Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

Please read Kate's piece and watch Zohran's video. So important, so good, and so hopeful. I cried watching it too.

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:

There is a reason the two leading parties of Palestine today are:

1) Fatah, which has completely disarmed and surrendered any real sovereignty and have been 'rewarded' with increasing settlements, checkpoints, bombed refugee camps, etc.

2) Hamas (which, lest we forget, was funded by Netanyahu)

If you think ICE raids are impossible here, it may be time to think again…

Bill C-2 is about to import militarized control, racial profiling & mass surveillance right out of Trump’s playbook and into our backyard.

Sharing this again because it's a good guide for finding useful tech tools, but it's becoming more important to cut ties from US tech

Paris Marx @parismarx.com · Jul 18

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!

Getting off US tech: a guide

I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you…

Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest.

The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

A therapy or intervention with an 80% success rate would be considered a medical miracle in pretty much any other field, but when it comes to expressing one's gender identity apparently it's an unacceptable low. For, uh, reasons.

Julia Serano @juliaserano.bsky.social · 21d

many ppl highlighting flaws in this article. but having fought in the "80% desistance" wars of the mid-2010s, I remember asking anti-trans activists if they'd be ok if 80% of youth were helped by gender-affirming care (flipping their argument). & they *never* answered. b/c they want *zero* trans ppl

screenshot of a The Economist post that reads: "A recent study found that children who transitioned young retained stable gender identities over time. But the fact that nearly a fifth of those in the group did not ought to give advocates of irreversible medical interventions pause". the byline of the linked to article says "a study finds that one in five who switch gender change their mind"

I just want to remind people that over 200,000 real lives were murdered in the Guatemalan genocide. Most of them were indigenous Guatemalans, like my dad's cousins, who are also victims.
