This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment.

If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

But actually it's the other way around! "You" was the respectful, upward directed form. "Thou" was downward directed, but also conveyed familiarity or intimacy. The latter was used for God to emphasize a personal relationship with the divine.

This is what I need cis folks to understand.

It's been a decade.

Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it

Then they went to a fine dining establishment (within per diem, of course) and were dismayed their steak was too juicy, their lobster too buttery.

a drawing of my character Penny (a white, freckled girl with green eyes in a pink hoodie and white sweatpants with her light-brown hair tied into a ponytail) standing in front of a computer desk with a very cleanly-built impressive-looking computer sat on it.

she is saying "Yeah, it's fine, it struggles with Elden Ring at max settings though... I think I need an upgrade..."

contrasting with the previous drawing, a drawing of my character Nellie (a white woman with brown eyes, and short black hair with magenta-pink highlights cut into a bob which covers one eye, wearing gym shorts and a grey t shirt, who also happens to be Penny's girlfriend) standing in front of a much shoddier desk with a pile of computer components loosely tied together with wiring.

she is saying "This bad boy can play so much fucking Half Life"

Yes, we should continue to wick the blood of the destitute upwards to enrich the wealthy. Because that has been working so well, and is so right in principle.

ICE killed a US citizen in Texas. The public was not told a federal agent fired the fatal shot until much later.

I think "human nature" itself is an authoritarian concept. It's only ever used to justify authoritarian tendencies.

As the pedophile führer's ICE Nazis are ordered to release people they've kidnapped, they do it in the dead of night to make sure it's as cruel and brutal as possible. Fortunately, compassionate Patriots are there to meet them and make sure they're ok and driven to their homes.

REMEMBER: All the "Don't use em-dashes" "don't use rule of three" advice because it makes your writing "look like AI" is because they stole actual writers work, and their "predict the next thing" stuff just simulates what WE FUCKING DO. Keep writing well. Use every style and trick you have. Fuck AI.

“Not Ready for Prime Time.” A Federal Tool to Check Voter Citizenship Keeps Making Mistakes. The Department of Homeland Security pushed out the revamped tool while it was still adding data. That led to widespread misidentification, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.

NEW: A federal tool meant to find noncitizens on voter rolls is consistently marking citizens as noncitizens, especially if they were born outside the U.S., causing chaos as election clerks try not to disenfranchise voters, @zachdespart.bsky.social and I found. 🧵 www.propublica.org/article/save...

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
MARK KELLY,
Plaintiff,
Civil Case No. 26-81 (RJL)
V.
PETE HEGSETH, et al.,
Defendants.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
February 12, 2026 [Dkt. #2]
United States Senator Mark Kelly, a retired naval officer, has been censured by
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth for voicing certain opinions on military actions and
policy. In addition, he has been subjected to proceedings to possibly reduce his retirement
rank and pay and threatened with criminal prosecution if he continues to speak out on these
issues.
Secretary Hegseth relies on the well-established doctrine that military
servicemembers enjoy less vigorous First Amendment protections given the fundamental
obligation for obedience and discipline in the armed forces. Unfortunately for Secretary
Hegseth, no court has ever extended those principles to retired servicemembers, much less a retired servicemember serving in Congress and exercising oversight responsibility over
the military. This Court will not be the first to do so!

decisions are exempt from judicial review and, in any event, that Senator Kelly should first
be required to go through the military appeals process so the military can have the first
crack at adjudicating his First Amendment rights. I disagree. This Court has all it needs
to conclude that Defendants have trampled on Senator Kelly's First Amendment freedoms
and threatened the constitutional liberties of millions of military retirees. After all, as Bob Dylan famously said, "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows." To say the least, our retired veterans deserve more respect from their Government, and our
Constitution demands they receive it!
Senator Kelly's First Amendment claim is not only justiciable; he is likely to
succeed on the merits. He has also shown irreparable harm, and the balance of the equities
fall decidedly in his favor. As such, his motion for a preliminary injunction on his First
Amendment claim is hereby GRANTED.

Trump administration is sending pregnant migrant girls to South Texas shelter flagged as medically inadequate Government sources and advocates for the children worry the goal is to concentrate them in Texas, where abortion is banned.

The Trump administration is incarcerating migrant girls in, essentially, a forced pregnancy camp.

“There were no attacks on members of the KKK—it was a boycott of them in public life, and then slowly the KKK disappeared.

That’s what we’re trying to do here, to allow the public to know which of their neighbours are involved in this.”
