This shit makes me so mad because people don't understand how much power we have over these companies and the only thing we need to do is not give them money. The only thing we need to do is to not do anything. It's the easiest shit!

It's also depressing that all this happened just because Jimmy Kimmel got pulled off air, which means a threat to Americans' free speech

And that it took for them to be affected to actually do something since the genocide on Palestinians that Disney kept funding was ignored for years

Huge overlap here with the way straights have traditionally seen gay folks as obsessed with sex. Since the only time they think about queers being queer is related to sex, that's what they see us as: purely sexual. They don't see us as whole people, with lives of housework, jobs & caring for family.

One of the most pernicious cissexual myths is that **trans ppl** are obsessed w gender when the average cis woman would never think of wearing a bow tie and the average cis man gets angry if he has to drink out of a coffee cup w too many dainty flowers glazed on it.

Nora Reed (they/them ze/hir) @nora.zone · 17d

trans people just want to be able to live their lives and cis people are like "due to this we need to do mandatory genital inspections to children playing sports". im sorry but the problem is cis people

so this is a pretty clear example of why people working on #IndigenousDataSovereignty need to pay more attention to digital infrastructure, software, and enshittification in general. The manufactured hype that "'AI' is gonna save Indigenous languages!" is a distraction from the real dangers we face.

The Trump administration is offering cash to local law enforcement in exchange for "locating" our immigrant neighbors through the 287(g) program.

Taxpayer dollars are better spent investing in programs that actually keep our communities safe — not fueling mass deportations.

How Expanded 287(g) Program Turns Local Police Into Deportation Agents | ACLU

The Trump administration has expanded the controversial program to harm more communities than ever. Families and advocates nationwide are fighting back.

always thinking about how the cops in big cities have admitted on many occasions that they know *exactly* how to deal with one enormous march, but have no answers for a dozen little autonomous actions at the same time. food for thought!

(perfectly nuanced beautiful genius voice) signing up for a rally-style Big Protest is *probably* not going to get you black-bagged by an intelligence agency but it should be recognized as bad opsec, and bad practice moving forward if we want to see the kind of movement that gets anything done
