Close to 650 federal agents remain in Minnesota weeks after border czar announced end of operation There are still more than quadruple the 150 agents Tom Homan said there would be in the state by the end of last week.

They’re still lying to us.

Kansas just invalidated the drivers licenses of every trans person in the state. They’re being told to surrender their current licenses and get new ones listing their birth sex. No grace period. Get caught driving with your now-invalid license and you’re looking at jail and a fine.

πŸ‘€Now that ICE/DHS are planning to buy β€˜mega’ warehouse detention centers across the US to house human beings you might want to listen to this gentleman’s history lesson that he delivered at a city council meeting in AZ. Congress needs to have hearings on this like yesterday.

GAMA is coming up soon so this is your reminder that these girls (and me) live in Louisville and you can see them (and me!) if you’d like.

Printer tracking dots - Wikipedia

Do you know what MIC stands for? No? You should!

Machine Identification Code

MICs enable tracking a printed piece of paper back to the printer. So - you print something at home and it ends up in the streets at say... a protest. Forensically it can be traced back to your printer and you.

Call your reps. Let them know that if they vote for ICE funding, you will not vote for them ever again.

Representatives need to feel the heat. NO on ICE funding. No excuses.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.

That is called murder when they do that.

Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

I love multi-player solitaire. Fun way to see who can make the best engine in the game, or just fun to know I can do what I want without any worry of someone else getting in my way

XG’s Cocona Comes Out as Transmasculine, Nonbinary The 20-year-old rapper announced the news in an Instagram post: β€œI was born and perceived as female, but that label never represented who I truly am. I live in a way that feels more masculine and true...

I'm happy to hear the news about Cocona coming out as a transmasc nonbinary person and that Cocona is in a supportive environment.

This is a GREAT news for young nonbinary people and a tremendous step forward for nonbinary recognition in Japan.

Actually somewhat-massive news, COCONA, one of the members of the all-Japanese based-in-Korea group XG, has come out as non-binary transmasc and having had top surgery

Which for an active idol in either country is just unheard of, never mind one at such a big group. They look amazing!

The Salvation Army is not a charity. They are an evangelical church that uses donated money to actively oppress gay rights. They've been especially cruel to trans people.

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

@amabel.bsky.social 2 Q’s on Belinda’s Big Bonus:
1) I didn’t see where a Belinker option for the game was on your website, did I miss this? Or is there someway the additional cards can be ordered separately?

2) Is someone using a β€˜Gentleman’s Wolf’ during the game a cause for penalty or fair play?

The timing of this game coming out now is glorious. I just finished listening to the main six season of the podcast/ source material and I’ve only got the β€˜bonus’ stuff left. Maybe a bit more info than I needed to say that I’m so happy and ready that this game is now out!!
