Massive Protests against American fascist paramilitary forces in the Olympics (Milan, Italy - 2026)

The world heard JD Vance being booed at the Olympics. Except for viewers in the US

The real risk for American broadcasters is not that dissent will be visible. It is that audiences will start assuming anything they do not show is being hidden

🕯️ On This Day in LGBTQ+ History: February 8 ⚠️ February 8, 2018: Turkey’s extended ban on LGBTQ+ events in Ankara signals deepening repression By February 8, 2018, authorities in Turkey’s capital, Ankara, were actively enforcing an expanded ban on all LGBTQ+ events and public gatherings. What began in late 2017 as a temporary prohibition was, by early February, clearly becoming an ongoing policy tool used to suppress visibility, assembly, and expression. International observers warned that the ban was spreading fear and setting a precedent for broader restrictions nationwide. At this moment in history: 🕯️Pride events, film screenings, panels, and cultural gatherings were prohibited 🕯️LGBTQ+ activists faced police harassment, detentions, and threats of prosecution 🕯️Community spaces closed or moved underground to avoid enforcement 🕯️Violence and hate speech increased as state messaging framed LGBTQ+ visibility as a public threat February 8 serves as a context date marking when emergency style restrictions hardened into routine repression. The Ankara ban was widely cited as a major setback for freedom of assembly and expression, demonstrating how administrative power can be used to erase LGBTQ+ communities without changing national law. Who continues to defend against this repression Locally, organizations such as Kaos GL, Pink Life LGBTI+ Association, and Social Policy, Gender Identity, and Sexual Orientation Studies Association worked to document abuses, provide legal support, and maintain community connections despite the ban. Globally, groups including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, ILGA-Europe, and the Council of Europe raised alarms, supported legal challenges, and pressured Turkish authorities to reverse course. These combined efforts helped keep international attention focused on the human cost of prolonged bans on LGBTQ+ visibility. #LGBTQHistory #HumanRights #FreedomOfAssembly #LGBTQTurkey
