In the spirit of trans visibility, lemme just plug my ongoing project to document as many pre-2010 games as possible that had a trans person on the dev team. You might be surprised by what's on there. There's games going right back to the sixties!

alter the rules surrounding Canada's definition of the United States as a "safe third country" to make an allowance for LBGTQ+ American residents to file refugee claims to Canada for protection from imminent persecution and potential violence

An IT Specialist. Not supposed to be in combat. A reservist on active duty only to do IT things. Trumps son won't serve. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZ1Z...
We need better Democrats.
Not a single dollar more for Trump’s illegal war.
This needs to be shared constantly, esp. among US citizens, and even more esp. among people who still side with this clowncar of fascism hell-bent on destroying the planet and everyone on it just so one senile narcissistic piece of human garbage avoids prison.

And Congress--ALL OF YOU--do more and better for fuck's sake. Especially you cowards still covering for your orange fucktard. But also you go-along-get-along Dems.
GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER. PEOPLE ARE DYING AND YOU'RE LETTING ALL OF IT HAPPEN.
That arrogant orange fuck and his cronies don't give a shit who dies, or how many--if they can keep enriching themselves and for Trump in particular--staying out of fucking prison.
Trump would NUKE THE ENTIRE PLANET if it kept him outta jail.
He doesn't care. And he's getting away with ALL of it.
ALSO:
RELEASE THE FULL UNREDACTED EPSTEIN FILES
I DON'T GIVE A SHIT WHO'S IN THEM
THOSE GIRLS, THOSE SURVIVORS, NEED JUSTICE--WE ALL DO
So lemme get this straight. MAGA is rooting for complete regime change, and the death of the leader of a country that is:
- deeply unpopular with the majority of its citizens
- entrenched in religious ideology
- loaded w/ active protesting against said leadership
I mean, a little on the nose much?
It's important to recognise a story for what it is:
aftermath.site/xbox-sarah-bon...
I tend to just assume almost everyone in leadership at Xbox is incompetent. So while I assume Sarah Bond is bad, I think the idea of throwing her under the bus while Phil Spencer gets off scot-free and Matt Booty fails upward is very dumb.
Aspiring to defraud the United States. Pressuring officials to violate their duty. Corruptly impeding an official proceeding. Aiding, abetting and assisting in an insurrection. Conspiring to subvert and overturn a fair election. Seditious conspiracy. Theft of secret classified documents.
EPSTEIN!
Hol' up. We can create a universal-registration system for Selective Service (starts December, this year), to send poor kids to die as fodder in random "wars", but we can't create a similar system for, let's say...voting?
I don't necessarily want federally-controlled voting, but wow, priorities. :|
Pretty impressive.

ICE agents chase children who were waiting at a bus stop for an elementary school
These are elementary school-age children running from adult federal agents attempting to kidnap them
NEW: Indigenous activists erected multiple tipis at Coldwater Spring outside Fort Snelling and near the Whipple Federal Building -- headquarters of ICE's Operation Metro Surge -- establishing an occupation demanding 'land back' in the form of “returning Fort Snelling” to the Dakota people. [Video]
Is the Alexa+ that Amazon Prime members get... as good as it gets? It's LAUGHABLY bad. NO ONE should ever pay for that garbage. Don't even use it for FREE with Prime--it's a joke. It's worse than Rufus & that's saying something (tho they keep moving features away from Rufus to Alexa+, too). Garbage.
When the CIA did this to the Senate it was one of the biggest intel scandals of the 21st century. But here it’s not just a huge scandal, it’s dumb: Pam Bondi is so bad at her job she brought the evidence herself to an open congressional hearing. www.theguardian.com/world/2014/j...
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
Kristi Noem has to go.
Gregory Bovino has to go.
Stephen Miller has to go.
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...
photo of Pam Bondi testifying in the foreground as a group of 7 women and 1 men raise their hands
Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground
AOC: We all saw the performance Bondi had. She was screaming and crashing, and I think it’s because she knows she is implicated in a massive cover-up to protect a ring of pedophiles through:
