FOR EVERY FASCIST WHO PLANS TO ATTACK DRAG QUEEN STORY HOUR, THERE ARE THREE ANTI- FASCISTS READY TO DEFEND IT. FOR EVERY BOSS WHO HARASSES YOU, THERE ARE TEN WORKERS WHO WILL BACK YOU UP. FOR EVERY JUDGE WHO SEEKS TO BAN ABORTION, THERE ARE TWENTY COLLECTIVES STOCKPILING MIFEPRISTONE AND MISOPROSTOL. FOR EVERY COP WHO IS PAID TO ENFORCE TRANSPHOBIC LEGISLATION, THERE ARE A HUNDRED GENDER OUTLAWS DETERMINED TO DEFY THEM. FOR EVERY POLITICIAN WHO TRIES TO PROHIBIT TALKING ABOUT GENDER IN SCHOOL, THERE ARE A THOUSAND STUDENTS CHARTING THEIR OWN PATHS BEYOND THE BINARY.

My latest, on ICE/CBP use of facial recognition & the larger threat it poses to our right to vote.
Opinion | ICE and CBP’s use of facial recognition technology needs guardrails — now
If left unchecked, immigration enforcement’s use of facial recognition technology could potentially trigger a constitutional crisis.

I’m sorry liberal friends, but Lina Khan fucking sucks.
There’s a reason so many MAGA types adore Khan’s populist “antitrust” efforts while at the FTC. Don’t even get me started on her 1st Amendment record.

Of course I'm worried about socialism. I mean, just imagine if Mamdani one day becomes President and nationalizes industry, imposes historic tax hikes, goes after the media, builds a secret national police force, militarizes the country, and sends people to camps.

Interesting @reason.com article from @joelancaster.com about the interpretations (and misinterpretations) of The Punisher.

Great read for #comics fans and #police non-fans.

All the “respectable” conservatives outraged at Tucker Carlson and Heritage for cozying up to a literal Nazi are full of shit. Why? Because Donald Trump invited that *exact same Nazi* to dinner in 2022 and they responded by electing him president. The GOP is already a fascist party.

Multibillion-dollar media conglomerates forced the @archive.org's Open Library to trash 500k books—a collection larger than the Library of Alexandria. Fuck intellectual property and these publishing giants that are marketing their opposition to book bans while actively attacking book access 😤

Good @cato.org post on why even if you support reducing government spending (I do), you should oppose Trump expanding the executive branch’s already massive powers to unilaterally cancel or redirect federal funds without congressional approval.

www.cato.org/blog/folly-l...
@rominaboccia.bsky.social
Cato Institute blog post by Dominik Lett and Romina Boccia Shrinking government is much needed and long overdue, but recent budgetary maneuvers by the Trump administration reshape the federal spending process for the worse. Impoundment—the unilateral pausing or cancelling of spending without congressional approval—has accompanied funding shifts that likewise lack clear congressional authorization, including for law enforcement, border control, the military, and welfare. If Congress fails to reclaim its constitutional mandate to manage the purse, this latest expansion of presidential power could become routine, deepening political polarization and eroding the foundation of the American system of checks and balances. The Problem with Executive Spending Beyond impoundment, the administration has redirected funds to finance Republican-favored priorities without clear authorization, including: redirecting $8 billion in military research and development funding toward military personnel salaries, drawing from an unspecified source of funding to cover payroll for FBI agents, pulling an unspecified amount of money from the One Big Beautiful Bill to pay ICE officials, resuming operations at the Farm Service Agency (FSA) to help distribute $3 billion in farm subsidies through the Commodity Credit Corp., and using $300 million from prior-year tariff revenue to fund WIC, a food welfare program.
