Democratic-led states secured a legal victory to keep the personal data of food recipients out of the federal government's reach. But NPR's reporting shows that millions of records on Americans have already been shared. n.pr/3KYgNDI
At least 27 states turned over sensitive data about food stamp recipients to USDA

a question I often find myself asking these days: "are these the moves of a movement that feels that it's winning or one desperately afraid that it's about to lose everything?"
what we’ve seen from the right is the most insane case of cancel culture i’ve ever witnessed. the left has never even done close to a fraction of a fraction of what they want to do now

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

Lil Nas X deserves more shows of solidarity and support from the LGBTQ+ community.
Lil Nas is a Gay man facing an unjust arrest and imprisonment over a mental health crisis.
Gay men are unfairly targeting lately, and Black Gay men are targeted by racist policing and homophobia.
Nas deserves support!
Opinion: Mental illness in Black people is criminalized, and Lil Nas X being thrown to the ground and arrested is no laughing matter, Mey Rude writes.
Forget the 'stunts'—what happened to Lil Nas X is terrifying

Bluesky moderation suspending trans people for wishing ill on the members of a hate group who are actively working to eradicate us shows us what a morally bankrupt crock of shit civility is and how it only serves to punish victims and protect victimizers. Bluesky should be ashamed of themselves.

oh, oh that's bluesky going full Tumblr moderation mode rn.
it appears that @bsky.app have suspended the account of @jessiegender because a trans person saying "I wish ill on JK Rowling" is against the rules, so let me say with my loud cis voice that I too wish ill on all perpetrators of hate speech against trans people

reinstate Jessie, this is ridiculous

There's a really persistent strain of thought that holds that men are ontologically evil and dangerous (whether it glorifies that danger, or deplores it) and it is fundamentally reactionary. It's the logic of the TERF and the manosphere grifter, and it is antithetical toward the idea of change

A Stripe rep hung up on me when they realized they told me they're disallowing "LGBTQ content" in transactions, so either they're slipping up more or just being more honest about their real intentions.

Keep the pressure up, keep calling, maybe start recording what they're telling you.
Did you call your censorious overlords today? Don't forget to complete your dailies!!

Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

Keep calling. Keep sending physical letters. Do not stop at the slightest hint of them budging.

Do not let the momentum die.

Fictional kinks can't hurt me but a fascist regime very much can and will.

If you genuinely think fictional content (yes, even the "too gross" ones) is WORSE than fascism, reprioritize your life.

I can curate what fictional content I engage with.
I can't content warning my way out of fascism lmfao
As expected seeing ppl backpedaling on the itch thing now that there's a list of the unacceptable content and it includes stuff that's "too gross"

It's all of us or none of us. Our enemies have made that clear.

I would rather work side by side with a freak than with a fascist.
