I analyzed over 10 years of anti-trans legislation. Over 330 bills have passed, with ~300 of them in just the last 5 years. There is no precedent in American history for so many bills to target one particular minority group like this in such a short timeframe.

CJEU press release: Member State legislation which does not permit the amendment of the gender data of one of its nationals who has exercised his or her right to freedom of movement is contrary to EU law A Bulgarian national was registered at birth as being male, with a name, personal identification number and identity documents corresponding to that sex. She currently lives in Italy, where she has begun hormone therapy, and now presents herself as a woman. She instituted proceedings before the Bulgarian courts seeking a declaration that she is a female person and to have her civil status data amended on her birth certificate. Despite the medical opinions and legal assessments confirming the gender identity claimed, her request was rejected. According to national legislation, as interpreted by the plenary assembly of civil chambers of the Bulgarian Supreme Court of Cassation, the term ‘sex’ must be understood in its biological sense, excluding any amendment of the particulars relating to sex, name and identification number. The public interest, based on the moral and/or religious values of Bulgarian society, thus prevails over the interests of transgender persons. Hearing the dispute, the Bulgarian Supreme Court of Cassation has doubts as to the compatibility of that legislation with EU law and has referred the matter to the Court of Justice. In its judgment, the Court holds that EU law precludes legislation of a Member State which does not permit the amendment of the gender data in the civil status registers of one of its nationals who has exercised his or her right to move and reside freely in another Member State. The Court emphasises first of all that, while the issue of identity documents falls within the competence of the Member States, they must exercise that competence in compliance with EU law...
Huge trans rights ruling from the EU's top court - if someone moves to another EU country and transitions, their home country can't refuse to amend their registration details to match their lived gender identity
🖤Thank you Nóva, I miss you
CW: transphobia.
See, this is why it can be painful to know too much history.🫤
This post implies that what is happening in Kansas is *similar* to what the nazis did.
But it's not just similar. It's *identical*.
In 1933, nazis revoked trans people's documents. Before 1938.
Paragraph 175 and 183.
Looks like Kansas gets added to the list of States where it is a crime to be trans in public, or to drive a vehicle while trans.
"You now live in a country where volunteers deliver babies at home, in secret, off the books, because mothers fear that if they go to the hospital, they will be abducted by masked, armed agents of the state while giving birth. This is not a hypothetical."
Je dénonce les irresponsables qui nous mettent une cible dans le dos.
Honte au gouvernement qui autorise un défilé néo-nazi 82 ans après l'exécution de Missak Manouchian par les nazis.
The U.S. currently has more prisoners and a more sophisticated system of concentration camps than Nazi Germany had on the eve of World War II in 1939

2:00–13:00 CET — Can Europe achieve tech sovereignty? Europe boasts none of the major social media or digital platforms, leaving critical infrastructure and information flows in the hands of foreign powers. Meanwhile, the U.S. and China, the current leaders in digital technology, are increasingly diverging from the values of information integrity and democratic governance. Join us to explore why Europe must assert its own tech and information sovereignty. From policy and regulation to innovation and infrastructure, these experts will examine how Europe can reclaim control over its digital future, protect democratic norms, and ensure that its citizens have access to trustworthy, accountable information. Speakers: Sandrine Dixson-Declève ,Honorary President, The Club of Rome & Executive Chair, Earth4All, Belgium Ingmar Rentzhog ,CEO and Founder of We Don't Have Time Anna Zeiter, CEO, W Social Dylan Tanner, Executive Director, InfluenceMap

The EU Cyber Resilience Act requires manufacturers to have an SBOM - but what does that mean? Last Friday we had a chat about the CRA and SBOMs and it turned out it wasn't easy to figure out.

Under the Biden administration, the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) got private firms to pledge to hit certain memory-safety goals. This was called Secure by Design.
Then Trump cut CISA's budget and Musk's goons forced out much of CISA's staff, ending Secure by Design

Yay! So happy you are going to be on this continent! Wish you the best journey, take care 💚
Text reads: Mozilla, in its finite wisdom, embedded LLM bots into recent versions of Firefox for the vitally-important purpose of... naming tab groups. Now, some users are noticing CPU and power usage spikes caused by a background process called Inference. Ugh. Reminder again for Firefox users to visit your about:config page, search for the browser.ml.chat.enabled key, and set that to false: Displayed is a screenshot of Firefox showing the config search bar with the listed search. The word "false" is circled in red. Text continues: If yours says true then double-click it until it reads false. Doing that turns off the Al chatbot features in Firefox, but also the stupid new LLM tab-naming feature that's rolling out.
Just a heads up to anyone using Firefox:
The DOJ subpoenas to providers of gender affirming care wanted the therapy notes, social security numbers, and addresses of patients. This is an unprecedented and disgusting violation of medical privacy.
