It is mind-boggling to me that people say "but I had to comply with the fascists because otherwise there would be some cost—"
NO FUCKING KIDDING. Did you think you'd never have to make a hard choice in Fascist America? That you wouldn't be asked to sacrifice someone and be rewarded for it?? JFC

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding”
Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure.
We are all in this together, and we all go down together.
I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

FWIW, the choice was scrubbing their website or potentially closing down because their funding was turned off. Sure they could have sued, but what then?

major props to the associated press for not capitulating to trump. they're setting the standard for what news should be - independent, committed to the truth, and ready to stand against authoritarian governments.
BREAKING: Associated Press is suing the Trump administration for violating the First Amendment.
This is what needs done at every turn. Resist. Fight back.
Well done AP👏

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

Long time ago I wrote an article on taxonomy in Magic (ok - it was April Fools material), lambasting the designers for their disregard to taxonomy and awful choices of creature types.
Those days are long gone.
Look at this: Possum type to show gliders are marsupials.

I saw a post saying that ICE is pausing its tip line, so I decided to call myself to verify.
The recorded voicemail said they are not currently accepting immigration status tips.
Good job, friends.

the ai sloppification of the world will only end if organizations stand up for artists like this. this is another great reason to unionize your workplace as you can include NO AI ART in your work contract
Hi! Quick note: The Onion accidentally posted a stock photo from a vendor with an AI generated image in it. We pulled the post down once we found that out. Our commitment to not using AI is very real. It's in the union contract to disclose it if we ever do. World is a slop minefield and we're sorry.

He’s also trying to overwhelm with the sheer number of actions in a short amount of time, making it difficult to respond in a coherent and substantive way.
Important to recognize that many of Trump's actions will be blocked. Many are illegal, unconstitutional, or not following existing procedures for policy change. He's banking on the image of massive change setting the narrative before the reality that he's not good at actual implementation sets in.

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

My favorite fused glass piece to date. A large Praying Mantis framed as a scientific specimen.
It’s roughly 10 inches from wing tip to wing tip and the frame was built out of salvaged wood from an Ohio barn.
