With ICE arriving in the San Francisco Bay Area, an organizing meeting is underway NOW. https://actionnetwork.org/events/stay-out-of-the-bay-emergency-mobilization-call-know-your-rights-build-community-defense-mobilization-plans/ #ice #uspol #organizing #resistance #antifa #fascism

What I wore today… (Aside: I bought this during W's administration, and hoped I'd never need it again.) #nokings

This #witch “Hexes All Fascists!”#NoKings

taken at the FDR Memorial in DC, a few days ago. #nokings

What a crazy day! No Kings protest in the morning. Son’s taekwondo class in the afternoon. And in the evening we spent a few hours at the San Jose International Film Festival. #nokings #taekwondo #sjintlfilmfestival

Read this story and it instantly reminded me of a most apropos meme in reply. https://ground.news/article/salesforce-ceo-apologizes-for-saying-trump-should-send-national-guard-to-san-francisco #billioaireidiots #ReadTheRoom #fascists #salesforce #ice #dhs #nationalguard #uspol

At long last my OG #nest #thermostat will very soon become unmanageable and won’t receive updates from the mother ship. Considering it’s older than my 12 year old, it’s had a marvelous run… and I avoided ever having to Google it. So now I’m looking for a thermostat that can do #matter, #threads […]

Find a protest near you! Be there or be square! https://www.nokings.org/ #nokings

This makes me think of vampire lore where they must be invited inside before they may cross a threshold. #ice are nasty #vampires who don’t follow rules. https://universeodon.com/@jaykuo/115380541574058486

I was just wondering today if the US shutdown will last longer than the funding period of the bill some are trying to force through. I would actually find this kind of amusing, assumptions about political pressure. It’s gotten to the point where civil rights and health may begin to outweigh […]

As free Windows 10 support ends today, consider upgrading to a Linux operating system! You will continue to be protected with security updates, but you will also gain total freedom for your device. Doesn't have to be Fedora - look around for the Linux distro that works for you. :) Learn more […]

I am openly closeted. #nationalcomingoutday

Perhaps Marc should instead spend time in an ICE detention facility, deported to a foreign prison without a court hearing, and then lecture us all about how our cities ought to be militarized for his benefit. #uspol #ice #fascism #techbro […]

Oh, so now the problem is #circumcision? Did any of these shit-for-brains "experts" go looking around for an #uncut #autistic guy? No? Not even one minute spent trying to rule out their latest cockamamie (sorry) hypothesis? #rfkjr #brainworms […]

As much as Felon desperately proclaims his need for a Nobel peace prize, how unfair must it be to learn they’re antifa! I find this both reassuring and absolutely hilarious. If you’re so America First, then how about stopping the terrorization if citizens using ICE, the National Guard, tariffs […]

I really can’t wait see this movie! The Divergent Gift: Unboxing Autism https://youtube.com/watch?v=CWieC7x5WP4&si=mgjx7yAX04UeHTDQ #actuallyautistic #adhd #AuDHD @actuallyautistic

As much as I know that this administration will set civil rights back decades, it still makes my stomach turn watching it happen like this. It would be far more humane if they just took these poor minors to the slaughter rather than torture them this way. It’s like a brand new inquisition, with […]

Queer identity is a lot like a delicious sandwich. Layer in all the bits you want from a wide array of options, and make it personally yours.

We’re driving to my son’s taekwondo lesson. They do group sessions. I hear a big sigh. What’s wrong? “I’m feeling anxious.” “About what?” “People.” I get that. It is a thing. But it’s also good to find ways to enjoy the things we like (taekwondo) despite the things we often don’t (people) […]

I’m so glad that dealers make money selling customers’ information. But this results in scams like this one. And how ironic they’d bill themselves as the Public Safety Crime Center. 🤣 So, no, it’s isn’t harmless when companies sell our data for profit […] [Original post on federate.social]

if you have ever complained about the nonsensical ratios of imperial units, consider that for a while the scottish inch was sometimes 1/37 of an ell, and sometimes 1/42 of an ell, and in 1663 the scottish parliament, tired of some twelve-inch feet being smaller than other twelve-inch feet […]

It’s amazing how quickly Xfinity acknowledges they’re doing PLANNED MAINTENANCE in our area, when we ping their bot about an outage. Hey, how about TELLING US IN ADVANCE when you’re “planning” to have us offline?? #planning #communication #failure

I should thank our despot in chief for a new vernacular. My son sprained an ankle yesterday and asked for something for the pain. “Would you like some extra Autism?” It takes him a moment and then the smile shows up. “He really is an idiot.” “Yes, yes he is.” #despotinchief #MAGA #rfk #fda […]

Those who are stuck with iOS 26 but dislike the new display weirdness may find some relief with: Settings->Accessibility->Display & Text Size->Reduce Transparency

I guess dealers will need to come up with colorful street names for Tylenol and common vaccines soon.

In case of #rapture, this #waymo will be unmanned.

The continued obstinance of #sinclair and #nexstar, even as Kimmel’s show resumes, is a strong signal that consuming television over broadcast is no longer a good way to consume programming. Time for a shift to streaming sources or torrents! Further support comes from insanity of #drm in the […]

I really smiled when I saw that #carrot was aware of today’s apparent #rapture!

I have heard people getting denied for COVID vaccines because they don't have a health condition. Let this trans person teach y'all cis something: It is always ethical to lie to gatekeepers preventing you from getting the healthcare you need. Spin whatever narrative you need to in order to fit […]

OMG!!! A BOMBSHELL!! Rejoice! We can be free of Autism!! Who knew that vitamin B9 (Leucovorin) held the key that’s eluded us for generations?! Our savior, RFK, and his grand wizards at #hhs, #nih, #fda, and #cdc have given us a special gift today. I’m overjoyed. I’ve messaged all our docs to […]

@ivory On no!! I’m sad. I had several tag based lists. But I’m noticing, after switching to a new phone, they’re all gone. Sigh. I wonder if there’s a chance we might see such lists at least sync to iCloud so settings are preserved in such situations, or to support using clients on multiple […]

Is anyone else running iOS 26 on iPhone 17 getting these phantom passcode changed messages on the lock screen? I’ve logged a feedback for it but it does seem weird. #ios26 #iphone17 #lockscreen #bug

Starting today I'm going to become more aggressive about supporting independent media and journalism. I'm not wealthy enough to make a big difference on my own but I think this is something that could have an impact if enough people with a little handful of disposable income and deep concerns […]

Me: “I don’t think I have autism.” Also me: *info dumping unprompted about the international differences and history of a specific genre of television*

😳 When Karl Rove stands up to he the voice of reason about what is too divisive in our country, the shIt has really hit the fan. 🤣 https://www.alternet.org/karl-rove-trump-kirk/ #uspol #karlrove #MAGA #division #freespeech

I have to admit I’m super impressed with this #iPhone 17 Pro. Not rounded edges but softened to be comfortable. Noticeably #lighter. More #comfortable to hold. Nice brushed finish on back and doesn’t feel slippery to me. But most of all I can’t feel the edges/transition between glass and metal […]

Got my #covid vax Wednesday. The #rfk mess at #hhs, affecting #cdc, #fda, and #nih, left me feeling really unsure. When I was quizzed about my frailties, never was I more glad to be #diabetic. Thankfully all it took was parental directive to get my son’s protection boosted. I was surprised when […]

I read so much about protecting children online. The rise of age verification. Communication safety settings. Content safety filters. None of that stopped my 12 year old from being influenced by values-coded hate groups online. I support his spiritual journey. I wish it hadn’t been bundled with […]

I deselect ABCand Walt Disney companies and products from my devices until they stop the McCarthyism. #freespeach #democracy #mccarthyism #fascism #abc #disney https://ground.news/article/abc-pulls-jimmy-kimmel-live-off-air-indefintely-over-charlie-kirk-comments_5d53ef

It would be disturbing enough if Kimmel's show had been pulled (at the FCC's behest, no less) for speaking ill of Charlie Kirk. But the monologue wasn't even about Kirk. It was about the hypocrisy and opportunism of those using Kirk's murder to advance a right-wing narrative. Comedy can be a […]

Me: why is everything so dusty? People who can adult: you have to dust. Me: what, like annually? Adults: no, more like weekly. Me: that can’t be right.

Damn. It’s going to be one of those mornings… #iphonepreorder #iPhone #applestore
