Musician Chuck Redd cancelled it when Trump illegally added his name to the historic building.
This is how you resist.
This is showing courage in the face of tyranny.
Thank you Mr Redd.

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.

I hate that every week there's something stupid like an Everyone Has To Drink Pee Now Bill and the alert sounds to CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES THIS IS NOT A DRILL and you really wish you could just trust them to not go for the pee drinking bill

I do think more people should appreciate that Sarah has to be selective about when she draws attention to her identity given the obsessive focus on it by some of her colleagues--she is in a uniquely impossible position. But it also makes it more impactful when she does.

there is a reason librarians very intentionally don't record this information. this is that reason
Officials in Tennessee aren't just banning books, they're now demanding information on who checked out contested (largely LGBTQ+) books, including names, addresses, and "household composition."
A librarian who was given the directive has come forward asking for whistleblower protections.

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.
Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.
Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

DOGE closes & employees worry about criminal charges because Musk has abandoned them
They’ve realized “just following orders” isn’t a defence
The department didn’t end up saving trillions of dollars, but it did kill 600,000 people through cuts to USAID. Many more will continue to die. Lock them up

You know how fascism requires a smaller and smaller ingroup as it develops?
Well so does neoliberalism.
Palestinians, trans people, disabled people...they become acceptable losses who must be sacrificed to "save democracy."
The only way to defeat fascism is to leave no one behind.

Guys this is direly important. Do not let them privatize your tax filings. The companies that own the other programs are just stealing money from you to do what you can already do for free. Survey takes less than 2 minutes to do and can possibly help keep the tax filing program free. Fuck TurboTax.

as I said earlier, there is likely not a policy on file written in big red letters that says "fuck them gays".
This does not mean Stripe's policy re: Adult Content wont/doesnt effect queer creators disproportionately. It does.
The goal remains the same. Pressure their Adult Content policies.
