This goddamnit

YouTube quietly removed “gender identity” from its hate speech policy, @taylorlorenz.bsky.social reports. This is a major radical shift away from best practices in the field of trust and safety and content moderation — and will harm creators and users alike.

Jewish students at Columbia have chained themselves to a gate (already locked) to protest ICE detentions of student protestors. They accuse members of our board of trustees of providing information about students to ICE and are demanding accountability.

i feel so so so seen rn.

STFUF 👏- the police and ICE are already surveilling and collecting large amounts of data on everyone. Don’t help them.

It is not normal for civil rights to be revoked in response to protest. Mahmoud Khalil is the definition of a political prisoner. Also, his wife is 8 months pregnant, and it would be great if she didn't have to give birth without him. actionnetwork.org/letters/dema...

Today, people will demonstrate in solidarity with Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist at Columbia University. DHS has kidnapped him and revoked his green card. Some demonstrators will be distributing this flier. You can print out copies here yourself: crimethinc.com/zines/rememb... Resist.

“We just want peace.” For two years, the pacifist community of Awra Amba has been caught up in a war raging between Fano fighters and Ethiopian federal government soldiers ⤵️

I'm a proud mother. Whether I'm walking my son to school or reading him a bedtime story, I do everything to make sure he grows up loved and cared for. And for the sponsor of the drag ban to say that my existence is a fetish is false & cruel. I'm glad we were able to defeat this hateful bill today.

forever and always nobody talks

CNN [Mar 3] -- Senate Dems don't drop a single vote as they filibuster Rep anti-trans sports bill on a party line vote: 51-45 (60 needed to pass). Dems only lost 3 in earlier House vote. Sports is the best issue for Reps with nearly 2/3 of voters supporting. Go Dems! [@rikiwilchins.bsky.social‬]

1. Happening now, the United States Senate is considering S9, a bill that would ban transgender people from playing sports of their gender identity from chess to darts and everything in between. It could result in genital exams and more. I'm covering live. Watch: www.senate.gov/legislative/...

Baldwin: "This bill sends a message that certain kids are not welcome in little league. That some kids are not welcome in their school at all. What a heartbreaking message to a child. No American should be demonized and picked on so that politicians can win elections."

just wanna remind everyone that if trans and queer youth hadn't spoken out over the last several years, terrible legislation like the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) would currently be in effect, and the Trump administration would be actively weaponizing it for censorship. the work we do matters.

If you're catching up, read this piece I helped write that includes direct quotes from LGBTQ youth about how legislation like KOSA would make them less safe: www.them.us/story/kids-o...

I have never yearned for anything in my life as much as “centrist” democrats yearn to throw Trans people under the bus.

This is outrageously unsafe for trans people but it's also unsafe for everyone else too You should be allowed to use a nickname for a touch of anonymity while you do statistically dangerous jobs like this

The thing about Trump and Elon is that they're systemically alienating everyone in the country because everyone hates their actual policies but two of the their biggest supporters are the "liberal" media and the Democratic Party Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Against us is the entire weight of the American state, the most powerful army and largest police force the world has ever seen, and the collective might of the world's ruling class. On our side however is that all of those forces are being ran by Donald Trump Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

At the end of the Revolutions Podcast @mikeduncan.bsky.social theorized that revolutions hinged on the Great Idiots of History, men holding the levers of power who make EXACLTY the wrong decision at every turn and on those mistakes hangs the fate of revolutions Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

If Carville didn’t have that cornpone affectation, people might notice that the Bayou Boy lives in Northern Virginia and hasn’t been right about anything since 1992.

A poll of swing-district voters is already showing heaps of warning signs for Republicans bent on helping billionaires. That was fast.

❤️‍🔥 In an incredible legal victory for animal rights activists and a stunning rebuke of the State’s (Multnomah County District Attorneys) willingness to grossly overcharge, CLDC is thrilled to share the resounding trial win for our client who was acquitted of all charges today!

Jeremy Gates, the executive director of White Bird Clinic, has left his role after more than two years. It comes as the clinic has reported financial issues, and it follows the controversial closure of the Front Rooms program last year. www.klcc.org/housing-home...
