"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!!!!!!!

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.

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.

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 after Breonna Taylor’s death, America is weakening the rules that could have saved her | Jamil Smith Following Taylor’s death, the US limited no-knock warrants. But the Trump administration has quietly rescinded those limits

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.

This is what I need cis folks to understand.

It's been a decade.
