Congress released a DHS funding bill that doesn’t rein in ICE nor significantly reduce its funding.
Contact your reps to demand they vote no on any funding bill allowing ICE to continue its abuses:

Managers basically don't respect the wide and varying nature of what their human front line workers actually do and how they can provide the best experience for your customers *if you let them*
But they've been convinced systems which slot you into predetermined paths are "efficiency"

1. As some Democrats have run from transgender rights, Zohran Mamdani is showing what so many others have lacked: courage to lead with his values over pandering to focus groups.
The ad is one of the best things I've seen from a politician on transgender people.

10 minute call with Visa and we went in circles, would give no specifics, pointed to the two month old statement on videogames. Asked why nobody wants to tell me if I can buy LOTR, eventually got hung up on. Melt their lines
Visa and Mastercard reportedly coming for FAIRIES and CAT EARS
Get on the phone and ask them wtf is up because this even made me double take

Woke up to quite the update on this. I had been in contact with Payment Cloud about getting their service and they waited until now to hit me with the image below. Again, stringing me along instead of being upfront. They had seen my website multiple times before this.

Among the zillion other things, I will never ever forget when a Dem president tried to provide SOME relief for student loan debt, Repubs shat right on that. They ripped it from us for no fucking reason. That $20k relief could have meant a house someday. But no. The shareholder needs another yacht.

Called and left a voicemail for Stripe today telling them enforcing censorship through restricting payments is wrong and it was real easy. Going to draft up a few physical letters tomorrow to send out to MC/VISA. I’ll upload a template and share mailing addresses for anyone who wants to do the same.

Since some of you CLEARLY want to see rare blooms: The Huntington’s corpse flower is due to bloom soon — something it only does once every 2-3 years — and they’ve got a livestream. You can also buy a ticket if you want to see a *massive* stinky flower in person:

You’ve undoubtedly seen the list of banned subjects itch has been forced to add by payment services, just like other storefronts. If you’re someone who thus far has thought “well, that’s just for gross porn, not stuff I like”, think again. These rules threaten Misericorde and other future work.

Here’s a short script:

Collective Shout, the group that took credit for bullying Mastercard into recently censoring more platforms, stated that apparently it took them ~1000 phonecalls to convince them to give them what they wanted?
We got like way more people than that don't we?

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

If passed, the SAVE Act would limit access to our democracy for millions of eligible voters.
The House has already passed it, but the Senate can still stop it in its tracks.
Tell your Senator to REJECT this bill in defense of our voting rights.

The SAVE Act would keep millions of people from being able to vote – and would shut countless eligible voters out of our democracy. Urge Congress to reject this bill now.

Also point this out to anyone you can. These were not planned protests. These were normies getting the supplies for their weekend projects or at a restaurant and saw their servers getting hauled off and were like this is some bullshit.
This is a fever dream. The city is not under migrant occupation. This whole thing kicked off because ICE began an intense operation across the city to raid Home Depots and nail salons and places where random undocumented immigrants might be going about their day working a job.
The president exists in a dystopian fantasy world with no connection to reality
