Will you join us, California? #50501 šŸšØVIOLENCE OF ANY KIND WILL NOT BE TOLERATEDšŸšØ

Weird how not a single one of the newspapers and magazines that have been breathlessly churning out "cancel culture" thinkpieces for the past four years have managed to use the word "censorship" at all to describe the most rapid and comprehensive campaign of mass-censorship in recent US history.

Of all the things so far, the shutting down of PREP worldwide today (PEPFAR) could be the most catastrophic.

@asukafield.xyz wondering why bsky.app/profile/brow... is on your list? I keep seeing content thatā€™s just non trans liberal content that has a warning?

Your reminder that bathroom policing doesnā€™t just hurt trans people. The rush is to everyone who donā€™t conform to gender expectations which will be even worse for BIPOC people (who are often accused of not conforming to (white) gender)

Psst, donā€™t organise resistance to fascism via social media. It is easily manipulated, tracked, and infiltrated. It is mostly in public. What you are doing is not something you want to be doing in public under the coming conditions. Find a backroom somewhere and write as little down as possible.

Whatever one thinks of the TikTok ban, this is pure authoritarianism: 1. The Leader suspends a law he has no legal power to suspend. 2. The Leader orchestrates new ownership of a major media platform he will now control. 3. The major media platform commits to be a mouthpiece uplifting the Leader.

I love free speech

Under Metaā€™s new content moderation policy, certain online attacks are banned *unless* the target is LGBTQ, in which case the attacks are allowed. Yes you read that right: Thereā€™s a queer exception to Metaā€™s restrictions on attacks on people, specifically: šŸ§µ

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

SCOOP: Instagram blocked teens from searching LGBTQ-related content for months. Posts with LGBTQ+ hashtags were hidden under Meta's ā€œsensitive contentā€ policy which restricts "sexually suggestive content", Meta said they are fixing this ā€œerrorā€ after I reached out for comment.

Jimmy Carter: Trump "was put into office because the Russians interfered on his behalf."

Why would he sign this?

They want your money when convenient. Your silence when not
