📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU.

Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

Signal @signal.org · 5d

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

on the FLIP side the worst part about being a trans woman is that i can't ever look at porn without going "oh that's my mutual" "oh i have her blocked" "oh she's really annoying" every five minutes. you bitches ruined my favourite fetish category

Katie Tightpussy, Editor-In-Chief @katie.bzky.team · 18h

i think my favourite part about being a trans woman is how much of an impact we have on culture. a friend reminded me today about a popular meme format she created. another friend today casually told me about how she was the most notorious roblox hacker when she was a child.

just a day in the life!

if you can give anything towards this- please do

i am paying every single cent i can get my hands on towards this.

the radiation therapy has proved effective after only 11 sessions.

imagine what the full course could do. 🥹

i really would like my life back- and this is a real chance to get there

Bea Eli 🏳️‍⚧️ @msbeaeli.bsky.social · 7d

According to Bex's doctor, the radiation therapy is working!

The bad news is they need to pay the $3280 remaining balance ASAP!

$20 from your pocket could literally save their life.
Give it today- their treatment has been interrupted several times due to lack of funds.

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

It's Black History Month, folks.

Rebeka is a Black enby cancer patient who has been struggling to pay for life-saving treatment for so long.

Some of my twitter moots will remember them as Bex from #ActuallyAutistic twitter who used to advocate for Black autistic folks.

Can we make this happen?

OMG y'all are so pressed that most AA folks observe & celebrate British BHM too?? 2 white folks have the audacity to dm me to say it's not BHM in America. Y'all blocked.

Yes, we will absolutely grab at an additional opportunity to imprint anti-racism practices in y'all minds.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

Well, yeah, we're suing ICE.

This wasn't really a hard decision. As little faith as we have in institutions, we recognize the value of drawing visible lines in the sand. We drew ours personally a while ago, but better late than never.

May every protester be freed and may this occupation end.

UPDATE: The state agency tasked with appointing a new prosecutor to take over Fani Willis' case against Trump and others in GA has asked the judge for an extension.

Citing the complexity of the case, the Prosecuting Attorneys' Council wants at least 90 days to find a replacement prosecutor.

Due to the complexity of this case and the vast personnel and resources required to handle a case
of this nature, it will require time to seek a District Attorney Pro Tempore willing to take on this
prosecution. Moreover, based on the holding in State v. Roman, 373 Ga. App. 863 (2024),
additional inquiries must be made that could potentially disqualify likely candidates from the list
of attorneys found in O.C.G.A. § 15-18-5 (a)(1)-(3).
Until disqualification, only members of the District Attorney's Office for the Atlanta Judicial
Circuit had access to the case file. The undersigned has requested the physical file to be provided
to him to facilitate a seamless period of transition from the disqualified office to the new
prosecutor's office. Based on information provided by the Atlanta Judicial Circuit, due to the
voluminous size of the case file, the Prosecuting Attorneys' Council does not expect to receive the
full case file in the instant case for approximately four weeks from the date of this filing. Without
having the file, the undersigned cannot intelligently answer questions of anyone requested to take
the appointment or to do his own diligence in finding a prosecutor who is not encumbered by a
significant appearance of impropriety.
Based on the foregoing, the State respectfully requests the Court reconsider its order or provide
the undersigned no less than 90 days from receipt of the case file to appoint a conflict prosecutor
