My book display about LGBT+ history, and how LGBT+ history has historically been censored, got censored.
I'm a conflict-averse people-pleasing doormat who can spiral into anxiety if I feel like I've stepped on anyone's toes.
But this. This has severely pissed me off.

Facebook plans to put facial recognition in its glasses and they think we’re too stupid to fight back.
Their internal memo: “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”

One of the most fascinating aspects of the America Crisis is how under Trump much of the US Homeland security apparatus seems to understand places like Minnesota or Maine as little as the US National security apparatus under Bush understood places like Anbar or Herat
Inexperienced and delusional rookies at the helm... check. Comically bad misreading of local politics... check. Trying to correct with "a surge" that makes things worse... check.

The interesting thing about ICE and CBP blatant lies is that it has normie people questioning what other law enforcement lies like this on the regular.
It has shattered a lot of the deference people had.

FDA's decision not to accept Moderna's flu vaccine filing has sent shock waves through pharma.

Again, this is transcribed direct from Cass. And *why* do we need to be careful? Because Cass doesn't like the idea that a child could turn out to be trans. Because bigotry.
Of course NOT accommodating social transition if requested is EQUALLY an active intervention. A transphobic punishment.
