I’ve just signed the petition, sponsored by former Labour MP Chris Williamson, to “repeal the 2000 and 2006 Terrorism Acts and review other legislation” to prevent police-state abuse and enable real safeguards”.

We need 100k signatures to get this debated in Parliament!

Please won’t you sign using this link ⤵️?

Petitions - UK Government and ParliamentPetition: Repeal the 2000 and 2006 Terrorism Acts and review other legislationWe urge the Government to repeal the Terrorism Acts of 2000 and 2006, and for it to commission a review into how other existing legislation could provide the necessary safeguards for society.

I'll preference this by saying that some people will probably immediately jump to the conclusion that this is an anti-Semitic article. It is not. Saying that the Israeli government or their Intelligence agencies does bad things is no different than saying Donald Trump is acting like a fascist, or that Vladimir Putin is murderous killer. None of those statements indicate hate toward the Israeli, American, or Russian people (at least not all of them, though in at least the first two cases you may not think very highly of the people who voted for the current leaders). That the leadership of a country is doing terrible things does not mean that all the citizens of that country are bad, and you should be able to make that observation without some self-appointed censor trying to shut you down.

So with that said, remember all the QAnon flags on January 6? Remember how it was QAnon that help propel #Trump into his first term? Did you ever wonder how all that nonsense ever got started? Yes, #4chan, but how did all that stuff get posted there? Maybe you thought it was Russian disinformation, but if you thought that, you were blaming the wrong country, according to this article:

Now if this is all true, then it's no wonder why Trump is so willing to give the Israeli government a free pass, and tries so hard to shut down anti-Israeli/pro-Palestinian protests and articles, and is deporting the protestors that aren't U.S. citizens. Remember, he is even trying to shut down universities that don't take a hard line against protests or turn in student protestors to ICE. To put it simply, he owes the Israelis big time!!! They very likely made all the difference in his first election. If you have never watched any of the videos where MAGA types are gathered (at Trump's rallies, for example) there are always several people carrying "Q" or "QAnon" banners, flags, or signs. Even many Republican members of Congress are or were "Q" devotees. I don't think you can possibly understate how much of a difference this made in the 2016 election, and to a lesser extent in the 2024 election.

That is all I will say about it but I hope some of the news sites clamp onto this like a bulldog and do full articles about it. The American people deserve to know who has been manipulating their thinking, and is now responsible for efforts to shut down free speech on American campuses.

Analysis: "American Concentration Camps"

"Once a regime starts to send people to concentration camps, it creates a system of detention that eschews due process & disappears citizens into black holes.

"Our offshore concentration camps are in El Salvador & Guantánamo."

But "once they are normalized, not only for immigrants & residents, but U.S. citizens, they will migrate to the homeland."

The Chris Hedges Report · American Concentration CampsBy Chris Hedges

The fact that #BlueSky has no problem #restricting an #account based solely on the request of another country should give everyone pause.

Every single one of us is breaking another country's laws every single moment of the day.

If you are LGBTQ you are breaking laws in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Hungary, and Russia by simply existing.

If you post something like "fuck Islam and fuck Mohammed" you are breaking laws in just about every Muslim Country on the planet.

So, for BlueSky to capitulate to something like this is very troubling.

And let's not even get into how people are routinely arrested and "cautioned" in the UK for posts they make on Twitter/X or Facebook.

Continued thread

“It’s 3 a.m. as I lie sleepless on a bunk bed in Jena, Louisiana, far from my wife, Noor, who will give birth to our baby in two weeks. The sound of rain hitting the metal roof masks the snoring of 70 men tossing & turning on hard mats in this detention facility run by #Immigration & Customs Enforcement. Which ones are dreaming about reuniting with their families? Which ones are having nightmares about becoming the #Trump administration’s next 'administrative error'?”

Replied in thread

#Trump's admin said on Fri it sought #Harvard University's records on foreign #funding going back a decade & on some foreign ties, in the govt's latest escalation against the educational institution.

Trump has launched a widely condemned crackdown against top US #universities, including Harvard, over pro-#Palestinian campus #protests & other #CultureWar issues like #transgender rights & #diversity, #equity & #inclusion programs.
