Newsom vetoed a bill that would've prevented insurance discrimination against trans people and allowed people to stockpile 6 months of HRT. So yes, not only would he do this, he is actively doing it right now by endangering our access to healthcare in order to protect insurance companies.

this week, roughly 1,200 ubisoft workers took to picket lines in opposition to a restructuring that will result in mass layoffs, as well as a policy that largely eliminates remote work. so far, ubisoft hasn't budged, but workers say this is just the beginning

Important to note that "Authorized" here means that DHS/ICE have given *Themselves* permission to do this "masked engagement" bullshit, not that either congress or the courts say it's okay. Challenge this everywhere & every way possible, & in the meantime, keep ourselves & each other safe as we can

There has been no draw down today. ICE snatched someone off Central Ave out of his car because he looked Latino before then letting him go a couple hours later. They were stopping people in Blaine on highway 65, they were all around Fridley, and were in the parking lot of the St Anthony liquor store

my boss is now talking to me about adding AI into our work and the entire way he talks about it can be summed up as "what if we had another person on staff who could do things that we wanted them to do" i have a suggestion for how we could resolve this issue.

You absolutely can have a meaningful conversation about AI on here, the real problem is that a certain cohort of white dudes are getting VERY uncomfortable with the meaning surfaced in those conversations

Oh please do fuck off. Tell you what, now ask if pathetic far right incel ideology is doing the same, because let's be honest they are far more likely.

It’s not about whether you personally like or dislike remote work - it’s about executives trying to strip options, jobs & rights away from *everybody*. Working remotely is not just a better setup for many disciplines: it allows teams to include different people w/ different strengths & experiences.

the absolute contempt that every single person I know from Minnesota has for Amy Klobuchar is extraordinary

what we _should_ be saying is “you don’t need a doctor to be on HRT”

The Trump administration is incarcerating migrant girls in, essentially, a forced pregnancy camp.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

My first thought exactly, this is just performative to get any crack in the DHS funding bill. Call your reps and tell them to hold the line.

ICE racially profiled Edith, a Sisseton Wahpeton Dakota woman and severely brutalized her after ripping her from her vehicle! The goal is only 2k, we can surpass that! Venmo: @MsEdith2015 CashApp: $MsEdith2015 Paypal: [email protected] gofundme.com/f/standing-with-edith-against-injustice

Simple fact is this: If you’re a member of the “gender critical” movement, you’re part of a pedophile ring whether you want to be or not.

I heard about a killing of a Black man in DC by US marshals on a call from someone in the neighborhood then saw it confirmed by the organization @harrietsdreams.bsky.social & here. A Black man in DC was killed by the state today. Make the same noise for him as for anyone else when we have his name.

From what I've seen, the actual stereotypical trans woman looks like a high school art teacher. I think we should lean into that stereotype more in our media because it'd be funny

people want a Zelda movie to be "what if Ocarina of Time was LotR" when what it should be is an 80-minute anime OVA released in the early 90's with the weirdest plot you've ever seen and at least one original character who was so endearing that it physically hurts they aren't in any of the games

You know I genuinely don't understand why a lot of people seem to think that depicting trans women as "gender-ambiguous" or "effeminate males who long to be seen as Real Women but can't" is like, "breaking stereotypes". That's the dominant narrative on trans women. It's what most people think.

again: what’s it like working in healthcare during a federal occupation? i implore comrades of #medsky 🩺and to a certain extent #lawsky ⚖️ to pay attention to what they’re doing to us here & over prepare as much as feasible

Every fucking company is like "hey guys you know that thing we make? That we are famous for? Well we're not doing it anymore. Here's a chatbot that'll tell you to drink bleach instead. You're welcome"

The Trump administration is going directly after LGBTQ healthcare providers and targeting them with threats of losing access to Medicaid/Medicare payments. This is government by tweet, where every day, HHS targets more and more GAC providers with threats of investigation and withholding of funding.

In my life, every time Democrats have been given power through election victories they have used that power to enact GOP policies while enshrining whatever awful evil shit the GOP was doing that lost them the election, then Dems lose the next election and act like they powerless for the next decade.

The Mexican grocery store in my neighborhood keeps their doors locked. You have to ring the doorbell to be let in. They do this so their employees & customers don't get kidnapped by ICE. People were already abducted from their parking lot just trying to feed their families. Abhorrent.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

This one is in Longfellow

it is such shitlib cope to think this little boy just needed a pick-me-up from a celebrity and it would be all better. y'all need to think your systems can fix this and everything can go back to normal so bad. no idiots, the carceral state you rallied around is ruining childrens' lives *permanently*

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

this is not hypothetical. a version of this exact story played out when an abusive man deployed the surveillance state against his girlfriend for getting an abortion www.404media.co/police-said-...

Every time tech like this comes out all I can think about is how it will be used by stalkers and abusers

Yeah I’m looking for my dog (girlfriend who has a restraining order against me and she has a dog) and here’s the picture of the dog (she walks this dog and I can use it to figure out her schedule) thanks for sending all footage my way

Imane Khelif did not cheat at the Olympics by the way.

"We're now under hybrid attack from the U.S." "The U.S. has declared a form of information warfare against us. They're going to use everything that they can to destabilize our country, to disrupt us, potentially to break us apart in order to execute on their national security strategy."

There needs to be a global movement to ban treating housing like a speculative asset already. I'm sure there is on a minor scale but like, damn. People are really brain broken over line go up on housing prices

yes but that does not excuse their imperialism in kuwait, iraq, and afghanistan

it’s not solidarity for solidarity’s sake because we’re in this together. it’s solidarity because we want support for something indefensible.

the most insidious part of daroff’s position here (and thus the u.s. jewish establishment more broadly) is that he is outright saying that the jewish community’s solidarity with other minorities is transactional and comes at the cost of supporting israel (which is in league w/ the global far-right).

It's Black History Month. Rebeka lost everything to cancer: savings, ability to work, their home. They're surviving on mutual aid. They owe over $60K in hospital bills & even more in credit card debt bc they had to live on credit when savings ran out. PLEASE CHIP IN! ko-fi.com/rebekamash/g...

Being an observer is only one of many things people are doing while Minneapolis is under federal occupation. If you don't know that, maybe you should not insert yourself into conversations. Jail support, medic work, feeding people, delivering groceries and essentials, etc are all a part of it too.

“We cannot just abolish ICE!” Bestie, you are older than ICE.

The city of Minneapolis, where you can genuinely say "but WHICH dildo related anti-ICE demonstration in 2026 did you mean?"

hard to think of a better example of "you may not believe in class war, but billionaires know they're in one" than this

I lost my grandmother last month to COPD due to decades of smoking and to hear that these communities are developing such issues because of these datacenters is both frightening and heartbreaking. Stop supporting AI and the evil billionaires behind them! They are literally killing people!

idk the way that megyn kelly didnt lose her entire career for saying epstein was interested in 'barely legal teens' has fucking haunted me. i teach grades 6-12 dawg, these are CHILDREN. theyre SO young.

Another of dozens of examples that MPD will indeed always side with ICE and this dweeb should not be listened to. I live in Minneapolis, it doesn't matter what the city has been through. The cops are not gonna be on our side.

the nonprofit industrial complex is meant to squelch movements the tools of good nonprofit and foundation governance make it harder to actually help people because fuck what if you accidentally help the wrong person? what if you accidentally give a single mom $300 more than her rent is? oh no

Any time someone says give the Strib money, stuff like this is why the answer is no.

I will outlaw lawns over a small front yard. We will subsidize you to actually use it to grow food on it. We'll also reduce Golf Courses by no less than 75%, require INCREDIBLE reductions on water use for upkeep. Also; Cruiseliners will be harbored & transitioned into Hospitals, Schools, Housing.
