oh, so there it is: the blatant proclamation that the current administration is intending to literally target trans people to exterminate them
the mussolini treatment would be far too compassionate for these ghouls abusing their positions of power

meanwhile, the US attorney general also wants to categorize trans equality activists as belonging to “designated terrorist organizations”.
a leaked Justice Department memo from December 9th added “radical gender ideology” as part of its definition of “domestic terrorism”.

@UNICEF.org's statement on age restrictions on social media highlights a key point that supporters of these restrictions ignore — social media bans hurt the most vulnerable and marginalized youth, cutting them off from sources of connection, expression, and learning. www.unicef.org/press-relea...

Mozilla has a new CEO and he just announced that Firefox will evolve into a modern AI browser.

A lesbian-protagonist sci-fi show is the most-watched Apple TV+ series of all time.
A gay hockey romance is #1 on HBO Max.
And a gay detective movie is #1 on Netflix. 🏳️🌈
Sounds like the woke and ghey stuff has an audience.

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.
Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

Look, they do not have the capacity or competence to do this at the scale they want you to fear they do, and your fear is precisely their greatest force multiplier. Everybody who is cowed into silence by their threats allows them a smaller pool to focus on.

Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.

Interesting story.
SNOLAB is located 2km below the surface in a mine near Sudbury Ontario.
It is the largest deep clean lab in the world.
The 2 km of solid rock filters out basically everything except astroparticles, making it great for studying neutrinos and dark matter.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.
The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.
