Picture of protest in LA using the code words "music festival" to get past Tiktok suppression

Massive protests are underway in LA and NYC and have been for (maybe) a couple weeks now. The news isn't covering them much. But on Tiktok, activists are outsmarting the algorithms by calling them music festivals.

Dear librarians who were burned by CrunchyRoll: HIDIVE gave me written permission to screen their anime for public library events.

Hey folks,

I’m preparing to update my risk assessment map and I am including a new factor: hospitals complying with anti-trans EOs and whether AGs are putting pressure to stop that.

If your hospital system is complying with anti-trans EOs and hasn’t reversed course, let me know here or in DM.

no matter what the circumstances, democrats are always saving their energy for a mythical future situation where they will do something good

Figure out how much you'd need for the first month to do this. Crowd fund that. Then halfway through that month, start a Patreon (or some such) to fund ongoing work

Somewhere, Jeff Bezos is angrily clicking “track shipment” to see what happened to his new editorial page.

Social Security has never missed a payment. DOGE actions threaten 'interruption of benefits,' ex-agency head says New changes at the U.S. Social Security Administration may put its ability to deliver monthly benefit checks at risk, former agency head says.

"people should start saving now" is an awful shitty thing to say to the 7.5M disabled people on SSI who legally cannot save more than $2k without losing their benefits which are a max of $943 a month to fucking begin with

Marco Rubio May Have Just Banned Trans Foreigners Seeking Visas From US Entry A new state department cable, meant to target transgender athletes, indicates a potential broader application to all transgender visas, which it states must contain "sex at birth."

"They're putting persecuted Christian refugees in camps in the jungle" sounds like something Glenn Beck would accuse the Obama administration of doing and yet now it's a pillar of the Republican agenda.

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.

You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.

My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

Gee, if only it had ever occurred people to dare to teach kids to stay away from drugs.

Drugs are bad, mkay?

All of this because folks didn’t want to vote for that lady

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

"Self care" will never be a sufficient response to a genocide progressing in our midst. Community care isn't enough (alone) either, but it's a step in the right direction.

The 93% are sitting this one out, for good reason. The 47% need to step up.

Diseased Pariah News - Wikipedia

I've been thinking a lot today about the 1990's AIDS zine, Diseased Pariah News. Some of us older queers survived the Reagan/Bush years out of sheer spite, fueled by campy humor, irreverence, and Cherries in the Snow lipstick.
