BREAKING: The Supreme Court has blocked the Trump administration from deporting foreign nationals under the Alien Enemies Act. Thomas, Alito dissent.

BREAKING: A federal judge finds Trump’s order banning transgender people from getting accurate passports is likely unconstitutional. The court ordered the State Department to allow correct gender markers for our clients as we continue to argue until this order is blocked for everyone.

✨We plaintiffs won an injunction✨ It’s hard to put this feeling into words - but soon I’ll (hopefully) have an accurate passport, access to care abroad, and get to hug my family in Canada. This fight hasn’t been easy, but we’re still here - and trans joy is unstoppable.

If ghosts were real, the shade of Eunice Kennedy Shriver, who founded the Special Olympics, would haunt her eugenicist nephew RFK Jr and curse him to hell and beyond

the entirety of Reboot is on Prime Video, as much as I love me so hard copies, nostalgically, this is hard to ignore

Sometimes I look at a UI and I'm like, damn, no wonder so many software nerds think that AI art looks good. They have no eye for design or aesthetics whatsoever.

I always think of this post when I think about "autism is new" bullshit

BREAKING: The Ninth Circuit denies DOJ's request to allow the Trump admin to end protected status for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans in the U.S. while litigation continues. A district court had blocked the administration's effort to end the relevant TPS action in a stark opinion in March.

NEW: The Trump administration and DOGE tried to cut more than 1,400 employees at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). An employee union and other groups are fighting to keep the regulator intact.

Judge pauses mass firing of consumer protection workers

Pascal about JK Rowling and the anti trans law on UK: ‘I can't think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorizing the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist’

One of the 40 year into the job guys at my job just changed the TV in the break room from financial news to Spongebob

Cis allies loudly declaring support also helps push back on one of the main goals of the anti trans movement, convincing the world that hating trans people is Normal Every random cis person going "well duh i'm chill with trans people who isn't" means that idea can't spread

the kitchen is undefeated when u need to go look at three incorrect clocks at the same time

Makes me think of the joke that we should have one average person compete in each Olympic event just to give perspective.

It's really annoying when you start watching someone, and then have to immediately unfollow when they start plugging generative AI. No, "I needed it for some establishing shots because I couldn't bring my drone" does not wash as an excuse for me.

You know what else was a big part of my childhood? The threat of quicksand

I fucking love Star Trek but if someone started directly funneling the profits from the Star Trek franchise into destroying a vulnerable minority for the sake of their own bigotry I would chuck Star Trek out the window in a heartbeat. So if you can't let go of Harry Potter, you got a *problem.*

The interesting story of the WinRing0 driver, which somehow involves EVGA keeping fan control working for everyone: www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_O5...

"Why can't you separate the art from the artist" BECAUSE THE ARTIST IS *DIRECTLY* USING THE PROFITS FROM THE ART TO LEGALIZE BIGOTRY YOU ABSOLUTE CLUMP

I'm doing this, everyone should too

I don’t wanna

RFK Jr. paints autism in a apocalyptic colors. As an #ActuallyAutistic journalist who has spent the last decade writing about autism, I had to confront him about it. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

But they... That's not... You're not supposed to... Trans kids can't even... And so many autistic people are... C'MON WHAT THE FUCK ALREADY IS THIS HELL OR ARE WE ALIVE ON EARTH OR www.theamericansaga.com/p/rfk-jr-tap...

This description describes my son, who has a very rare genetic disorder. He is also a very happy human being who deserves a full and stimulating life. Not institutionalized and hidden away from society. Or declared a burden on society and disposed of.

Made this for when someone with a Studio Ghiblified profile photo starts bitching at you

Gimme gimme

Don’t buy that fucking Hogwarts game, don’t watch that new Harry Potter show. I have been repeating this for years, any money that goes into JK Rowling’s pockets is going to be used against trans people. She financially backed the BS ruling that came out of the UK supreme court today.

“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.” — Seth Rogen’s censored remarks presenting the Breakthrough Prize

Hong Kong suspends postal service for good bound for US This is absolutely devastating

Department of Energy is indeed sending out notices to universities cancelling all of our grants unless the university agrees to a 15% rate cap.

Sorry I yelled ‘FINISH HIM’ at your son’s spelling bee
