A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Imagine that the five most overconfident boys at your local high school, who learned how to use a hammer last semester, are planning to tear down your entire city and rebuild it from scratch using guidance from a Speak and Spell

If you don’t think this administration is so incompetent or callous as not to do this, you haven’t been paying attention.

In this current harsh world, let's warm a few hearts remembering the events of 7-8 March 1991, when the 90,000 people of Brindisi woke up to find 25,000 Albanians roaming the streets of their town. For perspective, that's roughly equivalent to 25k people suddenly landing in Hastings [Thread] >> 1

@aoc.bsky.social You all should do something to get "censured" once or twice a week. Waste all the house floor time on that. Suck the oxygen out of the news cycle. Make it a different person every time.

Tbh I think this bit is maybe one of the most important bits of information that has surfaced on the «DOGE» project: That Elon described it in 👉2023👈 as a way to destroy the federal «bureaucracy» (ie the institutions of the federal government).

1. Nearly a century ago, Nazis burned trans books to usher in fascism. Now, Trump is doing the same, digitally burning all records of transgender people and striking the community from records. This must be seen for what it is: a move towards atrocity. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Unison is the largest women’s organization in the UK. It has a million women members. The Unison women’s conference just voted for a motion that said; “trans women are women and trans men are men” with no-one speaking against it. Transphobia is a top-down, elite practice.

and if elected, my fellow Americans, I will end DOGE's reign of terror and replace it with a new agency: the Government Oversight And Transparency Services Executive

PC culture, virtue signaling, etc, is really just "woke bike shedding". I think "bike shedding" is actually a better term than "virtue signaling". It's not that what you're doing is wrong or doesn't need to be done. But we should redirect our energy into more important but harder problems.

Why aren't the democrats campaigning for OTC HRT? It's even kind of catchy! OTC HRT. Medical diagnosis = insurance pay please! (As in, you can just buy it, but if you have prescription then insurance should still have to cover it.)

Great news. A transgender woman will NOT be transferred to a men's prison facility and forcibly detransitioned, at least for now. Trump administration has been enjoined from doing so by a judge. First win in court, as the case continues.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

We’re building a new static type checker for Python, from scratch, in Rust. From a technical perspective, it’s probably our most ambitious project yet. We’re about 800 PRs deep!

Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO. No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids." Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false." It's a big step towards very bad things.

A reminder, lest we forget during the next 4+ years. * Trans rights are human rights * Black lives matter * No human is illegal * Love is love * Their body, their choice * Corporations aren't people * LLMs are plagiarism * Science is real * Kindness is everything * Rebellion is a moral imperative

I need a new mouse pad. Who sells cool mouse pads? I just got this clamp on mouse tray thing for my desk, and it's apparently made on ferris material is kind of rough. I'm finally trying to make use of my left handed vertical mouse!

Just saw a no-longer relevant evacuation notice on instagram from five hours ago and remembered — that’s right, due to hyper-monetization every major social network no longer shows you life-saving breaking news as it happens. They turned it over to an algorithm that finally noticed “he likes fire.”
