sometimes i wonder to myself if we've reached the logical end point of "too big to fail".

"too big to be regulated"

"too big to policed"

"too big to not allow them to do horrible crimes"

bring back the trust busters. "too big" is the problem.
amoral companies should be axed by government.

ive litterally seen a FOI for minutes come back with everything redacted except a single attendee, and that was the deputy minister conducting the meeting.

the censors pen need to be regulated better, and the regulations need to be enforced.

democracy dies in darkness and all that

Im having to remind myself that the world is not sane right now.

Because whilst i understand the mechanics of why this is happening, i still just cant believe it

They are just out and out lying, making factually untrue statements.

HOW DO THEY KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS
**flips table**

I love learning about art from before written history.

Its always been my touchstone for "no matter the era, people are still people"

Have you seen the Cueva de las Manos hand paintings from argentina?

something so definitively human about putting your hand on a medium and painting arround it

FUCK. YES.

I work as an engineer in an Aero firm with similar contracts to Leonardo (we work with them some times) and was really anxious over this

good news :D

This, so much this. I feel to keep up, ai have to hold so many obscure facts in my head that are only going to get used for fighting transphobia

I got work to do damnit! my brain can only retain so many facts and my MSc is in aero engineering, not bigotry!

just let me love planes transphobes!

THEN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT

You our our elected representitive. We ELECTCTED YOU TO REPRESENT US.

Freeking do something!!!!!

yeah

i used to like OJ, but something about him lately has been feeling a little more... franticly angry and misplaced

then you should leave.

because even allowing a debate like this is a strong red flag with "We consider trans rights to be a political football, not a fight for human rights and equality" printed upon it.

good people do not tolerate debate on the fundemental human rights of others.

With respect, many people, including myself, are no longer satisfied with the bear scraps of aknowledgment.

especially when bigots who oppose our very existance, are granted powerful seats at the table, whilst supposed allies allow them to launder their hate speech as "debate"

JK Rowling "signals support for trans rights".

thats what happens when bigots try to launder their rhetoric

we used to believe anything before the word "but" was a lie.

why has that changed now people are saying "I support trans people, but...."

...made glorious hehehe by this sun of meme

whats that sad old nitwit done now?

they might argue GDPR? but no doubt, the power of redaction is being abused to all hell

one day maby, i strongly believe the system is self healing, but like all healing requires care and attention incase it heals wrong.

we must keep pushing for change, even when it looks like things are going backwards. Especially then.

2 steps forward, 1 step back is still 1 step forwards
