Snowflake Makes It Easy For Anyone to Fight Censorship

Tor, the onion router, remains one of the most effective censorship circumvention technologies. Millions of people use the Tor network every day to access the internet without fear of surveillance and censorship.

meanwhile on Mastodon I hear that ...

"The moderator of @mastodon.social is hiding and limiting people's accounts for opposing the #genocide in #gaza done by #us and israel.

What kind of bad, ignorant person do you have to be to call it a holocaust inversion?"

The #NHS are forcibly detransitioning a #trans woman.

#PandoraHolmes is being held against her will without access to her HRT. Policy is a bridging prescription from DIY, but they are stringing her along and lying, trying to stall until she can't appeal.

This is self-justifying torture. Denied HRT because she's suffering from having her HRT withdrawn. Initially they wanted to hold her two weeks. Now she's facing 6 months. I don't even want to imagine what's next.

An adult is being forcibly detransitioned, in the UK. Make this fucking news everywhere. Before they start opening special camps for trans people.

This is the 8th stage of #genocide

This is what Republicans want for all of us. This is what Biden silently condones. This is what Starmer, Sunak, and the NHS want for all of us.

If you're trans, never forget we are fighting for our lives. If you call yourself an ally, fight for us

#FreePandoraHolmes #transhealthcare

I've put in an appeal demanding my immediate release as forced detransition is inhumane torture

I'll tell you the name of the hospital tomorrow if they say to hrt but also no to releasing me.https://www.gofundme.com/f/pandora-legal-funds

Wix fires Irish employee for Gaza support, tells staff to “join a company initiative to create videos and creative campaigns”, to “support Israel’s narrative” … “show Westernity” in posts, as “unlike the Gazans, we look and live like Europeans and Americans”. It’s “very important to emphasise this in texts and images so that they feel close to us”

Content warning: Armenian Genocide Reveal/hide

Today in Labor History April 24, 1915: The Turkish government arrested 250 Armenian intellectuals in Istanbul. This marked the beginning of the Armenian genocide. The Ottomans slaughtered one million Armenians during World War I, or 90% of the Armenian population. The genocide also destroyed two thousand year’s-worth of Armenian civilization in Asian Minor.
