As ICE Street Raids Ramp Up, New Yorkers Stock Up On Whistles Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks — a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.

“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”

Non-binary includes people who are masc-presenting, folks. So don't be so fucking shocked when someone who could pass as a cis man turns up to your "women and non-binary" events.
Non-binary doesn't equal woman-lite.

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people.

There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.

Headline - Nick Clegg: Artists’ demands over copyright are unworkable Strap - The former Meta executive claims that a law requiring tech companies to ask permission to train AI on copyrighted work would ‘kill’ the industry

“Then die”

Still shocked at the number of people I talk to who think (rightly!) AI is a threat to digital media and are fighting to keep it out of our work and then admit to using ChatGPT for like meal planning and making funny pictures. It’s all the same shit!! Stop it!!

luo binghe DID babytrap shizun it’s just that he is the baby

Twitter post from @rifflexielian: "Terfs need to shut up about womanhood, my mom was raised to believe all women were less valuable than men and cried when she learned about trans women because the idea that someone would fight that hard to be a woman was radical for her and meant it was something worth being

There's a transmasculine version of this. If someone assigned female can become a man, it means there's nothing so special or powerful about men.

Each of us has the biological truth of equality between the sexes within us, as demonstrated by the ability of some to pass from one to the other.

Are you a federal employee, contractor, or other worker in the DC area who's been illegally fired or whose job is in limbo because of Elon Musk? Come to the Senate to meet others in the same boat and share your story with Senate offices. We meet every day at 10am.

The Daily Beast tweet: “Steve Bannon whipped up the CPAC crowd by talking about the possibility of Trump staying in office for a third term - and concluded his speech by giving a provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally last month.”

I am so sick of this shit. It’s a Sieg Heil. It’s a Nazi salute. Anyone who sees it knows. It’s ridiculous that legal departments presumably won’t let media call it what it is. Bannon made “a provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally”? Fuck off.

The Impact of Age Verification Measures Goes Beyond Porn Sites As age verification bills pass across the world under the guise of “keeping children safe online,” governments are increasingly giving themselves the authority to decide what topics are deemed “safe” ...

Age verification laws are right up there with real names policies in the pantheon of "you think this is going to help people, but it's actually quite disastrously bad" ideas.

Hey I just wanna stress something that is always true but in this presidency and political climate is double triple quadruple true: no matter your industry, never ever ever trust HR. Confide in them nothing. You’re not disabled, you’re not trans, whatever. They are beholden to their bosses. Not you.

Billionaires Should Not Exist Yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure.

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure.

God, if only there was some way to have prevented this tragedy... Like implementing a robust public option so people aren't made desperate when their health insurance denies them life-saving care in order to enrich investors... Or comprehensive gun control...

But I guess nothing could be done. 😔

Of all the founding fathers, Ben Franklin would immediately get this entire scenario

Engels on 'Social Murder' When one individual inflicts bodily injury upon another, such injury that death results, we call that deed manslaughter; when the assailant knew in advance that the injury would be fatal, we call this deed murder. But when society places hundreds of proletarians in such a position that they inevitably meet a too early and an unnatural death, one which is quite as much a death by violence as that by the sword or the bullet; when it deprives thousands of the necessaries of life, places them under conditions in which they cannot live - forces them ... to remain in such conditions until that death ensues which is the inevitable consequence - knows that these thousands of victims must perish, and yet permits these conditions to remain, its deed is murder just as surely as the deed of the single individual ... Engels, The Condition of the Working Class in England (1845 [1967]), p. 126 (Panther Press)

The idea of “social murder” is super useful, and we need to get comfortable using it. Engels is the best, man - reading him feels like finally acknowledging the obvious reality everyone wants you to ignore

One former Cigna executive recalled how the US health insurer used to frequently face threats when claims were denied. “We’d have times when you’d deny proton laser therapy for a kid with seizures and the parent would freak out,” said the former executive. Another industry executive said: “What’s most disturbing is the ability of people to hide behind their keyboards and lose their humanity.”

this is so perfect youve gotta think it was intentional

I hope there’s cake wherever you are 🎂🎈

I once had a professor ask “Why is there a Business section in the newspaper but not a Labor section?” My classmates and I probably rolled our eyes, but damned if I haven’t remembered that question every few days for 30 years now.

digital comic of Wei Wuxian, holding up a scroll with a bunny drawn on it next to other small items. He says, "Yunmeng's smallest rabbit species is the pygmy rabbit, from the Lotus Pier area. I'm seeking a grant to introduce them into the Cloud Recesses." The second panel has Lan Wangji, Lan Qiren, and Lan Xichen drinking tea at a table. Lan Xichen asks, "Are they native here?" Wei Wuxian answers, "No..." Lan Qiren asks, "Will they control some invasive pest?" Wei Wuxian answers, "Dunno!" Lan Wangji asks, "Then. Why."

digital comic of Wei Wuxian, making his case for tiny bunnies. He slams the scroll down on the tea table and yells, "I don't understand! Don't you see how small they are? They're so round! Those tiny ears!" IN the second panel, Lan Qiren says, "I see. I'm afraid we'll be denying-" But Lan Xichen interrupts to say, "But... those ears... the little feet..." Lan Wangji says, "I vote to fund."
