There wasn't a Paris "Shooting". There was a Paris Terrorist attack at the hands of a right-wing Terrorist who was released just a few days ago for attacking refugees in tents with a sword last year. This is yet another result of the popular use of Stochastic Hate by fascists. Whether the targetting of the Kurdish community is related to fascist rhetoric of the Turkish state is yet to be seen but it's a clear from the response to the Kurds who gathered after the attack that the policy in play remains deeply hostile in France - as it is in the UK. Our sympathy with the victims of this terrorism and our solidarity with those on the streets who responded to police intimidation appropriately. Today's events are a keen reminder of the threat fascists (civil and state) present to us all.

Here is an incomplete list of journalists that Elon Musk has suspended from Twitter today. He also suspended the Twitter account of Mastodon. It's Going Down Aaron Rupar Donie O’Sullivan (CNN) Drew Harwell (Washington Post) Ryan Mac (NY Times) Matt Binder (Mashable) Tony Webster (award winning freelancer) Micah Lee (the Intercept) Keith Olbermann Steve Herman Elon Musk bought Twitter in order to suppress free speech and consolidate control of the spaces in which public discourse takes place, as a means to advance his authoritarian quest for profit and power. It's necessary to oppose him the way we would fight against any aspiring tyrant, any oppressor.

Today, Twitter suspended It's Going Down (@igd_news), a longtime anarchist and anti-fascist news source that had never previously run afoul of the Twitter rules. IGD received no explanation for the ban. At the time of their suspension, they had 108,000 followers. Elon Musk was lying through his teeth when he said he believes in free speech. He bought Twitter in order to suppress the voices of those who seek an egalitarian society. Since taking over the platform, he has reinstated avowed neo-Nazis and taken guidance from those who explicitly support fascism as he targets journalists and activists.

Quote from article: As a society, we struggle to listen to children when they tell us what they need. This problem extends beyond trans kids to queer kids of all stripes, to children who tell us about abuse in their homes, to even the archetypal son who wants to play music when his dad wants him to play football. We claim to prioritize children, but we actually prioritize the idea of them, an imagined ideal that allows them as little autonomy as possible. “We don’t listen to children. We treat children as manifestly inferior to adults. We give them less rights,” says Gill-Peterson. “We make them economically and politically dependent on adults. We put them in dangerous and vulnerable situations all the time. They have no control or participation in authoring the world they live in, the schools they go to, the doctor’s offices they visit, the adults they’re left alone with. And then we say they’re incapable of knowing anything. Therefore, they have no ability to hold adults to account. That’s a very disturbing way to treat a group of people.” https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/23281683/trans-kids-transition-medicine-surgery
