Honestly, that’s been the most interesting thing about learning this from you the past couple days. I recognize a lot of parallels to north American indigenous cultures, but obviously the history of conquest took a very different turn here

Academic freedom in the United States has found itself periodically under siege, but the current attacks from the federal government raise a new level of alarm. nyer.cm/u405qvQ

Damn. Yeah we need that bad! I’ve been thinking a lot about it since 47 started his rampage and wondering what it could look like. Of course one of the Scandinavian countries already has it lol

Does that mean it’s effectively a four branch government? Judicial, executive, administrative and legislative?

The thing about β€œjust asking questions” is that you choose which questions you consider important enough to ask, and those choices reveal a lot about you.

everything means the opposite for these people. freedom
means your freedom to obey. the first amendment means their freedom to tell you what you can read and think.

It’s really weird lately getting older and watching that and being less and less able to relate… like the more I get radicalized and farther I get from those kinds of men the better I feel…

If Musk and Trump really wanted to identify waste and fraud in the federal government, they would've brought in teams of FINANCIAL AUDITORS, not teenage hackers.

The Impact of Age Verification Measures Goes Beyond Porn Sites As age verification bills pass across the world under the guise of β€œkeeping children safe online,” governments are increasingly giving themselves the authority to decide what topics are deemed β€œsafe” ...

Age verification laws are right up there with real names policies in the pantheon of "you think this is going to help people, but it's actually quite disastrously bad" ideas.

Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT.

@distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

Fact checking is not censorship.

It's an essential public service.

Disinformation kills. Period.
