as one of the people on a patient advocacy sub doing this work, hi, I agree. I do not expect every person to have the slightest clue as to how to figure this stuff out. that should be what their doctors are for, but a lot of doctors don't know shit and are bigots, and even good ones are constrained.
If ANYONE tries to DM you like this, even if they're a friend, there's a chance they've been hacked. It's a good idea to message them somewhere else - in my case, I DMed this person on TikTok cuz I follow them there - to check.
Spoilers, said friend said it wasn't them!
This 50 yr old woman spent 5 months in jail accused of a crime in a state she's never even been to, because Clearview AI misidentified her as the suspect.

Art by flaroh illustration. March's illustration is of Artemis with her hounds in an ornate portrait scene. Ribbons embellish her bow, arrow, and dog's collars, and she wears a thin scarf at her neck, all of which blow away from the direction of the arrow's path. The palette is almost entirely blue, apart from her skin and the dog's collars, which are all peach.

illustrated cover of a black and white zine. A man holds up a sign reading "Everyday" and a woman holds up a sign reading "Resistance" underneath.
"Everyday Resistance" is an updated zine for #NoKings3! It gives tips and ideas of things everyone can do, from starting a Visibility Brigade on an overpass, to folding zines, to talking with your neighbors about the state of things.

Saturday will be a good day to go out and recruit people in your town or city to join whatever you have going on. Bring your one pagers or zines and hand them out.
No. The number of attorneys I’ve known who checked in with paralegals before heading to court is none out of dozens. Not the paralegals fault—they likely weren’t consulted.
Mr Coyne: Good morning, your honor. Supervisory Assistant Mark Coyne also appearing for the United States. The Court: Mr. Coyne, did you file a notice of appeararance in this case? Mr. Coyne: I did not. The Court: Are you here for moral support? Because you're not going to speak. Mr. Coyne: I would ask... The Court: No.

How it started. How it's going.
Please soothe your soul with this footage of an enraged muppet being treated at the wild muppet center.
Humans are an end in themselves; ai is a means in search of an end.
This is such a blatant attempt at blackmail given that it takes less effort and fewer staff to run a security line where a bunch of travelers can leave their laptops in the bag and walk through a metal detector instead of a nakeycam.
Anybody who thinks they can quietly cut a deal with this regime is either a rube or a collaborator. And we can’t tolerate either.
The only thing that has worked is full opposition, clear public demands, and calling them out on their bullshit.

I read that book like 30 years ago! I’ll have to listen to see how it holds up.
That is an awesome amount of self control—thanks for giving me a new standard for calmness in problematic situations 😂😍
wait I just saw an Instagram post that Amber Glenn was telling reporters “oh yeah and I’m on my period right now lmao” which also FUCKING DELIGHTS ME, first of all because oh my god imagine being on your period and having to do a triple axel, but also just because these kids give zero fucks
NEW: I spoke to the sex workers organizing a union at Sheri's Ranch, a brothel in Nevada, about a contract that they say could threaten their right to control their images online. The fight is already serious: since the drive began, four workers have been fired. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
what he said: Democratic justices are a disgrace to the country, always vote to make America weak you can't fault their loyalty
AP quote: And of the more liberal justices who opposed him, Trump said “you can’t knock their loyalty,” even though he disagrees with their views

They have a persons with disabilities section in their concentration camp.
There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.
There must be trials. Not as an emotive aspiration, rhetorical meme, or empty threat. A concrete plan. A dedicated special court for it. Structural legislation and prosecutors and funding and all the rest of it. Everything necessary for it can be done constitutionally. All it takes is the will.
