That is why building unity in our city is important.
Our answer must be solidarity.
The struggle for LGBTQI and gender rights, migrant justice and racial equality is one shared struggle. None of these movements stand alone. When one advances, all can advance.
Today, let us enjoy our community of freedom. And let us remember that the best defence against hatred is solidarity.
PRIDE and anti-racism belong together.
PRIDE and anti-facism belong together.
Never again means now.[Maastricht tegen fascisme (source)]

Die Basisgewerkschaft FreieArbeiterinnenUnion FAU
hat inzwischen wohl grenzüberschreitende Strahlkraft entwickelt, die sich solidarisch in Paris auf der 1.Mai Gewerkschaftsdemo zeigt, hier auf einer rot-schwarzen Zubringerdemo.Auf dem Weg zur Demo passierten wir im 10.Bezirk einen Friseursalon, Nähe gare de l‘est in Paris. "Sabadou & Jade Institut" steht über dem Eingang, zahlreiche bunte Plakate und Transparente die einen Arbeitskampf, Streik und die Besetzung erklären, versperren den Blick durch die Scheiben. Zwei Personen stehen davor.
Der Laden wird seit dem 3. März ununterbrochen von den Mitarbeitenden bestreikt u diese von der Gewerkschaft CGT unterstüzt. Der Besitzer schuldet dreizehn Beschäftigten die Löhne, unterschlagene Sozialleistungen usw.
Es gibt eine schöne Anzeigetafel zum entgangenen Umsatz, derzeit steht der Zeiger bei 124.000 €.#paris #1mai #1mai2026 #1erMai #gewerkschaft #antiautoritär #basisgewerkschaft #basisdemokratisch #freieArbeiterinnenUnion #feminismus

The Feds Want to Make It Illegal to Even Possess an #Anarchist #Zine
#DanielSanchez is facing federal charges for what #FreeSpeech advocates say is a clear attack on the #FirstAmendment.

Excerpt: "Federal prosecutors have filed a new indictment in response to a July 4 noise demonstration outside the #PrairielandICE #DetentionFacility in #AlvaradoTX, during which a police officer was shot.
"There are numerous problems with the indictment, but perhaps the most glaring is its inclusion of charges against a Dallas #artist who wasn’t even at the protest. Daniel 'Des' Sanchez is accused of transporting a box that contained '#Antifa materials' after the incident, supposedly to conceal evidence against his wife, Maricela Rueda, who was there.
"But the boxed materials aren’t Molotov cocktails, pipe bombs, or whatever #MAGA officials claim 'Antifa' uses to wage its imaginary war on America. As prosecutors laid out in the July criminal complaint that led to the indictment, they were zines and pamphlets. Some contain controversial ideas — one was titled '#InsurrectionaryAnarchy' — but they’re fully constitutionally protected free speech. The case demonstrates the administration’s intensifying efforts to criminalize left-wing #activists after Donald Trump announced in September that he was designating 'Antifa' as a 'major terrorist organization' — a legal designation that doesn’t exist for domestic groups — following the killing of Charlie Kirk.
"Sanchez was first indicted in October on charges of 'corruptly concealing a document or record' as a standalone case, but the new indictment merges his charges with those against the other defendants, likely in hopes of burying the First Amendment problems with the case against him under prosecutors’ claims about the alleged shooting.
"It’s an escalation of a familiar tactic. In 2023, Georgia prosecutors listed #ZineDistribution as part of the #conspiracy charges against 61 #StopCopCity protesters in a sprawling #RICO indictment that didn’t bother to explain how each individual defendant was involved in any actual crime. I wrote back then about my concern that this wasn’t just sloppy overreach, but also a blueprint for censorship. Those fears have now been validated by Sanchez’s prosecution solely for possessing similar literature."
