It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

ICE aren’t real cops nor are they real federal agents.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Kill all Nazis.

It's such an easy thing to say!

KILL ALL NAZIS.

a flow-chart with 2 islands. "Do I need AI?" that flows into a final island saying "No"

The cure for nazis is still out there, free for use.

All your protesting online, writing to your MPs, attending protests, sharing news, keeping the conversation going is making changes

All your complaints against war, especially your tax funding it, govs selling arms….

Is turning the tides.

Don’t stop.

They can’t ignore the public forever.

He really didn't want people to see this so he had it taken down. He probably doesn't want to see photos like this flooding social media either.

So it goes....

Cruising crackdown in Penn Station bathroom puts at least 20 men in ICE custody State and city laws prohibit local police departments from turning people over to ICE. That restriction does not apply to the federally run Amtrak Police Department.

What might not occur to you upon reading this headline is that, in other words, ICE is targeting gay men of color

Every queer press org should be picking up this story

Notice to Physicians on the Use of Acetaminophen During Pregnancy In recent years, evidence has accumulated suggesting that the use of acetaminophen by pregnant women may be associated with an increased risk of neurological conditions such as autism and ADHD in children. Some studies have described that the risk may be most pronounced when acetaminophen is taken chronically throughout pregnancy to childbirth. These concerns may be magnified by the fact that a very young child's liver may still be developing and thus a child's ability to metabolize the drug may be limited. To be clear, while an association between acetaminophen and autism has been described in many studies, a causal relationship has not been established and there are contrary studies in the scientific literature. The association is an ongoing area of scientific debate and clinicians should be aware of the issue in their clinical decision-making, especially given that most short-term fevers in pregnant women and young children do not require medication. In the spirit of patient safety and prudent medicine, clinicians should consider minimizing the use of acetaminophen during pregnancy for routine low-grade fevers. This consideration should also be balanced with the fact that acetaminophen is the safest over-the-counter alternative in pregnancy among all analgesics and antipyretics; aspirin and ibuprofen have well-documented adverse impacts on the fetus. Sincerely, Marte Mala Martin A. Makary, M.D., M.P.H. Commissioner of Food and Drugs

FDA Overlord Marty Makary stood by as Trump falsely said to the world that Tylenol causes autism.

Then he sent this letter to physicians.

“To be clear, while an association between acetaminophen and autism has been described in many studies, a causal relationship has not been established”.

No combat, just you, the horse(s) you've tamed, bred and trained and the vast wilderness. Would you play this?

Behind Grok's 'sexy' settings, workers review explicit and disturbing content Workers say they've faced sexually explicit content while xAI has marketed Grok to be deliberately provocative. Experts say the company should be cautious.

This is horrific and feels like it should be a bigger deal. Business Insider reports that people who have worked at xAI have seen Grok create images and written material with child sex abuse material.

PANEL 1: A guy sporting a pin shaped like a monster leans over to a big glass tube full of skin in the close foreground. GUY: Hey Geoff. I see you're not wearing a Bone Farmer memorial pin? PANEL 2: GEOFF, the skin pile, starts to talk, over the shoulder of the GUY. GEOFF: I mean, it'd be kind of tough to– GUY: It's bone farmer memorial day. GUY: We're all remembering all the good stuff he did. PANEL 3: The GUY dabs away a tear. GEOFF: Like what? Name one thing. GUY: Shh! I'm remembering it all right now. Silently. PANEL 4: THE GUY, dialing a phone. GUY: It's like you don't even know the rules of the day? GUY: I'm going to call the cops.

Believe trans people when we tell you the 'science' behind the Cass Report is as solid as the 'science' behind paracetamol causing autism.

A 2018 comic by Matt Lubchansky in which 2 characters lament the death of the "bone farmer", a monster who steals people's bones. In the last panel a guy with no bones in a big glass jar comes out and says "gonna have to disagree with you folks here" and one of the people replies "too soon, geoff"

The national gaslighting about Charlie Kirk Another pattern of censorship that only hurts the left—and emboldens political violence.

Since Charlie Kirk was fatally shot, people on the left have been censored, punished, and targeted with more violence for telling the truth about Kirk's legacy. The cycle continues: mainstream whitewashing of violence begets more violence and the victims are blamed.

My dad first signed up for Twitter to follow live sports and he’s a freak about U of I. One day he said to me “Twitter is abuzz about Illini golf,” and I was like dude you only follow Illini sports accounts. And that’s how every reporter feels Charlie Kirk was the most important person in the world.

Update: Civil War cancelled due to shooter being demographically uncooperative

TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON This cartoon has four panels. PANEL 1 The panel shows a doctor, with thick-framed glasses, neat shoulder-length white hair, and holding a clipboard, in an examining room talking to a patient. The patient is wearing striped pants and a square-collar short sleeved blouse, and has her dark hair in a bun. The patient is sitting on one of those patient examination tables they have in doctors’ offices. The patient is using her right hand to hold out her left arm, which is not connected to her body, to show it to the doctor. Important: The doctor is thin, the patient is fat. The doctor is calm; the patient is also calm, but also concerned. DOCTOR: Hi, I’m doctor Douglas. What seems to be the problem? PATIENT: I woke up this morning and my arm had fallen off. PANEL 2 The doctor, still speaking calmly, is looking down at the patient’s body. The patient, still holding her detached left arm in her right hand, looks a bit annoyed. DOCTOR: Hmmmm…. First thing, let’s get you on a diet. PATIENT: A diet? To reconnect my arm? PANEL 3 A shot from behind the doctor, looking over the doctor’s shoulder at the patient. The patient is now quite angry, raising her voice. DOCTOR: Your weight is the real issue here… How many times a day do you eat fast food? PATIENT: I’M HERE ABOUT MY ARM! PANEL 4 The doctor, now alone, sits at a desk in an office (desk lamp, degree on wall, books on a shelf). The doctor is typing on a laptop, and looks peeved. Above her, we see words in the air showing what she’s typing. DOCTOR (writing on laptop): “Patient was uncooperative…”

i literally just quit my job because my employer was installing a competitor's version of this product in their fleet. one look even at what you consent to let these firms do in their privacy policies and you can see stuff like this coming from miles away. no healthy social order would lead us here

This sums up this payment NSFW fiasco pretty well.

Taking a break from Magic posting to say:

The current administration is trying to taking away the legal personhood status of at least two marginalized groups (immigrants, trans folks) in an attempt to make it so the law doesn't apply.

We can't be okay with reps throwing them further under the bus.

If you're in the UK, the new leader of the Green party just said, on camera:

"We want a wealth tax"
"There is a genocide in gaza"
"We are extremely at risk of the rise of fascism"

Do I think they're going to be perfect? No. Are they now hope number one? Yeah.
