The latest Sequoia update for MacBook has totally screwed my entire online business

Apple: it’s not us.

Me: it is because it’s happening on two different apps.

Apple: if it is us we are only responsible to get you inside the app. Anything that happens after that is your problem.

Not a drag queen.

Not a trans person.

Not even an openly gay person

It's always cishet males hiding behind religion to do disgusting things.

Phang: They never learn, do they? There’s a slew of federal district court and appellate court judges telling this administration that what they’re doing is illegal and unconstitutional—but they don’t care. In response, they just call them “rogue judges.”

Columbia cancelled my course on race and media. But I’m teaching it to the people anyway.

Next Monday, July 14th is the first lecture of Race, Media and International Affairs 101, my independent course for @resistanceschool.bsky.social!

Sold out course! 500+ students enrolled.

We move! ✊🏾

We’ve shifted money from helping people to hurting people.
The ICE budget is now set to be approximately what the NIH budget was. We’re shifting money from solving real problems to solving fictitious problems.

Rep. Andy Ogles -- who apparently lied about his undergrad major, his fake graduate degrees, his past careers variously as an economist, a cop, and an expert in international sex crimes and so much more -- says that if another politician "fudged" about his own past then he should be deported.
Ogles on Trump's big bill: "Now, ICE is gonna have the personnel and resources to come into cities like Nashville and New York and quite frankly deport people ... if Zohran fudged on his immigration forms, we may very well be deporting him. Time will tell."

Pretty clear that this will be the vehicle SCOTUS will use to deny equal protection to transgender people. While the case will be about sports, that decision would essentially strip all rights on transgender status or sex for trans people.

It would make virtually any law permissible.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court announced it will hear two cases challenging state laws banning transgender students from participating in school sports.

Lower courts were right to block these discriminatory laws, and we will continue to defend the freedom of all kids to play.

Please believe me when I tell you:

Double the fuck down on your spiritual practice now.

You are going to need it.

And no, that doesn't have to be a prayer-god thing.

The thing that sustains and nourishes you.

That makes you more alive to yourself, the world, others.

More present.

My boyfriend and I are going to sign up to send postcards. I work weekends and can't go to protests so this is a way I think I can make a difference.

Meanwhile, the same folks who want to put the Ten Commandments in schools are building a concentration camp surrounded by alligators.
It’s notable that the Venn Diagram of a) people who think America is a Christian nation and b) people who are excited about violently expelling auslanders and creating tens of millions of stateless people, is close to a circle.
