Revolutionaries in Africa understood that the question of African liberation was not just a question of race, that even if they managed to get rid of the white colonialists, if they didn’t rid themselves of the capitalistic economic structure, the white colonialists would simply be replaced by Black neocolonialists. There was not a single liberation movement in Africa that was not fighting for socialism. In fact, there was not a single liberation movement in the whole world that was fighting for capitalism. The whole thing boiled down to a simple equation: anything that has any kind of value is made, mined, grown, produced, and processed by working people. So why shouldn’t working people collectively own that wealth? Why shouldn’t working people own and control their own resources? Capitalism meant that rich businessmen owned the wealth, while socialism meant that the people who made the wealth owned it.

In some US states, lawmakers have pushed forward legislation to chip away at labor protections for children. It's cloaked in language such as "freedom of choice" and "teaching children the value of hard work". But they are backed by industries that have historically exploited children and treated safety regulations as suggestions. Why are they doing this? These jobs are historically hard to fill because they are physically demanding and often have shit working conditions. They also have been done by migrant workers because they pay well and no one else wants to do them. But after the crackdowns by the Trump and Biden administrations on immigration, those jobs are going unfilled. Instead of lobbying for immigration inform, these industries instead are turning towards relaxing labor regulations toward children. Children aren't able to advocate for themselves. So if they are underpaid or forced to work in dangerous conditions, they are less likely to speak up. This is also a reason we're seeing a rise in pronatalism. Because corporations want more children to exploit. Us silly women need to stop whining and create more cogs for the machine.

Bluesky asks Texas users to verify their ages, citing new app store law

"Why do you need age verification on a site where everyone is 38?"

"directed users to a post from blueskys trust and safety team"

ahh yes. the trust and safety team that unbanned a known serial harasser transphobe who doxxed minors. and which is led by a man who banned a woman for being mad her husband was taken by ICE. and who banned a user and her bot because publicly available data revealed he liked "barely legal" ai bot porn posts.

[maramagnus]

The head of Trust and Safety perma-banned me for answering the question of why trans women are mad at him. I didn't say whether it was true, I stated the facts. They banned me for "harassment " for a single post that wasn't directed at the person I was supposedly harassing.

We're at the "JK Rowling is personally funding litigation to try and destroy AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL" stage of rabid UK terf brain.

Screenshot via Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net on bluesky

Tldr Amnesty International, global human rights organisation, published a report called 'A growing threat: the anti-rights movement in the UK'. In it is detailed, amongst others, a whole bunch of transphobic groups and organisations, including Beira's Place, JK Rowling's trans exclusionary sexual violence support service. JK Rowling threw a shit fit and got Amnesty to take the report down by threatening libel. This was obviously not enough, because you can't appease a fascist, so now she's going to bankroll a bunch of lawsuits anyway through the JK Rowling Women's Fund.*

You can read an archived version of the report here, please save it and share it.

*Not so friendly reminder there is no way to engage in the wizard books without enabling this shit.
