this bill is legitimately a three-alarm fire. if they manage to define trans existence as explicit then there is nothing stopping them from genocide. i need every single cis person talking about this, calling their reps, getting out in the streets.

I would also suggest finding, if applicable to your state’s vote by mail rules, your local ballot drop box and/or county elections office.

Ballot drop boxes are a (mostly) secure way to drop off your ballot without having to mail it. County election offices will take a ballot with an appointment.

β€œTech companies OpenAI and Palantir, facing mounting pressures to deliver results amid compounding losses, are expanding their offerings in company vending machines to include Kratom, amphetamines, and alkyl nitrates. Use is not mandatory, but heavily encouraged by management.”

Hackers Expose Age-Verification Software Powering Surveillance Web Three hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet.

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel.

The Meaning of Marco Rubio's Munich Speech Is Found in The 'Board of Peace' A new institution is being born. In Munich, Marco Rubio outlined a certain purpose. When will the two join up?

There’s a simpler way of saying this:

Donald Trump is using every tool and dirty trick at his disposal to extract as much wealth from the American people as possible in as little time as possible and skirt any consequence.

I hope Roy Cohn’s toasty wherever he is.

Catholic rituals blend with Neapolitan folklore in pilgrimage for queer community MERCOGLIANO, Italy (RNS) β€” The pews of the Church of the Annunziata in Mercogliano, a town just outside of Naples, were filled with guests wearing lacquered nails, towering wigs and heavy eyelashes.

Updating the tracker and I came across this fascinating story of trans and/or non-binary trans life woven into the Catholic practices of Naples, Italy.

For the photo alone I felt like I had to share it - but it's fascinating throughout. From @apnews.com

State violence against Black Americans laid the groundwork for fascism | Jason Stanley Fascism feeds on the arbitrary killings that have long plagued the US. Ending the horror starts with abolishing ICE

β€œAs Ida B Wells noted in her 1892 book Southern Horrors: β€˜They forget that a concession of the right to lynch a man for a certain crime … concedes the right to lynch any person for any crime.’”

Oof. His gut microbiome probably pumps out straight CS instead of flatulence. Cheryl Hines must be in constant misery when they are in the same space together.

there's a reason the Nazis went after Raoul Minot for documenting the German occupation in photographs.

fascists want to own the record: the power to reshoot history, frame by frame, until their preference becomes the only memorable reality. generative AI is the culmination of that desire.

Mills recognized that as the power elite becomes increasingly degenerate, it is increasingly difficult for their intellectual acolytes to formulate reasonable ideological justifications for their corrupt and irresponsible actions. In these circumstances, the power elite resorts to intellectual repression against those who call attention to their declining political capacities; that is, the intelligentsia who work in universities, museums, the arts, scientific institutes, entertainment, and the mass media.
