As someone who works in the tech industry--absolutely. They are testing the waters. These are top-down orders. The ONLY way to stop it is a visceral negative reaction. Write articles. Post your rage. Email. Post. @. All those things. Only you have the power to kill it.

Observing international politics in 2025 feels like watching Godzilla destroying downtown safely from a helicopter just as the low fuel light starts blinking...

"Porn bans" ALWAYS lead to trans bans Michigan bill seeks to lock up trans people for posting selfies.

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

The oldest trick in the white supremacist book is to paint non-white men as dangerous to white women. It's literally a KKK thing.

Speaking on this; there's a tumblr post that PERFECTLY explains why TERFs have 'so much reach', and folk need to see it. Stop engaging with TERFS, block them, and get them offline. Likewise, report *their* harmful comments. Organise and be smart.

GREAT JOB REACHING WEEK 4 GUYS!!! KEEP CALLING

The White House's memes about imprisonment, deportation, and death by alligator are designed to radicalize and desensitize. “What you have is this desire to get people to buy into the fun of sadism,” says Jason Stanley, an author who’s leaving the US because of “concerns over fascism.”

What do you mean it was all just about control, privacy violation and a homo/transphobic witch hunt?

conservatives/republicans going full on fascist with occupying cities with the military is yet another reminder to NEVER TAKE CONSERVATISM SERIOUSLY. THEIR CRITICISMS AREN'T REAL. YOU CAN'T MEET THEM HALF WAY. THEY AREN'T A SERIOUS IDEOLOGY. THEY CAN ONLY BE CRUSHED, NOT DEBATED. thank you.

have some good news

This statement means more calling. Today my rep said there aren't restrictions on LGBTQ content. Curiously when I asked about adult content, they said my assumption that it's not supported at all was incorrect. I finally had to relent to email so we wait. 1-888-926-2289 Say you're from California.

Feels like "payment processor Stripe admits to being an anti LGBTQ hate group" should be an actual headline somewhere.

This sounds going viral here’s the original Sinéad O’Connor performance

Gotta say, Stripe customer service just straight up saying "we don't support the sale of any LGBT content" was not on my bingo card for this campaign. Hopefully this will be getting lots of attention from all over soon! Tell any journalists and rights orgs you know about it today!

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity. "What service is Microsoft providing?" Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

Just a reminder that if you're working on the HBO Harry Potter show, or the audiobook, or making/buying licensed Harry Potter products, or covering *any* of the previously noted without mentioning JK Rowling's virulent and non-stop transphobia, this is what you're supporting:

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them, and losing them money. Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.

This is why it's so important that we keep the pressure on. What we lack in money and powerful friends we make up for in our numbers and loudness. They want everything so we must give them nothing now.

“It’s not a coincidence that this resurgence of housewife iconography comes at the same time abortion rights have been stripped. What better way to quiet the next generation of girls, growing up without repro rights, than to tell them it’s actually progress? They’re making sexism aspirational.”

Mary Shelley doesn't get enough credit for not only anticipating the silver-spooned narcissist techbro who recklessly creates technology without thinking through the consequences, but also for knowing that said techbro would be an absolutely terrible father.

James Baldwin was born August 2, 1924 in Harlem.
