which is clearly the goal

more evil, hateful bullshit the “biological sex” thing is so annoying because it’s not just bigoted it’s also bad science. i am intersex and also physically transitioning, the fuck bathroom do i belong in. they mean sex assigned at birth, which is … based on a doctor just looking at the infant

A new era of government censorship has begun. It started with the silencing of scientific speech, when the admin blocked release of research on bird flu. But MAGA has also cracked down on other wrongthink—on race, geography (!), and of course Trump himself www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

ICE raided a home up the block from me last week. My neighbors had attended a community ICE watch training with @siembranc.bsky.social and did exactly what they'd learned: verified, challenged, and witnessed. truthout.org/articles/tru...

This sucks and is extremely dangerous in a moment when authoritarianism is rising worldwide www.bbc.com/news/article...

Big Tech is a huge problem. But gutting Section 230 will make Big Tech bigger and kill off alternatives like Bluesky and Mastodon. We're in the middle of a fascist coup but Senate Democrats are stuck on stupid on this issue. Call your Senators again and again until they get it BadInternetbills.com

“You’re just now realizing this?!” - a person who just realized this last week

i know it's not what this article is about but tbh i find it much more alarming that there are data brokers monitoring "foot traffic" in major retail stores and selling people's cell phone location data than that giant corporations are reducing the amount they pretend to care about "equity"

It’s time for the Milk Hotel to choose a side

go liz go!

k now we need Tom from Myspace to challenge Musk to a duel

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

NEW: Last year, @johnnyryan.bsky.social made a website for a fake company using a photo of Russian soldiers to purposely elicit suspicion. A US data broker offered him access to thousands of lists of American devices anyway. Many lists targeted US leaders and defense contractors. Our latest:

It’s hard to overstate how catastrophic the streaming / cloud-based / everything is licensed and nothing is owned media landscape is. Burning books was one thing, there were almost always other copies. Now Amazon can just delete a book from existence and erase the fact it ever existed

I talked with Live Like the World is Dying host @margaret.bsky.social about preparedness, collective survival, and challenging ourselves "to let people be better."

New and devastating reporting from my colleagues showing just how dangerous it has become to be pregnant and in Texas after the state banned abortion. Please read and share: www.propublica.org/article/texa...

Worker organizing is the way. Find ways to support workers who are fighting back.

There’s an active fascist takeover going on. Let’s check in with the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary committee to see how they’re resisting it. Oh… oh I see. They’re trying to blow up Section 230 and open the floodgates for Trump to censor the Internet. Inspiring!

i've been helping with this and want to know when i'll get my toaster

The good news is i saved you 60 billion dollars. The bad news is that is a typo i saved you 600 dollars and also your plane is falling out of the sky

Trump: "I am going to behead a pronoun-user on live TV" NYT: "Displaying a fondness for showmanship, Trump's decapitation antics raise eyebrows in Washington"

This argument makes sense unless you understand how social media platforms actually work. Everything is either algorithmically amplified or suppressed. Even "chronological order" is an algorithm. The way we address algorithmic harm is with privacy legislation, not Section 230 carveouts.

incredible exchange, @marisakabas.bsky.social

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

This is a good reminder that anytime you try to find some kind of 4D chess reason for what Musk does, the reality is much likelier that he is a complete idiot who has no idea how the world works, yet he is powerful and rich and wields near complete loyalty from others so he gets what he wants.

This is embarrassingly stupid. This is literally Senate Dems handing censorship power to Donald Trump and Elon Musk. WTF are they thinking?

Getting rid of 230 ensures Zuckerberg and musk’s dominance of social media is never threatened. Terrible for Bluesky and the fediverse

Your regular reminder that §230 protects YOU, the person reading this post, from being sued for reposting things just as much as it protects "Big Tech" from things that still wouldn't be a viable cause of action because your problem is not with §230, it's with the first amendment

🚨 Hey guys remember how I wrote a whole article about how P25 wants to use this to gut the queer internet? Yeah, the Dems are helping them marching it in the door. This is where the trans internet could very well die.
