Fuck everyone who was "just asking questions" and just wanted to "protect children."
Important insight. ALSO, I have no patience (and I mean ZERO) with people who say "they won't ban birth control." They will eventually try BECAUSE WHAT THEY WANT IS TO CONTROL YOUR BODILY AUTONOMY. We need to be proactive about BODILY AUTONOMY IN GENERAL.

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.
Quick question - why is PFLAG, an organization supposedly about advocating for LGBTQ people, partnering and giving a platform to anti-LGBTQ Meta?
Meta, which was all over the news last year about their anti-LGBTQ policy changes, which have made things less safe for queer and trans people?
hey everybody lifelong tech expert here

that's not how anything works they're lying and destroying evidence hope that helps
BREAKING: A young doctor who lives near where Alex Pretti, a nurse, was killed by ICE says in a declaration he saw the shooting, went out to help, was not let through at first then patted down before being let by, and was apparently the first to try and provide any medical assistance to Pretti.
Affidavit from one of the witnesses to today’s murder. She was right there.
Abolish ICE.
Hold those who oversee this operation accountable.
For what they are doing is evil.
“ICE > MN” is impeachable by itself.
We're not allowed to see the faces of the taxpayer-funded goon squad who is committing crimes in the streets, but the goon squad is allowed to record the faces of taxpayers who have committed no crimes.
TikTok is now under US ownership and their new ToS reads like a guide to giving fascists everything they need to put you on a list.
They’re collecting information about immigration status, citizenship, sexual orientation, whether you’re trans or non binary and physical or mental disabilities.

Happy Friday, let's dive into the implications of BitLocker key management:
More than enough volunteers willing to do outdoor shifts in MN when it's -10 (that's -23 Celsius).
Also be on the lookout for, 'Yah, dat's gonna hafta be a "no" from me, dere', 'Ohh, I dunno 'bout dat', and, 'I'm not so sure dat's a good idear'.
Watch this. Watch again.
"This incredible thing last night... We have to do it again [in other countries]. We can do it again, too. Nobody can stop us."
MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of generative AI deployments fail after interviewing 150 execs, surveying 350 workers, and analyzing 300 projects. The real “productivity gains” seem to come from layoffs and squeezing more work from fewer people not AI.
Sexualization of children? They don't see us as anything but something to have sex with, that's why they're so mad at transgender people and children especially
We are not amused.
It is not only the GOP erasing us,
Let @indivisible.org know we won't be erased by the Left or the Right!
For reference this is 25% of the entire Israeli population. Obviously it's easier to organize in a small state but this makes the No Kings protest in America proportionally tiny by comparison.

The official version of the constitution on Congress.gov has removed Article I, Section 9 and 10 from the website which includes the writ of habeus corpus.

BigLaw was never going to save us. The tiny bit of good work they did was always just marketing to paper over their primary role: getting paid a lot of money to make the world worse.
A Stripe rep hung up on me when they realized they told me they're disallowing "LGBTQ content" in transactions, so either they're slipping up more or just being more honest about their real intentions.
Keep the pressure up, keep calling, maybe start recording what they're telling you.
Ring is rolling back many of the reforms it’s made in the last few years by easing police access to footage from millions of homes in the United States.
DOJ put out a memo stating that all recipients of federal funding must ban trans people from bathrooms.

Call call call. Visa is literally begging us to stop calling and send emails. Calls cost them way more money and they can't use key words to filter them out
That’s an awful lot of avocado toast
