Remigration is a European far-right concept of ethnic cleansing via the mass deportation of non-white minority populations, especially immigrants and sometimes including those born in Europe and holding European citizenship - Wikipedia
A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

The bigotry is baked in and constant. The Breaking Point poster was an example of very clear racism, but it was inadequately challenged, and now we are where we are.

An MP in Zimbabwe has called for the repeal of the country's "backwards" 1977 abortion law. He argued that safe abortion should be available to a wider range of Zimbabwean women, as it is currently restricted to a privileged few. Each year, 60,000 women die due to unsafe abortion.

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

People vastly underestimate how important trans* rights are in the contemporary fight for freedom.

If you cannot make your own choices for your body, the name you go by, or even the very clothes that you wear, then you are not, in any sense, meaningfully free.

It’s especially ironic because the lecture is exactly about the ‘paralyzing cowardice’ of today’s elites.

This sentence was taken out of a lecture they commissioned, reviewed through the full editorial process, and recorded four weeks ago in front of 500 people in the BBC Radio Theatre.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Tesla is anti-union.

Amazon is anti-union.

McDonald's is anti-union.
