Six people had their visas revoked due to their social media posts.

Six people are being deported because of what they said online.

Six people have had their freedom of speech suspended.

It won’t stop with these six people.

Either we all have freedom of speech or none of us do.

I've always said this, but since last November, I've been pointing this out frequently in whatever venues to whatever audiences I can: "The planet NASA studies most is Earth."

Celeste Labedz @celestelabedz.bsky.social · 2d

A lot of comments on Mars rovers or Moon landings, but it's important to remember that the planet NASA studies most is Earth. This is less about cutting flashy things like moonwalks and more about keeping communities in the dark on climate, weather, agriculture, pollution, natural hazards, and more.

It’s essentially an emergency that you see One Battle After Another in the cinema immediately. Sean Penn will win an Oscar & it has the best car chase in many years. And those aren’t in the top 3 best things about the film. Jesus shitting Christ.

So thankful that dudes without game now have the option of driving all of our energy bills up to come up with devastating lines like it was nice to meet you

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success".
When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be.
ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich.
"Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."

there's something really nice about the *idea* of church
going to a place to see people every week
maybe just maybe dressing up a little more than you normally would

and singing is really fun, when else does one have such an opportunity to sing in public without any pressure to be any good?

This whole series has been great, and genuinely moving, despite (or because of) being polished campaign video.

It is so rare to see those techniques—with that *surety*—used to say things like this, from positions like this, with a platform like this. No hedging, here.

Makes me want to do the work

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I want her to say there are infinite genders on the floor of the House. I want her to invite racialized trans people to join her and tell their stories. I want her to challenge every rule they pass against her and I want her to break them on purpose.

THAT'S what I want from her.

I want her to highlight the experiences of Black and Brown trans people. I want her to refuse to answer any address to her that isn't with a feminine honorific. I want her introducing bills to save lives in our community.

And I want her to stop supporting Israel.

What do I want from Sarah McBride?

I want her to fight for trans people. I want her to talk about what trans kids are going through every day. I want her to ask why a trans person has to be white and cis passing to get into Congress.
