1. I don’t expect much from the Saudi government when it comes to human rights.
But there is a horrific violation of human rights that I want to bring attention to.
This is Salma al-Shehab and she's just been sentenced to 34 years in prison for tweeting and retweeting.

White people—especially white women—need to start practicing NOT talking to police.
They are not being friendly when they pull you over. They are trying to glean information and find foundation upon which to arrest you.
“Am I being detained or am I free to go?”
Practice it.

Today is the anniversary of the Stonewall riots, the reason Pride is in June.
In 1969, it was illegal to wear clothes that were considered inappropriate for one's sex and when the police raided the Stonewall Inn's gay bar, they started to do a genital check (as was procedure).

Cis people: I need you to understand (and help others understand) that “the trans debate” is NOT relevant “to only a small number of people” but to everyone. Thread below for why:

and people wonder why women/men don’t come forward, because justice is never served
this is literally insane to me, we keep suffering at what price?
The Justice Department is closing its review of two former FBI agents who botched the investigation into Larry Nassar, the doctor who sexually assaulted dozens of girls and women, including some of the nation's most prominent gymnasts. n.pr/3NIcNU9

"Mental illness" isn't to blame for our mass shooting crisis.
Why do I know this? Because America doesn't have any more mental illness than other countries.
What differentiates us is an ease to access to the killing machines that make mass shootings possible.

In light of the draft of a leaked majority Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v Wade, I want to call your attention to the people that would be impacted most by the end of legalized abortion across the United States. 🧵:

"Ukraine has inspired the world to take to the streets to protest Putin. You're seeing this not only in places you would expect, like Berlin or Prague, but in authoritarian states that were once part of the USSR, like Kazakhstan, Belarus, and Azerbaijan." patreon.com/posts/freedom-sq…

I still can’t get past the fact that Putin bombed a Holocaust memorial while hunting down the Jewish leader of Ukraine, and he’s calling his actions “denazification”. There needs to be a word to describe this and nothing in our current lexicon really quite captures it.

Everyone in America that loves freedom should unite tonight in support of a free democracy that has been invaded by a thug that thinks democracy is a problem. Everyone.
