This Canadian woman’s story with ICE reads like a horror novella. ICE cannot be allowed to continue these inhumane and illegal detentions. tRump, muskRat, dunce and every other politician and billionaire need to be imprisoned in their own detention centers then deported. #DemVoice1

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

We simply can’t believe a word they say. Don’t forget that Musk’s Starlink was under investigation by USAID. He had motive to shut it down, and that had nothing at all to do with ‘waste.’

This seems like a totally normal and not at all sinister thing for a government to do. 🙃

I don’t like to be outspoken politically. Gronp doesn’t like to be political. But today’s news reminds us that this is still in LIVING MEMORY www.amazon.ca/They-Called-... @startrekshitposti.ng

Feeding your neighbor wasn’t political until denying food to the hungry was made political policy.

Really proud of this song, it’s my favourite from the new album.

so hey, not to be That Guy, but remember how SFF fans called for a boycott of Chengdu Worldcon on the basis of the CCP’s actions in Xinjiang and China potentially not being safe for certain authors? are we going to have a similar discussion about Seattle Worldcon given the circumstances, or -?

Wanna support some #lgbtq artists? My band dropped the first single off our debut album today. One third of the band is trans, our vocalist is a drag queen, and the song is about anti-depressants. You can listen to Escita by Gloria&Gentz wherever you stream music! 💛 distrokid.com/hyperfollow/...

This, from @clintsmithiii.bsky.social, has been on my mind today.

Trump's promised executive order against "gender ideology" is ugly and dangerous, and also, like everything with Trump, contains few specifics and is meant to terrify people into self-repression. Here's my attempt to refocus on the fight ahead:

I did this the last time the Tangerine Shitgoblin took office. It offended many, many horrible people… including David Duke, who was so mad, he Tweeted about it 3 times in 24 hours. I’m currently working on a new version.

Indeed, how awful, you walk into a church and are forced to sit through a sermon about *check’s notes* mercy on the marginalised. What’s next? Christian charity? Love thy neighbour?? It’s woke, I tell you. Woke!!

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic. (posting in 3 parts due to Bluesky's 1 minute limit)

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance. Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

I drew this picture of @jerilryan.bsky.social as #SevenOfNine back in 2017. I updated it for 2025.

An executive order can create oppression. It cannot erase who you truly are. But, goddamn those who are trying to do just that. #transrights

Can’t even be sure it’s satire. I mean, it’s the Onion, so probability is high, but also it’s Trump, so…

If you're quiet about your disabilities, you get accused of being a fake. If you're outspoken, you get accused of being attention seeking. Disabled people deserve to be believed and supported without hate. We deserve to be able to thrive.
