<p>Young people particularly distrust the police (more than their overall distrust of the institutions run by older people).

Some weeks it feels like none of this matters. That feeling is rational; it is a system working exactly as intended. This week’s mutual aid roundup listed twelve requests and eleven Palestinian campaigns that need movement. Just like me, they need help. I’m unsure if I have any reasons or justifications other than I just felt like doing it, I just felt like listing them all. Maybe because they’re there, maybe because some weeks are harder than the rest, maybe because I can and don’t need any reason or justification to do something, or maybe because this is the only thing I can give them. We help not because we can, or because we want to, but because we must. If you can't or won't help me, then help them. Support them within your capacity in the way that matters—materially, socially, however you can.

<p>No-one should die in the way Anne Widecombe did, and that rightly is an outrage (although to be frank no more an outrage than any number of other women killed in their own homes).... but what I really am getting tired of is the way she is now being presented as a lovable eccentric who made us laugh on Strictly.</p><p>No she was an evil, callous and vindictive woman whose politics are part of the poison visited upon us by the Right... not the woman currently being 'celebrated' in death.</p><p><a href="/tags/politics/" rel="tag">#politics</a></p>
<p>Funny how the right says the left is "so hateful" when it comes to the death of Lindsey Graham <img src="https://eggplant.place/media/emoji/mstdn.social/flan_laugh.png" class="emoji" alt=":flan_laugh:" title=":flan_laugh:"> </p><p>About the whole of the alt-right is build on literal hate so they really don't have anything to say</p><p>Personally I could not be more happy when a hateful person is checked of the list</p><p>Don't let the hypocrites try to make you feel bad, they do that enough already 🤷♂️ </p><p><a href="/tags/politics/" rel="tag">#politics</a></p>

<p>Under Trump, the United States has made it clear that dependence on US tech can and will be weaponized.</p><p>In part, that's a new development — at least for some parts of the world.

<p>Democratic countries need to push back against the Chinese party-state's efforts to exclude Taiwan from participating in international events, writes Nathan Attrill </p><p>"Beijing wants governments and institutions to see engagement with Taiwan as a source of trouble to avoid.
