I am no longer making allowances for cis people who are “just confused by the whole ‘trans’ thing.”
Either you oppose a hateful, capricious authoritarian regime choosing to target a vulnerable minority group for horrifying violence, or you… don’t.
And if you don’t, you’re beneath contempt.

It's hard to explain to normies how much effort Trump is putting into anti-trans policies.
This is like the 12th thing just this week. And there were 12 things the week before, and 12 things the week before that. There will be 12 things next week.
This is almost everything the government is doing.

BREAKING: Trump administration plans to end prison rape protections for trans & intersex people, memo says. A DOJ memo says certain standards under the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) do not align with Trump’s Jan. 20 anti-trans executive order, @byadamrhodes.bsky.social reports.

It’s okay to be happy with Trump agreeing with you on a single policy decision, sometimes senile people stumble into good ideas.

remembering from my youth how "Time Warner" seemed like the embodiment of massive corporate American business power, like the Empire State building of companies. And look it now, scattered in pieces, diminishing more with each sale. "oh, how they come and go," as Nick Drake sang.

cool that the official position of the administration appears to be that black people don’t really count as americans
"The Donald Trump administration has changed which holidays qualify for free entrance to national parks, removing two holidays celebrating Black people and adding the president’s birthday."
National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people
Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.

Guys, do not use the Discord Checkpoint thing (Discord's attempt at Spotify Wrapped).
It requires enabling them access to scrape your data, and has an alarming amount of private data being used for it.

People are mad at Rand Paul for *checks notes* correctly noting that releasing video would probably raise public pressure on the Senate and help drum up the votes needed to put a stop to this.
Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released.
“And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”

Misinterpreting the most vulnerable and self-defensive attempt to survive as a hostile act? Who do you think you are, a cop?
Q: What did you see in the second strike?
Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."
