The question, as always with Trump, is NOT, "Is it illegal?"
The question is this: who will STOP him?
Asking whether or not it is legal is about 12 steps behind with Trump. Who will enforce this? What are the consequences to everyday people?

Ask any millennial what they would do with significant wealth, and you are likely to hear about their desire to help, to make life easier for the people they love. At what realized dollar amount does that die? Do we only dream of goodness when it’s unattainable?
What's the point of being rich if you can't afford to do the right thing.

I shifted to using the term “neurodiverse” instead of “neurodivergent” in an attempt to reject the idea of a “normal/default” neurotype. But understanding that the term is a socio-political identity gives reason to call out the assumed and systemically-established normality of neurotypicality.
Sonny Jane Wise says, “many believe psychiatrists and psychologists to be the arbitrator of what is or isn't neurodivergent
but psychiatrists and psychologists cannot be the arbitrator of a socio-political identity.” 💯

Is psychiatry and psychology co-opting neurodivergent; a socio-political term? — Lived Experience Educator
Firstly, we need to understand how and why neurodivergent is a socio-political term. When we say a term is socio-political, we are acknowledging the social and political factors and dynamics at play ...

Because they’re Black, they must be looting? This isn’t an honest mistake.
Spread truth, not lies: These folks weren’t looters. This footage is from KTLA, where the homeowner explained that her brothers & friends were helping her move belongings out of her burned house.

Since a lot of people are posting about it I'm going to share why I decided to discontinue using Meta's apps. I don't think everyone needs to or can do this, but I think it's maybe a good idea to start attempting alternatives if you have the freedom & time to do so. We don't have to accept dystopia.
Yeah this was my explanation to someone a little bit ago about where I'm at on it. Like it's less about a "boycott" and just like I do not want to be part of ANY of this shit.

Hey y'all, here's how to make BlueSky require alt text on your images so you don't forget, and also enable the option to show larger alt text buttons on images if needed.
Alt text is an accessibility tool to describe visual media to blind and low vision people. You should always use it. 💜

The first rule of political journalism is that Democrats are to be judged by outliers and positions they don’t endorse while Republicans, no matter how extreme, are painted as resonable moderates who are just channelling the righteous anger of the working-class.
Imagine thinking that Harris's campaign was about "pronouns and purity." You would have to have ignored every single ad, speech, rally, etc.
Too much of our pundit class just openly hates trans and non-binary people.

My phone just auto corrected "trauma dumping" to "trauma dumpling," so I painted this in case anyone would like a visual of my mental state.
