Melika Azizi is 18 years old. The regime wants her dead because she isn't afraid of them. ​While the world slept, they raided her home. While they beat her in Lakan Prison, she held her head high. When the judge handed down a death sentence, she didn't beg for her life—she demanded justice for the fallen. ​"How can I stay silent?" she asked. ​We cannot be the ones who stay silent while they try to hang a teenager for her bravery. Silence is a death sentence. Noise is a lifeline. ​ACT NOW: Save this post. Share it. Tag three friends who will help spread her name. We have to make the cost of executing her higher than the cost of letting her go. ​#MelikaAzizi #SaveMelika #StopExecutionsInIran #HumanRights

I just had such an inspiring meeting with a group of inspiring women! We have got to get the story out of the suffering and abuse that women in prison are experiencing because of gender identity that let's men into women's prisons. From Maine to California across the country this is a human rights crisis. Thank you all who are working on this. What women in prison experience is cruel and unusual punishment and a violation of our Constitutional rights and international human rights law. I am grateful to see so many women ready to stand up for our incarcerated sisters. Incarcerated women need help - legal help. Several of the "modern" women's rights groups are trying but we need major $$$ to launch some litigation. @Liberate_women_ @KDansky @KnownHeretic @ichinita310 @WDI_USA @listen2tish @DIAGdemocrats @MiaCathell @BostonGlobe @nytimes @washingtonpost @elonmusk @Oprah @belindagates_ @HillaryClinton @ClintonFdn themainewire.com/2026/03/randal…

From the 2023 book The Reckoning: "Most media outlets simply pretend that “trans” is real and expect readers to play along. Most likely, readers on the political left do. How would they know to question it? The only way that Americans on the political left would know to question “trans” is if they heard about the leftist critique of it. Which is precisely why the media never offers it. Radical feminists have been talking about the leftist critique of “gender identity” for years now, but most people would never know it because no mainstream media outlet will platform us, even though they will platform conservative organizations. I have a theory as to why: the “gender identity” industry thinks that it has a better shot at beating conservatives than it has of beating the TERFs, so it pays the media to ignore us. I think the industry is right—it does have a better shot at beating conservatives than it has of beating the TERFs, which is precisely why it needs to keep us quiet and out of the public conversation." amazon.com/Reckoning-Demo…

@ninapaley Happy Birthday George!

Today is George's first birthday! Celebrating this adorable athletic destructive screen-ripping quilt-shredding farting joy in my life.

My account is very deboosted so I’m thinking about revealing my truest, most unhinged self lol

@heterodorx 😢. But I understand

Proud to supporting AB 1998: Get the Men Out! Men don’t belong in women’s intimate spaces. Livestream link ⬇️

You are so important to the women and girls in sports but also to us awkward non athletes in this fight. The effort to preserve women as a sex class and advocate for sex based rights takes the effort of many and many different approaches. I admire you so much and everyone I see one of your products I get a surge of hope and work harder. Thank you.

There is wide ranging criticism and dislike of me in some corners of the movement to protect women's sports and spaces. That's the most fun, when we can't get our shit together enough to work together and we come apart from the inside. Here's a sampling of what they don't like and feel they need to tell me daily. 1. You're too late. Are we not welcoming new people to this fight? Do we want to lose? I've never said I was first or early even. 2. It's a business. (You obviously don't care about this you just saw an opportunity to make money.) Yes it is a business. I've never said otherwise. And my goal is to help to normalize our collective POV (protecting women's sports, spaces, dignity and rights) by keeping it at the center of the cultural conversation. With over 100M views of our videos/content, I think we help. Keep in mind, the "other side" has 100s if not 1000s of brands popularizing their nutty and dangerous POV that men can be women if they just say so. We deserve one that fights back. Not for nothing, we've also contributed close to $100k to advocacy organizations on the front lines and we're just a start up. Please stop sending me angry DMs asking snippily what percentage of sales go to support the cause hoping it's zero so you can be more pissed at me. What we can afford, that's how much. It will grow as we do. And putting mainstream, broad reach, widely cheered content into the world and supporting brave female athletes who speak up with contracts and community is also supporting the cause. There are many ways to do it. Not just contributing to non-profits. 3. You're a grifter. I'm a business person and a brand builder. I'm not a politician, lawyer, legislator or activist. And I think @xx_xyathletics can be a part of driving change in the culture which we absolutely need to do. If I was a grifter I'd have kept my big mouth shut and stayed in corporate America. Believe me, the pay was better and I worked far fewer hours. 4. You talked to [insert trans identified male]. Yes I did. I talk to people I disagree with all the time. Some people I disagree with on this topic, I even like for other reasons. Members of my own family, for instance. Am I perfect? No. Have I said everything perfectly? No. Am I contributing in a positive way? I think yes. Do I listen and learn every day? Yes. Am I going to apologize to every troll whose standards I don't meet? Absolutely not. That's it. Nothing more to say on the matter. Except I hope you'll check out the brand @xx_xyathletics! We have so much cool new stuff for spring and golf and tennis and running!

Bonnie would love a retweet to help us gain more visibility ❤️

@saniyafatma1278 I would buy that! Nice work.

My 12-year-old daughter doesn’t have many friends and was bullied so badly last year she spent lunches hiding in the bathroom. Lately, she’s been taking my yarn and secretly crocheting in her room. Last night, she proudly showed me a stunning scarf she made herself. “I want my own Tedooo shop someday—for kids like me,” she said. Now she wakes at dawn to practice stitches “for my customers.” She’s turning loneliness into art—please leave her some encouragement.

@TTExulansic @ErinFriday75490 Fabulous pair!

So great to see the legendary @ErinFriday75490 at Detrans Awareness Day 2026! Please follow and subscribe to her email newsletter for tips on how to get involved in concrete ways.

Goats will eat brambles, thistle, gorse, and scrub that no other animal or machine efficiently clears. Then they turn it into milk and meat. They do this on land that is too steep, too rocky, and too marginal for anything else. The goat is a solar-powered, self-replicating, terrain-adaptive food production unit that requires no fertiliser, no pesticide, and no irrigation. We are not being asked to defend the goat. The goat is defending itself.

Nobody writes about the fell at night. The photographers come in the morning when the light is good. The journalists come in August when the weather permits. The documentary crews want the golden hour, the sweep of the fells, the picturesque drystone walls with a flattering sky behind them. Nobody stays for the dark. In January, on the fell where Doris lives, the dark arrives at four in the afternoon and does not leave until eight the following morning. Sixteen hours of dark. Temperature between zero and minus eight depending on the clearness of the sky. Wind from the southwest, persistent. The fell is not visible from below in cloud. The farmer's house lights do not reach the upper section. Doris is up there. Doris is fine up there. Doris has the wool, which is 8cm thick and lanolin-coated and keeps her dry inside it regardless of what the sky is doing. She has the rumen, which generates heat from fermentation as a byproduct of digestion, which is why she doesn't shiver in cold that would be dangerous for most animals her size. She has the knowledge of the fell, acquired in her first winter and stored completely: where the wall blocks the wind, where the ground stays driest, where the frost sits longest and where it doesn't reach at all. At two in the morning, in January, in the dark, with snow coming in off the Irish Sea and the temperature dropping and the fell completely invisible from below, Doris is in the correct spot. Not approximately correct. Precisely correct. The spot behind the east wall that blocks the worst of the southwest wind, where the ground is dry, where she has slept on every comparable night since her first winter. She found it by paying attention. She remembered it by considering it worth remembering. She goes there without hesitation, in the dark, in conditions that would disorient most people with a torch and a map. The farmer knows she's fine because Doris is always fine. He checks in the morning. She's always in the spot, or already grazing from it. No drama. No incident. No record required. The fell is fine. The walls are fine. At eight the next morning, the light comes back. Doris is already on the move. Doris has been on the move since five. The fell doesn't ask Doris to explain the night. The fell already knows.

Please don’t look away. Please support and share if you can. Afghan students need you. Their class will start on first April.🦋⬇️

Dear Journalists—The media frames sex-based rights and critiques of “gender identity” as strictly right-wing views, but they aren’t. That’s bias, not journalism. Here’s a list of liberal and left-leaning experts you haven’t been talking to ⬇️

@DrNWLuna @sappholives83 I am not a student of psychology or of Freud, but I always thought he knew what he did and was influenced by disbelieving families and community.

@sappholives83 Reminds me of how Freud accepted women patients' history of childhood sexual abuse, but then decided the women were fantasizing -- because so many had similar stories. He refused to see that this abuse of girls was commonplace. 🤬

It wasn’t until 1998 that the American Academy of Pediatrics began instructing doctors to assume that a child who was infected with an STD had been sexually assaulted. This came after more than half a century of lies about infectious toilet seats, lies told to cover up both the reason why a post-war study of STD infection rates found that 10% of infections were seen in girls below the age of 13 — that is, that girls were getting raped — and the fact that rates of infection were highest in upper middle class white families. Once that data came in, researchers claimed — with absolutely zero evidence, and not a single case — that girls were catching STDs from toilet seats, even though this method of transmission had already been ruled out for women and boys. Girls, researchers decided (again with zero evidence) were especially vulnerable to infection from toilet seats because the walls of their vaginas were so thin that it made infection more likely. Just like that, the next fifty years’ worth of infected victims could be waved away as having caught an STD in prepubescence due to an infectious toilet seat. 1998. Sometimes this world just makes me sick.

@sappholives83 thanks for posting this. I did not know this one.

@Serena_Partrick Glad to see you. Hard patch of life you are in right now.

Hi all, sorry for my absence. After months of steady progress, Mum got really sick unexpectedly and things have been very hard. No hospitalisation this time but that was only because we have an oxygen machine at home now and I could nurse her. The paramedics were out 3 times. It has been scary, sad, and absolutely exhausting. Physically, mentally, and emotionally. I just couldn't deal with all the horrors here. The very first story I saw today was about sexual abuse and I am crying already. Mum is improving but the infection is not yet cleared and all her progress has been undone. It is horribly unfairly on her, she had been doing so well, was excited for her rehab course and to be driving again, and a stupid error by the NHS caused this. Sorry again, and thank you from the bottom of my heart to every person speaking up for women's rights, LGB rights, child safety, and all of our freedom of speech, belief, and association. A picture of the sun setting over the 3 Sisters, trees I named for me, Netha, and our other sister. Beautiful skies always make Netha feel close, and I have needed her so much these past weeks.

This is a NATIONWIDE FEMALE HUMAN RIGHTS CRISIS. This should have never been politicized, but here we are. The left needs to step their game up and stop forcibly housing opportunistic sexually predatory men in women’s prisons. This is government sanctioned rape.
