"The Pope isn't responsible for the American Congress of Bishops banning trans healthcare" so the thing about the power of the Pope is that he could just overwrite them if BANNING ALL TRANS HEALTHCARE FOR EVERYONE ADULTS AND MINORS ALIKE was something he cared about
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Or, and hear me out, write how you want. Don't be cowed by LLMs. We do not have to cede territory to the Theft and Murder Machine. We don't write like LLMs; LLMs generate content that is a simulacrum of our work.
The board voted at its March meeting to require transgender students to use locker rooms and bathrooms that match their sex assigned at birth. The superintendent said social workers would meet with the affected students to go over the changes.
In case it is unclear: your ethical and moral obligation is to refuse to participate in enforcing this. To validate that this is wrong. To push back and stand with trans kids. To offer safe bathrooms. It is not to make it palatable or tolerable for other adults.

Trump handed the Iranian regime a weapon that has FAR greater utility than a nuke. He legitimized the weaponization of the Strait of Hormuz and turning it into a toll booth to demand reparations payments. A nuke is relatively useless in comparison because the moment you use it, you’re toast.
I personally think not safe to remain in any personal relationship with anyone who is using LLMs to analyze your relationship, make conclusions about your motives, or determine how to treat you. I think this is beyond red flag—it should be an immediate dealbreaker.
Man idk how to express how demoralizing it is to see people doing joke support for the Pope as the Catholic Church implements the most draconian trans healthcare ban anywhere in the US. It's a FULL ADULT TRANS HEALTHCARE BAN!!!THEY KEEP BUYING MORE HOSPITALS!!!!!!!
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
this is why there’s been mass revolt and opposition to data centers being built in communities. it is genuinely a health hazard to live this close to something emitting this much sound. these need to stop being built
I'm going to point out that we spent a shit ton of taxpayer money on moderna and he's stealing it from us.
Bunnies in a raft pull up next to a spaceship capsule, which has just splashed down and is floating in the open sea. Visible in the capsule, two bunnies wave at the ones in the boat.
Daily bunny no.3285 made it home safely
Here’s the story of one of them. Awful www.thestranger.com/forced-out/f...
The woman being murdered in the video Trump posted was an immigrant. Her name was Nilufar Yasmin. She was from Bangladesh. Trump is weaponizing her death against communities like hers. Outstanding reporting from @pabloreports.bsky.social for Migrant Insider. migrantinsider.com/p/her-name-w...
ICE agents shot another driver -- on Tues.
He had just asked to call his wife.
They shot him six times. One bullet his jaw.
Now he can't speak and has been mostly unconscious.

Our teen librarian thought about making a list of “clean” books because they were asked for so often, and then stopped, because to keep that list means it could be FOIA-ed and used as evidence that library “knows” some books are bad.
This is not paranoia. Right wingers weaponize FOIA.
Our PhD student Kennedy Orwa, who studies applications of AI to health care, was hastily deported today to Kenya along with his 13-year-old son without opportunity to speak to legal counsel.
King 5 reports that he held a valid visa that was rescinded without explanation.

Why is the NYTimes reply-guying to a bunch of Trans people?
Let's crush this grotesque flirtation before it gains anymore steam. There is no common ground with Tucker Carlson. There is no common ground with those who claim common ground with Tucker Carlson. There are no "good" fascists vs. "bad" fascists. Fascists=fascists.
As a trans person, going through TSA is already nightmarish. I have a metal hip, so I have to go through the scanner.
Every fucking time I get a pat down because my groin area is "abnormal". The idea of having ICE agents doing that instead of TSA agents makes me never, ever want to fly again.
This is the goal. They want to stop us, and other people they don't like, from traveling
I tried to push back on a follower of mine defending using "zio," got accused of being one, and then blocked.
So to make it absolutely clear: stop fucking saying that shit. "Zio" was coined by David Duke. The way in which so many of you have so easily slipped into this kind of antisemitism is BAD.
the trans drivers license revocation in kansas is horrible, but it's the second-worst thing in the bill
there's not been nearly enough focus on the bathroom bounty system: any private resident can sue me for $1000 if they can prove i made them uncomfortable in a bathroom
Six years ago today, police killed Breonna Taylor during a no-knock raid at her home. She wasn’t even the target of the investigation. Now the Trump DOJ is doing away with the rules meant to prevent another tragedy like hers. My latest for @us.theguardian.com.
Y'all, it's not just a war crime.
Someone in power, like him, declaring it? That's a war crime in and of himself. Him saying this line on TV is a war crime, recognized by both International agreement and US Law.

After months of work, a project i've been coordinating for @literaryhub.bsky.social in conjunction with @maris.bsky.social is now live ...
We've commissioned 13 reviews of books by LGBTQ folks not covered by the NYTBR under Pamela Paul ...

Leaving aside the fact that he's conflating Iran and Palestine--gee, I wonder why--killing defenseless children is very bad. What monstrous country would do such a thing. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.
The toll from a strike on a girls’ elementary school in Minab, Iran, has risen to 57 students dead and 60 others injured. (Tasnim News Agency)
This is what I need cis folks to understand.
It's been a decade.
Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it
