Kansas will require state-issued ID to view "acts of homosexuality" beginning July 1, which is considered "harmful to minors" under state law.
> The governor of Kansas vetoed an anti-LGBTQ+ bill while simultaneously letting a law pass requiring ID to view "acts of homosexuality."
> Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly issued vetoes Friday against a ban on gender-affirming care for minors as well as two anti-abortion measures. She also let pass without her signature a law requiring age-verification to view content "harmful to minors."
> Under Kansas criminal law, material "harmful to minors" includes nudity and "sexual content," which is defined in part as "acts of masturbation, homosexuality, or sexual intercourse."
> The law, which will go into effect on July 1, requires users to share their government-issued identification in order to view adult content. Websites can be fined up to $10,000 for each instance a minor accesses their content, and parents are allowed to sue for damages of at least $50,000.
> This could theoretically apply to family-friendly media with queer characters, LGBTQ+ charities and community resources, or even medical websites that include information on gender and sexuality. Such websites could soon be forced to block access to young users — cutting off their access to vital resources and information — or face hefty fines.
> Kelly did not comment on the age-verification bill, but gave justification for each of her vetoes. She said that a ban on gender-affirming care for minors “tramples parental rights” and targets “a small group.” She vetoed a similar bill last year, and the legislature did not have the votes to override it.
> “If the Legislature paid this much attention to the other 99.8% of students, we’d have the best schools on earth,” she wrote.
> Lawmakers were able to override Kelly's veto on an anti-transgender school sports bill last year. Her veto of a bill ending the state’s legal recognition of changes in gender identity was also overridden, meaning that transgender people can no longer change their sex on their driver’s licenses or birth certificates in the state.
> The minority leader of the Kansas Senate, Democrat Dinah Sykes of Topeka, told The Advocate earlier this month that she's concerned Republicans will have the votes to override Kelly's vetoes this time around. She said that the laws are "just filled with hate and really just an ignorance toward what this community goes through."
> “It makes these children feel so different and feel like outcasts, and that’s just so cruel," Sykes said. “I worry that these kids and their parents won’t feel safe in Kansas and that they will move to other states, and it's a loss for our state. Unfortunately, we're going to lose some wonderful Kansans because of this bill.”

oh shit :(
edit:
ok after properly reading it and tracking down the tweets its referencing, this is basically just a complaint that Novara media hasnt denounced Bastani for tweeting this last year:
like its kind of dumb to be bashing on idiots that conservatives are using to smear the whole pro palestine movement but its not exactly "collaborating with the police", reading the title i thought that bastani had been making an Orwell style list of pro palestine activists to hand over to MI5. This just blows what happened completely out of proportion and its only purpose seems to be to smear whats currently the best actual media source with any amount of reach in the UK because the head editor made a tweet the guy didnt like.
I used to have a constant rotation of kolektiva people following me and then blocking me like a few days later once they realised I wasn't an anarcho NATOist who wanted to glass Iran
The opinions of anyone on that fed cooperator instance can safely be ignored
nooooo noo they hate the government but love the people.
But also if you hate the government of a country they like then suddenly you're an antisemite or an anti white racist (speaking from personal experience smh)
inspired me to make this smh, im getting better at image editing ngl
yeah, that series was cool af, i think the jack the ripper one was later in the series so that might be why you dont remember it-
time rider spoilers
also it ended with america starting a nuclear war and the DPRUK being destroyed so it was still pretty depressing in the end smh, still, it was surprisingly in favour of a socialist uk ngl, like i think i remember the irish character praising it as being a better future or something (at least before the nuclear war started)
maybe the author was pushed to the left while he was writing it, idk
Me, five hours into explaining what a film is, the existence of Hollywood, the existence of a country over the sea called 'America', the internet and what woke means: "ok so basically, in the year of our lord two thousand and fourteen there was this thing called 'Gamer Gate' and single men who couldn't have sex would harass women for criticising video games"

Russia and China veto US proposal that critics say fell short of demanding an end to Israel’s war on Gaza.
article text
The United Nations Security Council has failed to pass a United States draft resolution calling for, but not demanding, a ceasefire in Israel’s continuing war on Gaza after two permanent members chose to veto it.
The draft put before the Council on Friday received 11 votes in favour, three against – from Russia, China and Algeria – and one abstention by Guyana.
Russia and China both exercised their veto against the resolution, which would have spoken of the “imperative of an immediate and sustained ceasefire” and condemned the October 7 attack by Hamas.
Moscow accused Washington of a “hypocritical spectacle” that does not pressure Israel.
Russia’s ambassador to the UN, Vassily Nebenzia, said the draft was exceedingly politicised and contained an “effective green light” for Israel to mount a military operation in Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah, where more than 1.5 million Palestinians are sheltering.
Nebenzia said there was no call for a ceasefire in the resolution’s text and accused the US leadership of “deliberately misleading the international community”.
China’s representative, Zhang Jun, said the draft “dodged the most central issue, that of a ceasefire” through its “ambiguous” language.
“Nor does it even provide an answer to the question of realising a ceasefire in the short term,” he added. No ‘demand’ for ceasefire
While the US promoted the measure as calling for a ceasefire, critics pointed out that the draft falls short of demanding an end to the war.
The proposal backs the “imperative” for “an immediate and sustained ceasefire to protect civilians on all sides”, differing from previous draft resolutions vetoed by Washington, which demanded an unconditional ceasefire.
Basically the US put forward a deal that does nothing that a ceasefire deal should and don't even directly demand a ceasefire and now they get to act like it's Russia, China and Algeria who are stopping progress despite voting against the last four ceasefire deals
