Well holy fucking shit. Ring cancelled their partnership with Flock. Keep pressure on them to stop volunteering their feeds to state, local, and federal agencies, though, because that part's still going.

hi, cis folks!

if you’re in kansas, please call & tell your state senator & representative that revoking trans people’s documents & setting bounties on trans folks using the bathroom is fucked. tell them to support a veto—yes, even republicans.

contact info: reps.fyi

find talking points in the QP
The Kansas State Legislature just passed SB 244, an extremist bill which cruelly targets trans people and their access to restrooms and accurate identity documents.

Kansans: The time to act is NOW. 🚨

Contact your legislators and urge them to SUPPORT the veto of SB 244: tinyurl.com/2m77hbkk

This is what eugenics and mass murder look like in a social Darwinian neo fascist society like the one MAHA is making real at astounding pace.

American Fascism is going to murder tens of millions of people in its quest to ethnically cleanse the world of given the chance.

👇🏻 This is important. These cameras are recording even if you don’t pay for the service, and even when they’re ostensibly disconnected.

The videos are stored where you can’t see or delete them, oh and the Third Party Doctrine says they aren’t really your videos, so cops don’t need a warrant for them

A friend of mine who works with trafficking victims had this to say.

“They can sell humans over and over again once they've recruited them into this. It's not like drugs where they need to up the supply to keep up with demand. They just keep using them up.”

Sometimes I want to talk about how pedophilia probably wasn't strictly the draw for most of these men (though it certainly was for Epstein himself). It is simply that raping and torturing minors is one of the last frontiers of depravity left to powerful men who can do anything.

this is the second version of this post that I have seen calling this social murder. Colonoscopy is an invasive procedure. It’s very safe but not zero risk. We recently changed the recommended age of screening for average risk patients to 45 in response to increased incidence of earlier cancers.
Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

UW Health's compliance in advance sends the message that providers should capitulate to the government rather than support best-practice care.

One of the horrific things about this positioning is that it takes agency away from children and families. If you're a parent who is happy for your eight year old son to share overnight accommodation with his trans schoolfriend, and they are both happy, why is Labour telling them they can't?

Labour's Manifesto promised to ban conversion therapy. But I defy anyone to explain how, looking at the totality of its policy platform, Labour's real policy is anything other than promoting desistance.
Labour continues to troll the trans community - and to prioritise pleasing the right wing press. We know Hilary Cass was selected for her transphobic views: Kemi Badenoch told us exactly that.

So why is she running trans policy for Labour?

Seems like that AOC's speech in Munich tomorrow will in some way address Palestine.

On a secondary note, it's very rare to see a US newspaper say outright that actual genocide scholars agree that Gaza has been subject to genocide.

I’ve spent years of my life trying to explain to people that anti-trans conservatism naturally flows from their belief that children in the American nuclear family are not individuals with autonomy, but instead property of the parents and state, and this guy just… tweeted it out

worth noting that the area it was dropped in is a very low-income neighborhood with a lot of public housing.

i don’t think that’s a coincidence in the slightest.

Going to make a thread of every reason to NEVER vote for Newsom. Let's start with:
Ben Shapiro: "Israel did not commit a genocide in Gaza"
Gavin Newsom: "I agree with you."

Today @chmnmendelson.bsky.social announced that the 30-day congressional review period, during which a D.C. bill can be repealed, actually wrapped up last night. That means, per his office, that the D.C. tax decoupling bill is the law of the land, and can't be repealed by Congress.

A federal agent shot a Chicago woman 5 times after saying she tried to ram him with her car.

Newly released evidence contradict that agent's account — and shows that agents boasted about the shooting. blockclubchi.co/463Y4i1
