They fired every Black woman at Teen Vogue and every trans staffer.

It is astonishing watching the American media ecosystem just falling like dominoes, bowing its knees to fascism.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

Shit like this is why I don't worry AI will replace developers long term. I mean, I've worked with some unintelligent humans but few would actually come up with this one unironically.

Michigan's porn ban specifically bans being openly transgender as being pornographic. Don't let this one slide. It is a ban on being publicly transgender on the Internet.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor appeared to rebuke calls to target “hate speech” in an apparent swipe at Attorney General Pam Bondi.

“Every time I listen to a lawyer-trained representative saying we should criminalize free speech in some way, I think to myself, that law school failed,” said Sotomayor.

Sotomayor rebukes calls to ‘criminalize free speech’ in apparent swipe at Pam Bondi

The justice, in public remarks, didn’t name the attorney general, who has come under fire for comments to target people over “hate speech.”

a guy was about to walk in, saw me, and stopped with an expression like "oops! wrong one!" He keeps on going down the hall, then comes in through the other door and is faced - again - with me washing hands.

At his confused expression I laugh and say, "dude, it's all gender neutral. Come on in."

Visited the new food hall downtown last night. The bathroom is gender neutral. Two entrances from the hallway about 15 feet apart on either side of the row of sinks, and then 8 or so private stalls with full doors, no visibility etc.

I was washing my hands when...

TIL that the country formerly known as Swaziland is now called Eswatini.

I already knew our administration and ICE were evil mofos persecuting Garcia out of spite.

Anna Bower @annabower.bsky.social · Sep 5

NEW: Fox News reports that the government is now threatening to send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Eswatini, a small country in southern Africa where the U.S. recently sent several migrants, some of whom remain imprisoned there.

@FoxNews has obtained an email ICE sent to Kilmar Abrego Garcia's lawyers this afternoon notifying them that ICE now plans to deport him to the tiny African country of ESWATINI due to him claiming fear of persecution/torture in Uganda & 20+ other countries, which ICE
says is "hard to take seriously".

More first world problems - my tailbone is not used to the lack of padding and hurts *all the time* now. Also, the fancy faux-aeron chair I use for my gaming computer cuts off the circulation in my legs now if I sit there more than an hour. Fortunately my work chair is still ok.

After talking to hubby, who rolled his eyes and said "order the 8s" and remembering I had a new customer coupon for 15% off the whole order, I bit the bullet and placed the order.

This retailer is online only so schlepping myself to the store is not an option. I *really* like the clothes though and so many of my clothes are baggy AF right now. Logically I know worst case scenario is I have to pay shipping to exchange but I can't seem to get past it.

Anecdotal Evidence @anyeone.bsky.social · Sep 2

I have not been able to submit my shopping cart because of this. I am afraid to order the 8s and then have to send them back (and pay shipping) for being too small, but also afraid of the 10s being baggy and then being angry at myself for not listening to all the "they size big" warnings.

When I enter ht & wt, look at the pictures, and pick shape choices that, to me, look like what I see in the mirror these days, it comes out an 8. But I cannot make myself actually believe that this is true and I feel like I'm lying to myself and should be picking the "wide" and "curvy" options.

Anecdotal Evidence @anyeone.bsky.social · Sep 2

First world problem: I have been looking at some clothes online that I really like. Almost all the reviews say things like "great quality, but I could have ordered the smaller size". I used their online size calculator which puts me either at an 8 or a 10 depending on how I describe my shape. 1/n

[P] In honor of #NationalDogDay, and in the interest of posting something that’s not completely doom-filled, here a video of me getting buried under fourteen golden retriever puppies back in 2021.

Genuinely one of the best memories of my life.

Word. I'm so fed up with people who do not understand the concept of triage. Deal with the biggest crisis first, then attack the smaller ones. In other words, support the one who isn't going to eliminate democracy as we know it, then worry about protesting the shitty things they still do later.

the Hutu rules of Rwanda called on their supporters to “exterminate the cockroaches” so they killed 800,000 Tutsis

Feed the People Mutual Aid @ftpmutualaid.bsky.social · Aug 21

A reference to "cockroaches" is telling. They see Black citizens of DC, migrants, and the unhoused as pests in need of removal, never mind the preceding centuries of inequality, slavery, death and terror. Please stay vigilant and feel free to report anything you see to us or tag us in your post

Quote tweet by Charlie Kirk that reads "President Trump is going out on patrol tonight in DC. Shock and awe. Force. We're taking our country back from these cockroaches. Just the start."

The quoted tweet is by Todd Starnes and says that Trump has told him in an interview that this news is true. He is referring folks to the full interview with Trump on his show at noon Eastern Time.
