Lil Nas X deserves more shows of solidarity and support from the LGBTQ+ community.
Lil Nas is a Gay man facing an unjust arrest and imprisonment over a mental health crisis.
Gay men are unfairly targeting lately, and Black Gay men are targeted by racist policing and homophobia.
Nas deserves support!
Opinion: Mental illness in Black people is criminalized, and Lil Nas X being thrown to the ground and arrested is no laughing matter, Mey Rude writes.
Forget the 'stunts'—what happened to Lil Nas X is terrifying

I need Democratic online types to understand that because of this, Newsom is dead to me. Dead. I'd sooner vote for an actual corpse. There is no hope, none, that he'll win me over, *because he has established he is a bad person*. There's no coming back from this. Take my advice and move the fuck on.
1. This morning, California Governor said he was in "complete alignment" with anti-LGBTQ+ hate-influencer Charlie Kirk of TPUSA on transgender sports.

He also conceded on trans inmates and gender affirming care for youth.

It's so much worse than being reported.

Bsky community guidelines got updated

Please see the posts in the thread for context abt our concerns because the devil is always in how these rules are enforced. Rampant overcorrection that stifles art and gets people deplatformed who have done nothing wrong is a result we've seen over and over.
the usual vagueness is present here that is usually a bad sign to come for adult content.

bluesky is taking feedback on the guidelines at this link below. Let them know these are not satisfactory

So now that Denmark holds the EU presidency, theyre pushing Chat Control back onto the European Parliament again. That means breaking encryption & automatically scanning & flagging all private communications online.

EU fam, contact your reps:

The EU still wants to scan all your chats – and the rules could come into force by October 2025
Chat Control is back on the lawmakers' table

If one thinks that Trump is not going to stop moving forward on his authoritarian path until he is stopped from doing so, then the stories told by the mainstream media this week in response to Trump’s attack on DC suggest that they are more likely to play the role of accomplices than truth-tellers.
Our leading papers failed to stand up to Trump's criminal justice authoritarianism
The Washington Post and The New York Times editorial boards failed to hold Trump accountable for his attack on D.C. And, for paid subscribers: Closing my tabs.

This is not a massive decision or any kind of change. Costco has never carried mifepristone in its pharmacies. An anti-abortion group is taking credit for something that didn't happen, possibly to generate disingenuous left-wing ire against one of the few corporations that hasn't gone MAGA.

Keep calling. This issue can't die.

It starts with delisting games, but the likely goal is to enact a new morality police that can silence marginal groups and anyone who speaks out against the status quo.

The payment processors are feeling the squeeze! Let your voice be heard!
The recent wave of restrictions of pornography (including kink / fetish stuff) in art, games, videos, etc. by payment processors and puritan groups runs to the political sphere at top. This recent censorship is a part of Project 2025, as it turns out. It's no conspiracy. THEY WANT TO CENSOR US!

NEWS: SCOTUS allows Mississippi to enforce a restrictive internet-access law without explanation. Kavanaugh writes to say it is likely unconstitutional but he is voting to allow it, only repeating the legal rule for his reasoning.

No one else wrote a word.

Happy Monday!! When you call your payment processors today maybe ask about why they were messing with the chats for some tournaments you were watching over the weekend?

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:

“If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”

VISA and MASTERCARD are now refusing all calls related to their policy changes. So call up as a concerned shareholder, prepared to short-sell their shares to reduce financial harm and loss to their portfolios.

They're trying to ignore us. Don't let them.
