Notice how in the US no one is talking about the Epstein files now.... hmm...

Anything to get the public's mind away from the Epstein files. Even if it means CK as sacrificial lamb. I bet even if they find this guy it's going to just be another "person of interest" not the shooter.

It's just queer rage all day long with me these days. It flips back & forth between Teresa Guidice Table flipping rage and HotHead Paisan rage.

Ahead of Budapest Pride, EFF and 46 Organizations Call on European Commission to Defend Fundamental Rights in Hungary This week, EFF joined EDRi and nearly 50 civil society organizations urging the European Commission’s President Ursula von der Leyen, Executive Vice President Henna Virkunnen, and Commissioners Michae...

With Budapest Pride just two days away, Hungary has criminalized Pride marches and is planning to deploy real-time facial recognition technology to identify those participating in the event. The EU must defend fundamental human rights.

You too Stanford, really? Complying in advance. Way to go cowards.

I refuse to talk or interact with anyone Diamanda Galas would shoot.

Time for Meidung- Social Shunning of those who do not actively oppose Trump. I will do my best to not associate with, aid, or do any business with, those who support Trump.

I kind of want to go

Went to Oakland Hands Off at last minute. there are people everywhere, even "small" events at places like El Sobrante. Media is, of course under reporting "filing the streets in several cities" really "several cities". Ha ha ha.

"...People's Balls" So is the subtext here that Kelly understands that there there are folx other than CIS males who may have testicles? I mean is this a case of 3 steps back one step forward in her (no doubt really limited) understanding of Gender?"

A college of Vinyl LPs and CDs by female musicians including Grace Jones, Wendy O' Williams, Gossip, Dusty Springfield and Wendy Carlos.

My most recent show on KALX 90.7 FM in honor of Women's History Month. You have less than two weeks befor it goes away. I just barely scratched the surface. #womeninmusic #womeninrock #angrywomen #kalxradio #dj_donut_monoxide bit.ly/WomensMusicE...

Did you read about Hungary? Pride Parades are illegal now and they use facial recognition software to identify participants and spectators. In Iran, drones and AI to find Women not wearing Hijab outdoors.

Indeed. And in terms of the Internment camps. They interred American Citizens; both those who were naturalized and those born on American soil. There were babies born in the camps. They were kept in there too.

An oblong table with table cloth with objects placed upon it. Objects include tulips, Eggs, Apples, candles, wheat sprouts, Sumac and sweets. A mirror is in back of the table. This arrangement is known as a Haft Seen, and is part of Nowruz, or Persian New Year celebrations.

In spite of it all, Spring Comes & it is a New Year. Below is the Berkeley Persian Center's Haft Seen, a table/altar with objects symbolizing the New Year. Not Persian myself, but all our ancestors commemorated the Equinox. Let us keep going. Nowruz Mubarak!

What is the most important thing ordinary citizens can do right now to deal with this?

A sort of corollary - "call your district representatives now to voice your displeasure" Like b/c I'm in a Blue state I'm not supposed to call people who were elected in "red" states. F-no, you have have life and death power over people I don't care what freaking district elected you.

Ugh I don't want to think of that, but I can see it now "well, at least if we vote yes we may be Able to carve out exceptions for the life of the mother or have the ban start at 8 weeks instead of 6". It's like they're waiting for a bigger, easier battle. It just gets harder and harder. Seriously.

I'm an American, I fully support this. Domestically more and more us are buying less and less, and we're skipping Target, Walmart, Amazon et al. Every little bit helps.

Vote No on Cloture. Do not surrender!!!

With a little effort we can get it even lower!!!!

They won't stop at people with green cards. They'll go after citizens next. If they could do that to Japanese-American citizens during WWII, think of what they will do now.

We like it, and we LOVE you, Roselit Bone!!!!

I cannot complete disengage from Amazon. After a hellish search years ago I finally was able to enroll in a medical group that could help me & my dependents. A few years ago it was bought by Amazon. Also, as a sysadmin, Amazon cloud is everywhere. We need non Amazon/google/meta/microsoft cloud.

Let's not forget how Japanese Americans including citizens were put into camps.

Rule #1. Do not attempt to 'splain' the Holocaust to a descendant of a camp survivor.

"By Thursday afternoon, the word “transgender” had been removed, along with the letter “T” from the community acronym. By the evening, the word “queer” and “Q+” had also been deleted." Don't think they'll stop there. They won't.

My Cheap but sincere valentine.... Let me be the Err to your Ignignokt.... Happy Valentine's Day!!!

I recently saw a well known queer activist quote Maria Von Trapp in some anti-nazi quote. Said queer activist doesn't realize that the Von Trapp Family were in fact anti-semitic fascists themselves; they were Austrofascists. I am disappointed when folxs on the "same side" are so sloppy.

The they used populist appeal to get where they want to be. They don't actually care about their voters.
