The constant failure of humanity,

Us has provided more than $22 billions for Israel's military operations since israel began the war. Estimate based on Brown University research calculates that US has paid for 70% of the Gaza War. War crimes carried out daily & in plain view. More than 12,000 of these children were under 12 years.

Isn't it crazy that Israel have the technology to kill Khamenei on any random weekend, yet when it comes to 'taking out Hamas leaders they were "forced to bomb children?

-> They just don't know yet. So let's tell them. Share this. Let’s make an example of ChatGPT, and show Silicon Valley what people power can do. Join the grassroots movement now:

One of the most effective things you can do right now to fight Trump & ICE is to cancel your ChatGPT subscription. Yes, the other companies have their issues too. But OpenAl is in a league of its own, both in how badly they behave & how exposed they are.
ChatGPT's users are relatively young & most of them are unaware of any of this. Most would never knowingly fund Trump's biggest tech donor, or a company that helps ICE, or a product that tells children how to end their lives. ->

Shout out to Melania Trump's home country, Slovenia, for putting Donald Trump on the cover of 'Objektiv' magazine. Not only did they give him a 'H*tler' style moustache, but they also made it out of oil.

Bad business & bad ethics demands boycott. No CEO in the world is worth that kind of salary. All companies rest on the shoulders of their employees - always.

@sim @djsumdog @sun -> It makes all those women invisible despite that they themselves describes their faith & identity in other ways. What do we really & truly know about them & their lives.
Safety regulations in certain environments should be discussed - objectively. But that’s completely different from using clothing as political markers to blame entire groups. It lacks dignity., in my opinion.

@sim @djsumdog @sun -> A lot of the fear & opinions around this is really about preference, unfamiliarity & prejudice rather than actual evidence.

@sim @djsumdog @sun safety concerns shouldn’t be used to justify targeting a whole group or turn their clothing into a political stunt. Millions of Muslim women choose these garments freely & assuming they’re all controlled or abused erases their voices & intelligence.

Abuse should always be condemned but it doesn’t solve the problem by blaming the clothing or the women wearing them. ->

@sim @djsumdog @sun -> women who choose to wear the garment must be heard, otherwise we are doing the same thing that ancient patriarchal systems have done & still do: speaking over & for them.
Criticising oppression is necessary. But assuming that all women who wear these garments, regardless of country, situation or personal reasons, are oppressed or dehumanized is to simplify a very complex reality. ->

@sim @djsumdog @sun my short answer would be, criticism of oppression is right. Generalizations about millions of people are not.

Sure that coercion, violence & patriarchal laws in some countries (too many) are deeply problematic & must & should be criticized. I insist again that it’s important to distinguish between authoritarian societies & choice in democratic countries. ->

@sun @djsumdog your argument assumes that all Muslim women lack agency. It’s simply not true. Calling their choices “internalized oppression” erases the voices of women who say they choose their clothes for faith, identity, or personal comfort.
Criticizing patriarchy is very valid, but definitely not to use it to righteously target or humiliate a minority group in parliament. It’s possible to oppose oppression without supporting tricks that stigmatize real people.

The senate has been suspended after P Hanson wore a burga in the chamber, repeating a stunt she pulled back in 2017. The One Nation leader walked into the chamber during a division wearing the head covering. Hanson has been trying to introduce a bill to have burgas & face coverings banned in AU.
”Whatever our own beliefs may be, the sort of disrespect you are engaging in now, is not worthy of a member of the Australian senate & it should not be allowed to stand.

In the Netherlands, cycling meets art & sustainability in a remarkable way. A glow-in-the-dark bike path inspired by Vincent van Gogh's painting Starry Night lights up the town of Nuenen, where the artist once lived. The bike path uses thousands of photoluminescent stones that absorb sunlight during the day & emit a gentle glow at night, creating a swirling pattern reminiscent of Van Gogh's iconic masterpiece.

Pope Leo has issued a warning on the
dangers of extreme inequality:
"CEOs that 60 years ago might have been making 4-6 times more than what the workers are receiving, the last figure is 600 times more than what average workers are receiving."
A wealth tax on the super-rich is the only way forward.
