25 Hours. For 25 hours, Senator Cory Booker stood on the Senate floor and spoke from his heart about what is happening in our country today. As he said, this is not a right or left issue, it's about what's right or wrong. Reminding all about the late, great civil rights legend John Lewis... 1/2

Susan Crawford wins the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, according to many election analysts. This after Elon Musk and others poured millions into anti-transgender advertisements in the state. The anti-trans panic failed in Wisconsin. This is a major victory for LGBTQ+ people in the state.

yall we can’t collectively screech that “no one’s doing anything!” and then say “no not like that” when someone actually does something. is Booker’s filibuster gonna save the world? of course not. but since courage begets courage it could lead to more. I’m fucking cynical as hell but come on.

According to @hunterw.bsky.social, Cory Booker is now cutting into the Senate's schedule for today, meaning it's not just a performance, it's an actual act of obstruction and resistance. This is the kind of leadership we need!

One bright side to being forced to live in an AI slop tornado is now I see my artistic mistakes as incredibly endearing. The human machine of my body made that weird line. My worst day of drawing is completely untouchably better than anything AI will ever produce until the heat death of the universe

The FURRIES Act is a new moral panic bill currently working its way through the Texas legislature could be used to shut down D&D clubs, ban cat-ear headbands, and slap abuse claims on educators who integrate roleplaying into their curriculum. What is "non-human behavior" anyway?

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at. A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth. HAIRCUTS. This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.

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
