When I see people talking about “cissexual privilege,” all I can see is a reprisal of the old debate about the “privilege of the closet” in gay circles. It’s the same shit, which has already been rightly rejected by most of the community and queer culture.

Let me translate this out of legalese for you: Dudek is too busy destroying the Social Security Administration to appear in court to answer questions about his unlawful destruction of the Social Security Administration.

Today, I went to our Social Security Office to conduct Oversight and was denied access to meet with officials. Instead, we were given a generic phone number in another state and denied entry past the waiting room. Here’s what we found out ⬇️

Foreign Friends with Travel Plans to the U.S. for Conventions: A bit back I said you should maybe reconsider those plans. I would like to amend my prior statement. Cancel them. Cancel them now. We cannot keep you safe from our own government. Take your holiday in Spain or something.

Just so you’re aware, if you wear glasses, that’s a mobility aid and you’re disabled. Glasses are just so normalized that most people don’t see it as such. Imagine if most mobility aids were that way. Imagine how much more respect disabled people would get. It’s completely possible.

Catmat! catmat! catmat! 🐈 I decided to design a play mat for myself for when I play the card game! I collect cat pokemon, so I wanted it to be cat themed! Alas, I could not fit every cat Pokémon into this idea, but the others are just as loved! 💕 #aeroart #art #cafedot #pokemonart #illustration

This is really important: If you rely on SSDI or SSI, think carefully about what you're going to do to protect your financial safety before you publicly engage in protest We should expect the possibility the Regime punishes some current beneficiaries who show up at FOs to protest

NZ is implementing "severe restrictions" on puberty blockers because they are being taken by 140 people. That's 0.000023% of the population. That's fucking insane.

This fundraiser is only $5.5k from meeting its goal to support Tinu's surviving family. I know it's tough out there right now because people have a lot of urgent needs. Pick someone to help. Even if it isn't Tinu's family. Pick someone and help them get by.

Here we go again… Texas mask ban in the works. Masks should never be criminalized. They’re an essential public health tool. They allow disabled people to safely access public spaces. Mask bans disproportionately harm the disabled, marginalized & people of colour. See below for ways to fight back

I always knew conceptually how my family was sent to their death in the Holocaust by friends and countrymen capitulating. But watching it happen in real time so quickly, so easily, with twisted justification and hand waving is putting a whole new spin on understanding the horror they must have felt.

Anil Dash has written about how dangerous this actually is. Folks are using Substack branding for their own work and they’re paying SS 10 percent for the pleasure. It’s really fucking weird when you stop and think about it. www.anildash.com//2024/11/19/...

This i didn’t know. SS has convinced everyone they’re the only game in town and people have fallen for it because they like the Notes and Live features. It’s a closed social media app. A walled in Nazi garden and left-leaning journalists are hanging out there asking their readers for Nazi tithes.

Here is the co-founder of Substack blaming its users for seeing Nazis on the platform and then trying to deflect from the fact that Substack revenue shares with Nazis by saying he encounters more extremism here on Bluesky (which doesn't revenue share with Nazis). This is I ndefensible.

Stop using AI. Yes, even just for fun. AI is built on STOLEN images and text. That’s right: by using it, you’re stealing from your friends. There is NOT ethical generative AI. Bonus bullshit: it is HORRENOUS for the environment. (Yes, even the cutesy profile photo cartoon things.)

Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts — likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating “your parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.

I think people like working. As long as you make the definition of that “performing tasks to achieve a goal”. Running is working, knitting is working, drawing is working. What people don’t like so much is working beyond reasonable capacity and getting inadequate feedback.

The threads on here are amazing, the "treaty-treats" line is now being used less to criticize people whose biggest issue is "my preferred snack has supply shortages" and now is being used by those same people to argue against an increase to Social Security for the year It's baffling
