  1. 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.

  4. 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.

  8. 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.”"

  13. "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."

  17. 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 […]

  21. This just about sums up the DOGE depositions with the two little tech-bro neo-nazis (Justin Fox and Nate Cavanaugh).


    Attorney: why is a documentary about Holocaust survivors DEI?

    Fox: it’s a gender-based story that’s inherently discriminatory to focus on this specific group.

    The Holocaust. Gender based. Discriminatory.

    This is why it’s okay to punch a nazi.

  22. Radical Compassion Doesn’t Mean Forgiving the Irredeemable

    Radical empathy and radical compassion are central to my philosophy, anarcho-compassionism. They call for seeing others fully, understanding their struggles, their fears, their backgrounds, and even the ways they hurt others. They ask us to listen deeply, to hold space for humanity in all its forms, and to recognize that everyone, even oppressors, is shaped by complex forces. But radical compassion is not moral relativism. It is not an excuse to align ourselves with those who do harm or to […]
