I just saw someone trying to make a statement to Portland cops only to be told they had to walk away from them with their hands over their head like they were some sort of fucking criminal when they were a witness to somebody trying to draw iron.

So, how do I find out my leftist social credit score? I thought it was only in China, but apparently we have it here too. Who do I need to submit information to to find out if the person that I brought into my home to help me recover from years of neglect and abuse from a former live-in person is

Just poking in to let everyone know I'm alive, and safe, been getting myself free of an abusive living situation and working on getting my own life together again, while recognizing that most of what I can do regarding the ongoing protests and such is not on the ground.

We're on it.

Government buildings aren't pulpits — and flying a Christian flag over City Hall is a clear violation of church/state separation.

We’ll be working to correct this unconstitutional action and defend the rights of all Hartford residents.
Hartford raised a Christian flag at City Hall… again.

It was illegal the first time.

It's illegal now.

The City Council was warned—and did it anyway.

It's a blatant violation of church/state separation.👇

City of Hartford flies Christian flag at City Hall, despite warning from lawyer
The 7-2 vote ignored legal precedent as well as the city’s own ordinance. It's a gamble that may not pay off.

I know this deserves more of an explanation, but I can't give one at this moment.

This is very confusing. Jessie consistently puts out incredible content, she never fails to credit the source, and everything is used in fair use?

@paramountplus.bsky.social @paramountpictures.bsky.social @googleyoutube.bsky.social is this something you can look into here?

#StarTrek #Section31
Honestly kinda pissed off that all my fellow Trek YouTubers (most cis white dudes) have been able to release their Section 31 videos, but CBS has decided to block mine, the one made by a trans youtuber, so now my views will suck by the time it can come out.

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked."

She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.

Amazing work on the 'last' ups and downs from @seanferrick.bsky.social and @editkrisedit.bsky.social ... Have to say when SF sent a 'shed' (thanks for the sight gag, Kris), all I could think of was them getting S.H.E.D. from the Phineas & Ferb/Marvel crossover ... www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPDw...

Just gonna say, I do not envy the work that @seanferrick.bsky.social and @editkrisedit.bsky.social are about to have to start for LD's finale.

But yet, at the same time, I know those two will give it the sendoff she deserves.

Please read this. Billie is an excellent communicator on how epistemology shapes our policy. Believing trans people are who they are is far better than simply accommodation of us.
The reason that trans people aren't willing to make "reasonable concessions" isn't that we don't know how to compromise (we have been compromising our whole lives), it is because the call for concessions comes from a paradigm that invalidates who we are.
