A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto

She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card

Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her.

She spoke out and was kicked out of the country.

It’s retaliation & it’s wrong

How would you describe that worldview?
My father told me something when I was very small to instill confidence in me: β€œNobody in the world is worth more than you, but nobody’s worth less.” It is an egalitarian view that I’ve carried around in my life. That’s why I am for free schools, free universities, free health care, and free babysitting. Because our society could afford it. In America, people think social democracy is some kind of communism. They think capitalism is freedom. It’s not. It’s only freedom to exploit people.

A cover of Tehanu by Ursula K. Le Guin, the fourth book in the Earthsea Cycle. This one features a small green plant in the middle, with its deep roots visible in the ground underneath, and a cloudy sky above. At the bottom of the plant there are flames.

Just finished Tehanu, which is definitely my favorite of the Earthsea Cycle so far. It is quite different, and feels a bit like the Tombs to Shore's Wizard, but I enjoyed how it was about "common" and domestic life, gender, the grandness and freedom of a humble life, etc. #Earthsea #booksky

I am literally begging you to read the very short book. that's what the book is about. that's literally what the book is about. Mary Shelley's Frabkenstein is the first book about not building the torment nexus. you're as bad as the fucking Sun. it's a short book you're supposed to be fucking journ–

"But when the team looked at the employees’ actual work output, they found that the developers had completed tasks 20% slower when using AI than when working without it. Researchers were stunned. β€œNo one expected that outcome. We didn’t even really consider a slowdown as a possibility.”

Didn't quite like The Farthest Shore as much as the previous two. There are some great quotes, mostly by Sparrowhawk, and it is fun to see him as the teacher rather than the student, but Arren felt a bit like a blank slate. The book is fairly dreary. I like what it went for, but I was a bit unmoved.

I was waiting a bit in the first half of The Tombs of Atuan for "the turning point," but it was a pretty interesting setting for this type of book. I think the book gets a lot of its power from how it contrasts and compares to A Wizard of Earthsea.

One of the many covers of Ursula K. Le Guin's A Wizard of Earthsea. This one has a hawk(?) above the sea.

Been reading Ursula K. Le Guin's #Earthsea books for the first time, and I am halfway through now. A Wizard of Earthsea surprised me with how the first couple of chapters were written, but I really enjoyed it. It had a wonderful sense of empathy, which has so far continued through all the books. πŸ“šπŸ’™

They always start with free speech. It sounds reasonable, doesn’t it? Free speech? And they can use it to shut down anyone who criticises them, because it’s all β€œfree speech”

After β€œfree speech” it’s β€œprotecting women and girls”

And then it’s whatever they actually wanted.

Screenshot of a PinkNews article headline reading β€œ17-year-old trans girl’s suicide over NHS wait times was preventable, coroner rules.” The article is dated October 9 and written by Amelia Hansford. The PinkNews logo appears at the top in pink and black.

Remember all of the ghouls who denied this was happening and did everything they could to make the problem worse from JK Rowling to Wes Streeting. The NHS who did a stitch up report to hide the growing number of suicides from trans youth on the waitlists. They should never be forgiven.

Netflix Stock Up As Elon Musk's Anti-Trans Boycott Fails To Materialize Last week, conservatives tried to cancel Netflix to force the carrier to remove transgender characters.

1. Anti-trans outrage is losing its bite.

Last week, Elon Musk led a mass boycott campaign to get trans characters removed from shows on the platform.

Major conservatives joined in.

Now, we have the result: the boycott was a fizzle, and Netflix stock is up.

Doing anything more than turn on the camera, talk, and then turn it off, would provide visual interest. Different shots, b-roll, have the game on camera while talking, etc.

1-866-952-4456 to tell Netflix that in no way do you want Elon fucking Musk determining what you watch.

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women.

The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring β€˜reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.
