When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

In lieu of Discord’s age verification policies, time to make another post about the dangers of online censorship (especially in connection to child trafficking).
Tl;dr: These policies are about surveillance, profit, and data mining…not about ‘saving the children.’

“But the antidote to moral injury doesn’t usually start with grand gestures, it starts with recognizing our capacity to act in the service of our values in small ways that remind us we have at least some agency, even if everything in us is screaming that we have none.”

I don’t mock anybody for looking after their health - you do what you have to do. But I don’t agree with the lectures to ‘be kind to yourself’ & ‘not watch the video.’ If possible you do need to see what the state does in your name, with your money, to people you know & who look like you.

'Why aren't they in the streets' is answered almost every day in my small town by people in the streets! Rather than asking 'why aren't they in the streets' it's worth asking 'why isn't your media showing them in the streets' and 'who is served by downplaying resistane in its myriad forms.'
The idea that there are no protests in the US and no one is standing up to Trump is proving incredibly hard to kill over here in Germany. It’s become dogma, utterly detached from empirical reality.
I wonder if the people who keep talking like that understand they’re perpetuating regime propaganda.

Protester is 21 yrs old. ICE agent dragged him and held his head down in his own pool of blood, mocked him about losing his eye. They fired pepper pellets at the HEAD of a witness recording the incident.

This is Minneapolis:
Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city.
Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.

This ends up having legitimately bad outcomes, too, because a sizable pillar of transphobia rests on this kind of gender essentialism as its foundation. If gender is destiny, and most people struggle to understand the difference between assigned sex and gender, then assigned sex is destiny.
Frankly, if you frame life as men bad and women good, you’re basically begging to get hurt by other women as they perpetuate the structures of misogyny against you, while also preventing yourself from finding love with men, who can actually be really lovely (including cis men).
I’ll die on the hill that “all men suck” is, in general, baby’s first feminist thought, which is distressing considering that’s where most people’s feminist awakening seems to end.

The rise of deepfakes and AI CSAM prove public and private sectors don’t actually care about abuse, but still punish sex workers, queer people, and women under that guise. Credit cards companies and law enforcement punish consensual sex and sexuality, but ignore and therefore encourage abuse
