Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.
For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

In order of importance, this is:

Amazonian scorpion molecule wipes out breast-cancer cells in lab tests. In vitro, the compound triggered necrosis in breast-cancer cells within 24 hours, achieving effects comparable to chemotherapy without damaging surrounding tissue. buff.ly/uBcLin7

BREAKING! 🚨
Egale Canada and Skipping Stone have just won an injunction against the UCP’s egregious Bill 26.
The UCP can now do the right thing and rescind their anti-trans legislation, and respect human rights.
They can start focusing on the real issues that Albertans care about.

The reason the Times has to focus so much on Chase Strangio as a scapegoat for Skrmetti is that the movement leaders running legal strategy were basically all the same cis ones who did marriage equality. The whole narrative falls apart when you realize that.

The NYT decided to kick trans people in the teeth the day after Skrmetti. They wrote a hit piece blaming trans people for their own oppression and attacked the people who have fought hardest to stop this effort to eradicate us.
They turned to Brianna Wu to further their narrative.

CLARIFICATION :
The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline.
They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY
So spread this around
They can be texted. They can be called.

absolutely shrieking at the thought of the Catholic US Supreme Court justices having to decide what the fuck to do with a Catholic plaintiff who says it’s religious discrimination to be forced by their employer to use AI
Wait does this mean we can use religious exemptions for good??
"I can't use AI, the Pope says it's a sin." 🥹
"I can't use AI, the Pope says it's a sin." 🥹
if an American pope takes up AI under the seven themes of Catholic social teaching (of which one is “The Dignity of Work & the Rights of Workers” and another is “Care and Stewardship of God’s Creation”) all the worst Catholics in America might just keel over on the spot and save us all some trouble
