I keep hoping there's some righteous holdouts in this downward spiral we're in...

Trans rights are human rights, because if one person isn’t free to be who they are, then none of us are free.

The fascists will get around to you eventually.

Google Unwinds Diversity Goals, Citing Trump’s DEI Orders The Silicon Valley giant also said it was reviewing other diversity programs and initiatives and would update them if they seemed risky or ineffective.

Sad, disappointing but not surprising.

Trans people in the U.S. are reporting that they are being refused passport renewals, meaning they can't leave the country:

Seems a lot of folks are leaving the Zuckerverse on account of recent policy changes. I've found FB to be quite a mixed bag for years, but really value some of the private communities I'm a member of.

From the Pennsylvania community on Reddit: Trump pronounces Fetterman ‘impressive’ after Mar-a-Lago meeting: report Explore this post and more from the Pennsylvania community
