@DannyBromage @TimesRadio @SimonCalder No soldier is fighting for this country. They're enforcing imperialism on the global south to maintain the flow of resources to the capitalists.

@TimesRadio @SimonCalder The best 3 day a week job out there! At a cost of a winter fuel allowance! Meanwhile a soldier gets 21 k whilst fighting for their country 🤷🏼♂️ Makes sense eh

“It’s the poor old taxpayers who are going to be thinking, okay so how is that going to be funded? Oh it’s coming out of my pocket.”
The average salary for a train driver will go up “from £60,000 to £69,000” after Aslef reached a deal with the government, says @SimonCalder.

@bshootz42 @cl0udxbt @terisasiagatonu People who work with troubled teens in group home settings , deal with the same issue without guns or tasers. What special condition do cops have that prevent them from doing the same ?

Easter Leafa turned 16 last month. She moved to Anchorage from American Samoa 5 months ago. She was about to start school but Anchorage PD killed her instead of de-escalating. These are not “just a few bad apples”. This is a rotten system that should burn down in Easter’s name.

Yesterday the Anchorage police department shot & killed a 16yo Samoan girl She was about to start her Junior year in high school in a few weeks

I teach computer science and challenge him to find any politics in my class. When political opinions start meddling with scholarship, it ceases being science and becomes activism.

There is no such thing as “neutral knowledge” and so there is no such thing as “a-political teaching”. It doesn’t really matter what you’re teaching or which approach to knowledge you are taking. It is all always political
English
@mmbronstein @arturovllacanas @timnitGebru Nobody who speaks to people this way is 'a political'. You have the emotional intelligence of a rock and as such will have been ripe for whatever conditioning the dominant class deemed to subject you to.
English
@SmallC38450 @WakeRevolt No, you have a third choice to vote for a minority and a fourth choice to not be involved at all. You can then work in your community to support your community and build outside the system. This binary thinking just locks people into a system designed to exploit or kill all of us

My Twitter timeline is full of “Blacks vs Palestinians” and I have something to say: 1. I am Black. 2. Kamala is also Black. 3. Her racial identity won’t save any of us. 4. I still haven’t recovered from the 2008 “hope and change” betrayal/realization he was Drone and Deport

@wagonburnerart Paint for as long as you can sober, then take the acid and see what sleep deprivation x acid produces. Best of luck.

@LuxmooreS @aimeebothwell @AMCKunneke @mitchjackson The problem you have with that Sally is what is the legal definition of man/woman? Court isn't twitter, you can't just go 'it's a y, case closed'.
English
@aimeebothwell @AMCKunneke @mitchjackson No. The truth matters. If what they were saying is true then there is no case against them.

@Fundmasstransit @ingietweets @SxarletRed Their point is, as a member of the black/indigenous communities of turtle island (USA) they've been undergoing genocide for the past 300+ years.
English
@ingietweets @SxarletRed I shouldn't make the comparison, but their Twitter feed is an absolute disaster area of terrible, bad-faith takes meant to inflame people as much as possible. I also have no tolerance whatsoever for anyone crapping on people undergoing a genocide as we speak.
English
@StanleyClishem @Moist_Flange @narindertweets The only difference between us and the Nazis is they tried to do to white Europeans what we'd all been doing, and continue to do, to the global south for centuries. So no big Stan, we ain't the good guys, by any definition.
English
@Moist_Flange @narindertweets So you see no difference between British soldiers and Nazis? Lucky for you you weren't around in the 40s, you wouldn't have made it past dawn.
English
@LomaahhMore @JohnReed51 @KellyScaletta @trouble_man90 Fvck off you child killing genocide supporting freak. Our opinions are fvck all to do with what bigots say and everything to do with seeing body parts of children on our timeliness everyday for the past 9 months. Fvck you and your rapist country.
English
@JohnReed51 @KellyScaletta @trouble_man90 Jews know what genocide is. Do you know how stupid you sound falsely accusing us? How arrogant and superior and unable to think? You think you're better than Israel because a bunch of bigots told you so. Have you studied how anti-semitism affects views on Israel? No, then stop.
English
@Aliveandwell80 @mishtal This is standard Imperial procedure. Same reason the US/UK used for killing tens of thousands of kids in Iraq/Afghanistan. They have all always been monsters, just now we can see it in real time thanks modern tech.
English
This list does not come from 'Zionists' but those in Gaza mourning those killed
So it wasn't a massacre of 100. Looks like an accurate strike on terrorists.
Actual count appears to be about 32 - almost every one a male adult - and includes those Israel named as terrorists
English
@bernese02 @wm5crawford @Chris_Davis66 @KatyMontgomerie You can't just 'other' people like that. That's a slippery slope that leads to horrific places. At the moment that's basically what testosterone levels are used for because it enable us to include everyone and still make it as fair as possible.
English
@bernese02 @wm5crawford @Chris_Davis66 @KatyMontgomerie It is and on what basis though? That's why the Olympics have been struggling with this for 100yrs. Read this and you'll get an idea of what you would actually have to go through to try and ascertain what 'sex' someone is.
bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
English
@ESusenicks @wm5crawford @Chris_Davis66 @KatyMontgomerie I don't know if that's true but anyway I could still tell them they don't qualify for a category!
English
@bernese02 @wm5crawford @Chris_Davis66 @KatyMontgomerie Then we're back to define woman. A person can have a baby and still have a Y chromasone. You want to tell someone who's had kids they are now a man?
English
@ESusenicks @wm5crawford @Chris_Davis66 @KatyMontgomerie No. It's about eligibility for a category. Someone might believe they are Irish but not qualify for a passport. Or think they are disabled but don't qualify for a Para Olympics category. Living as a woman isn't the same as being a woman or being eligible for some stuff.
English
@DnDMLB @Chris_Davis66 @KatyMontgomerie @bernese02 Nikki I wouldn't waste your time. I've been speaking with Chris for most of today. That was until we got to the point that he said someone is an 'adult' based solely on their physical development. At which point it was clear he had multiple unsavoury agendas going on. I muted.
English
@Chris_Davis66 @ESusenicks @KatyMontgomerie @bernese02 Anyway, I assume all the paperwork to now change this person from F to M will be done gratis. Seems kinda awful to make a person placed in this position pay for all the paperwork needed to change sex because they failed a sex test for sports.
English
@RJP762 @mar2vickers No I understand, this is incredibly complicated except to people who want to reduce it binaries to support their view of the world and fvck whoever gets hurt in the process.
English
Yeah, Matthew Pinsent has four of them, arsehole, and he got every one of them beating other men fair and square.

Imane Khelif! 😍😍😍 take that, Matthew Pinsent et al. #ClosingCeremony #Paris2024
English
@bernese02 @wm5crawford @Chris_Davis66 @KatyMontgomerie Yeah the problem you've got in this case you're telling someone who has lived as a woman for 30yrs she's now a man. That's a different kettle of fish, hence the problems.
English
@ESusenicks @wm5crawford @Chris_Davis66 @KatyMontgomerie Look at the Para Olympics. They have come up with categories with clear eligibility requirements. They don't include everyone who considers they have a disability but people generally accept that there has to be a cut off point and that it will disappoint/omit some people.
English
@Chris_Davis66 @bernese02 @wm5crawford @KatyMontgomerie Maybe just fax what evidence you've got to Jeremy Vine and see how you go. Although I would leave out the bit about you thinking kids are adults, you probably don't want that being broadcast on national TV. You did say it here though so maybe you're OK with that? Best of luck.
English
@Chris_Davis66 @bernese02 @wm5crawford @KatyMontgomerie Bloody hell Chris, this is shocking news. Have you told anyone else about this? Written to the papers? Rung LBC? Although I don't think you need to worry too much as if they've been trying for 100yrs they're obviously not very good at it.
English
@Chris_Davis66 @bernese02 @wm5crawford @KatyMontgomerie Well then, I suggest you tell your pal Emma to contact the IOC. As just this week they said if anyone had an answer to this, please send it to them so they can implement it, and I'm pretty sure the IOC will not have known any biologists over the past 100yrs to ask themselves.
English
@ESusenicks @bernese02 @wm5crawford @KatyMontgomerie No one has been able to work out sex. Except real biologists of course.

OK, science geeks. Sex testing and sport. There are many people spreading misinformation about the reliability of sex testing, repeating arguments made for its abolition some 25 years ago. I don’t know if they have noticed that we’ve undergone something of a genetics revolution over the past few decades 😀
