it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails.

it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.

Donald Trump is notorious for filing lawsuits at the drop of a hat. He's filed over 4,000 of them. Many for defamation.

But Donald *will not* sue Ted Lieu for defamation. Why? He's been told by lawyers that in defamation actions, truth is an absolute defense.

'AI Is African Intelligence': The Workers Who Train AI Are Fighting Back Kenyan workers are still the underpaid labor behind AI training, moderation, and sex chatbots. The Data Labelers Association is fighting back.

“AI can never be AI without humans. It is not artificial intelligence. It’s African intelligence...We are training our own death. We train ChatGPT and it’s killing us slowly.”

Kenyan workers are still the underpaid labor behind AI training, moderation, and sex chatbots. Now, they're fighting back.

Federal Reserve Board - Proposal Details The Federal Reserve Board of Governors in Washington DC.

The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art)

Tell them you don't want to be told how to spend your money

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

Hey folks, I'm still about $67 (I know) away from getting those pain meds and needing about another 70 for cat litter, on top of some medical payment plans coming due very soon. Please help if you can, I am really desperate for some relief and need to be able to continue therapy. Thank you so much

Tweet from the account “Home of the Brave” quoting Trump promising to lower gasoline prices, with a video still of Trump speaking at a campaign rally in New Hampshire in January 2024.

How’s that working out?

Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.)

This is an atrocity.

Politicians crying that they're just "protecting the children" while doing the exact opposite is nothing new, but if this becomes law it could effectively end the careers of some of you favorite queer creators (including mine!)

An internet stranger (we're in a group for trans folks) said really nice and supportive things to me, gave me an honest compliment and told me I'm pretty!

Ain't nobody can tell me *shit* today. 🥰

The good thing about this war in the Middle East is that, unlike all the others going back thousands of years, it wasn't instigated by bloodthirsty fundamentalist Christian ghouls in search of treasures- [finger to my ear] wha? uh huh, uh well okay folks, some bad news

Fox host says he 'hasn't washed hands in 10 years' Harvard and Princeton graduate Pete Hegseth says germs don't exist because he can't see them.

Just a quick reminder that Pete Hegseth was also the Fox News host who said he never washes his hands, because he doesn't believe in micro organisms as he can't see them. Of course we're all fucked

Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting a CNN exchange. The text includes Blitzer asking about U.S. military losses if the war drags on, and Mullin responding that it is not a war and that the U.S. has not declared war on Iran. Below is a CNN split-screen showing Wolf Blitzer on the left and Senator Markwayne Mullin on the right, with a “BREAKING NEWS” banner reading: “W: TRUMP SAYS NEW IRANIAN LEADERS ‘WANT TO TALK.’”

This is absurd. If another country hit our top civilian and military leaders and wiped them out, then bombed 1,000 targets and threatened five more weeks of bombings, we'd say it was war. Get real or get out of here with this.
