In 1938, the German Reich invalidated all German Jewish passports. They must surrender them, after which their ID will mark them as a Jew. In 2026, the state of Kansas invalidated all correct trans drivers licenses. They must surrender them, after which their ID will mark them as trans.

BAFTAS were pre-recorded. Despite that, BBC chose to: - Leave in the N-word shouted while Black men were on stage - Cut out homophobic slurs shouted by the same person - Cut out "Free Palestine" declared by a Black man on stage This is what white supremacy & genocide approval looks like. Reject it.

This is it. Way past time for everyone in this country - literally everyone - to find practical ways to support trans people and immigrants, this regime's primary targets. Starting right now, find something practical to do to actually help people.

A Dem that runs as pro trans gets a SIXTY ONE POINT BUMP WITH DEM VOTERS and a NINE POINT BUMP WITH INDIES over ones that go silent. The failure to get this is a prior beliefs/incentives problem but it's also a research problem. The current establishment's understanding of voters is utterly cooked.

And it seems as though they have decided to ruin people’s lives frankly to prove they could. They allied with the right to oppress a vulnerable minority group in order to prove that they could not be “canceled” for “just asking questions.”

I really hate anti-trans politicians, and I especially hate it because it was a culture war issue where we were clearly winning and then a bunch of nominally liberal people at the Times and the Atlantic decided to reverse that and they did.

MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. GO DONATE. tcpipeline.org

people wondering "how we got here" consider John Yoo, who built the 'legal' framework for George W Bush's torture program, the Emanuel S. Heller Professor of Law at Berkley University, is treated as a Respectable Source by the media when he should be rotting in prison for crimes against humanity

This is the second time a cop has charged with abusing ALPR data to stalk a former partner. (It is not the second time it has happened). FWIW: cops abusing data to stalk partners is one of the most common reasons they are arrested.

This is why people are so upset when people say Democrats need to stop focusing on trans issues because it's too woke and people aren't ready for it: we're not talking minor inconvenience here. We're not talking microaggressions We're talking: they are stripping IDs from trans people

The siege of Minnesota is very much on despite all the PR nonsense from the regime that elite media outlets kept pushing around. This is cruel - and we need Congressional Democrats on top of this. Imagine there will be litigation. Just as importantly there needs to be accountability.

This is extremely dangerous for those who use wish lists for organization & mutual aid. Please share far & wide.

this is not about sports, this is about erasing every trans person from public life and forcing them to detransition or worse, driven by people who would prefer the latter this is what every “just asking questions” or “just following the science” concern troll leads to

vindictive, vicious cruelty designed to humiliate and criminalize every trans person in kansas horrifying fascist shit reminiscent of the runup to the literal holocaust

The thing about Bill Gates confessing, publicly, to pedophilia is that if a *normal* person did that, they'd experience immediate consequences. They'd be arrested immediately for doing so. It reminds me of how in the US self-defense is an affirmative defense: it is saying "I did it, but ___"

The media should cover this as murder because it is.

SpaceX's 1 million AI satellites could cause "massive ozone depletion" and change the night sky forever - but the FCC has no requirement to check before approving them. Astronomers are now scrambling to submit their concerns. Story by me in New Scientist www.newscientist.com/article/2516...

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays

America's long commitment to the soft eugenics of allowing the system to do the killing of undesirables is fast accelerating into a Nazi-era program of hard eugenics, in which the state directly enacts mass death against those it considers unproductive/undesirable.

Once again reminding folks to be careful about what blocking lists you subscribe to. While there are some well-run ones, I have also noticed an increase in this function being used maliciously to mislabel accounts in an attempt to limit their reach. Recommend vetting lists carefully before using.

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school. They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

Unfortunately the reality is that cops have a history of killing people by dropping them off in inhospitable places. In Canada it’s called a “starlight tour” when cops detain an Indigenous person and then drop them off miles from home in the wilderness, sometimes causing them to freeze to death

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

It's coming out BBC & BAFTA producers lied to everyone. They told both John Davidson and Warner Brothers they would edit any inappropriate language. They said they made announcements to all attendees before the incident which many attendees confirmed as false. This seems Orchestrated

Border Patrol’s practice of intentionally dumping people away from home and their social networks with no resources as a form of cruel punishment goes back decades. It’s part of CBP’s DNA. This is how folks in the 1950s described it:

Absolute fresh hell

Working in coordination with Adopt A Rent on standwithminnesota.com, I’m adopting rents for Minneapolis immigrant families in need. This family needs $1300 for rent. Can you help them stay housed? V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater Please share and give if you can! Thank you! 🌷

As Israel continues to murder at will in Gaza, Sama'a has two young girls to raise and feed amidst the chaos. Even a small donation helps. chuffed.org/project/157569

This is very good reporting that sheds light on just how small the extremely pro-Trump online right really is. The online right is totally astroturfed. The White House's own staffers are running meme accounts to make them look more popular than they are. www.wired.com/story/a-whit...

I'm old enough that I watched a healthy girl in my kindergarten class catch polio and was in a wheelchair by 1st grade and she died at 36. She cried all the time because she was in pain. When you die I'm gonna piss on your grave, Del.

They’re talking about banning ADHD meds now as well and I’ve seen a bunch of cis acquaintances who thought they were Normal because they didn’t have one of the Embarrassing disorders and weren’t trannies suddenly find out that it’s showtime for them too

btw for trans women to offer this kind of practical warning and sympathy is a serious mitzvah and we cis women really owe it to them (and to ourselves!) to step up our solidarity in kind

So the BBC promised Davidson and StudioCanal (who made I Swear) that any swearing tics would be edited out from broadcast, and instead they left them in despite a two hour delay, and even put a fucking microphone right in front of him to ensure they picked it up - he was sat at the back of room.

Again: Mamdani and AOC are the moderate liberals that the democratic ghouls and Vote Blue zombies believe the party is. The majority of the Democratic party, especially its central power structure, is just this capital-fellating grift machine designed to stop anything getting better.

help out Juniper if you can she is pretty and nice and takes good care of all the children

Brian is no longer receiving any food assistance and desperately needs your help

ACLU MN reported yesterday that the federal government filed sworn statements that there are 970 agents in Minnesota for Operation Metro Surge & that 407 agents will remain here in March. It’s important to note this is on top of the 190 agents that were already assigned before this surge started.

CALL YOUR CONGRESS PERSON NOW!!!!!! Tell them: — NO to KOSA — NO to Section 230 reform — NO to the SCREEN Act — NO to the App Store Accountability Act —NO age verification laws —NO to digital ID systems

Deep breaths. Remind yourself that the people who wrote the House and Senate versions of #KOSA fundamentally disagree. Further deep breaths. If you hate talking on the phone, write a script for yourself to read before you call.

Read this thread. This is why that taboo art you don't like needs to exist. Block it if it upsets you. Move on with your life. But dont destroy the safety nets and frameworks for actual victims that would come about by forcing everything right back into another Hays Code cuz you can't press a button

Repeatedly watching how she pulls the mic away when he speaks on private equity & I can't stop thinking about the way that our employment system forces people into craven cowards that have to do real-time self-preservation calculus that results in actions that conflict entirely with class solidarity

Operation Metro Surge may be off the front page, nationally, but ICE is still in Minnesota, and the need for financial support for affected families is urgent and ongoing.

One cool thing about unequivocally hating AI is that you will be proven right over and over again every single day

Institutional Pederasty Advocate Jesse Singal has been an instigator of a fascist desire to exterminate transsexuals, which intends to kill a million kids by sexually abusing them through the denial of medicine. Jesse Singal loves child sex abuse. He has dedicated his entire life to hurting children

Alabama wants to keep murdering Black men. Someone should stop them. By any means necessary.

Please help Ahmad's family survive Israel's genocide, which has left them starving & homeless in winter under renewed bombing. His mother needs urgent treatment for retinal disease. Bluesky keeps deleting him. Please help bring them some hope during Ramadan:

One of my least favorite things around AI in video games is when these LLM idiots try to say that "AI has been in video games for decades," as if the routines that tell ghosts to chase Pac-Man are exactly the same as the chat bot claiming there are nine Rs in strawberry.

I know the Jesse Singals of the world don't care about this hypocrisy, because they don't actually care about children's wellbeing. But it might be an interesting question to put to well-meaning parents who get caught up in the moral panic of it all.

But there's no moral panic around that, no pearl-clutching op-eds every month, no politicians pontificating, because...well, we know why.
