Please don't add me to any starter packs without asking first

My goal is to be as kind as I can, but still curb-stomp racists, bigots, sexist, & anti-LGBTQIA+ jerks, & fight for abortion rights

This thread has critical information for folks who are lgbtq+, especially trans. Please share it widely so people can get the information they need to make careful, well considered decisions.
Here’s the official rights you have under the Global Convention on Human Rights. Bear in mind some countries [particularly Western ones] will be reluctant to upset the new US far right administration: www.unhcr.org/ie/what-we-d...

I had an organization reach out to me for permission to wheatpaste my work around the city where they operate. I said “yes.” If you want to wheatpaste my work, please reach out to me so I can provide specific files for printing large versions of my images. Additionally—

Sorry about the brief return to regularly scheduled discourse, but I'm so tired of the "trans kids don't exist" tripe.

Where do trans adults come from? As a trans adult who endured nearly 5 decades of internal conflict/trauma, I can tell you most know they were once trans kids.

Trans people don't typically just poof into existence in adulthood. Trans kids deserve to be accepted and to have access to the medical and mental care they need.

Period. 🩷💕

Newsom's already calling for a joining of hands with the Nazis and let atrocities be bygones.

Yet another reason Newsom is a nonstarter. And a hypocrite, tbh given his troll posture the other 23 hours of the day when he isn’t spouting this ripe garbage.

The “breach” is not of decorum, but of whole communities and families destroyed, lives lost. No, I don’t think we’ll be “turning the page”

🚨 Minneapolis: Hostile “Press” Thread 🚨

Best practice to ask your interviewer what outlet they are with and if you can see their X account to avoid harassment.

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to:

* 8 people shot
* 5 of which were U.S. citizens
* 2 died
* no victims drew a weapon

The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire

A WSJ visual investigation found that the Minneapolis ICE killing is one of 13 incidents where federal immigration agents have used deadly force against civilians in vehicles since July.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Because a witless band of racist boot stompers called Pine Tree Riot are in the news via ICE's use of their shanty to recruit new killers, I think it's worth revisiting Pussy Riot's 2012 "Punk Prayer." www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCas.... Translated lyrics here: www.theguardian.com/books/2012/a...

Actually, this is VERY alarming and possibly worthy of investigation by security forces. An anti-trans group were allegedly planning to map trans people! What good could ever come of that! Worrying af!

Reminder that the argument against GenAI has MULTIPLE points and all matter:

1. It is theft
2. It puts people out of work
3. It uses disproportionate resources
4. It removes artistic agency

Do not let someone go "but they don't do 1 and 2!" Distract you from the others

I have to say, as a man with two mothers, I find the derisive deployment of language like "lesbian" and "lover" by those on the far right who are trying to justify Renee Good's death particularly disgusting and dehumanizing. These women. They are wives. They are a family. That's it.

In case you've seen the story about “grok now only generates images for paid users”, it's untrue. Apparently everyone just reported it because… it was what grok told them 🤦🏼

No, Grok hasn’t paywalled its deepfake image feature

A benefit of having a gazillion little indie news outlets is that we're much more difficult for the administration to suppress. Titans can be felled. A swarm has no weakpoint to target.

Thanks to @mallorycarra.com for telling the story of independent journalism as a tool of resistance in the US.
