I don't have something I can link y'all to yet, but I have some very credible and important information I need to share.
The American Library Association laid off what I've heard is 15 people this week.
Among them was the director of the Office for Intellectual Freedom. ALA has no OIF anymore.

christian nationalists are morally depraved
I think there are still shared norms we can appeal to when we talk to the marginal MAGA voter. But there really are no shared norms left with the core of the movement.

Criminalization is the fuel of fascism.
NEW figures show that 61,226 people are currently in ICE detention — the highest number ever in US history.
According to ICE data, 70% of these people have no criminal conviction.

Trump wants voters to believe America is ungovernable, and that the only solution is an authoritarian like him taking over.
The more chaos, lies, and misinformation he spreads, the more likely people are to tune out completely.
Do not.

Oui ou par exemple le fait que les indemnités journalières en cas d'accident de travail soient passées de 100% à 60% du salaire dans l'indifférence des médias.
Continuez de mâchouiller ces deux jours fériés à la con tout l'été 🙄
Comme ça on ne parle pas des franchises médicales de 100 €, de la fin des ALD & de la chasse aux malades en arrêts maladie. Ça ferait moins de clics & du taf en + pour expliquer que la sécu c'est du modèle social qu'ils crament.

Suppression de deux jours fériés : «D’un point de vue économique, c’est du bricolage»
Pour l’économiste Frédéric Lerais, la mesure portée par François Bayrou n’aura pas d’effet notable sur la dette et participe surtout au détricotage du modèle social français.

Update from Freedom Flotilla Coalition Press Officer, Hay Sha Wiya: "The Madleen is currently under assault in international waters. Quadcopters are surrounding the ship, spraying it with a white paint-like substance. Communications are jammed, and disturbing sounds are being played over the radio."

L'aboutissement logique de la police de la féminité c'est l'exclusion de toutes les femmes des espaces publics.
Car aucune d'entre nous ne sera jamais assez "femme", assez conforme aux stéréotypes fantasmés aux paramètres constamment mouvants.

BREAKING: A woman was kicked out of a women’s bathroom at a Massachusetts hotel by a security guard who demanded she “prove her gender.”
No badge gives you the right to sexually harass someone in a bathroom. This is what fascism looks like in real time.
And it’s coming to your city next.

Not sure if this has been shared here yet, but this is video of Rumeysa Ozturk's arrest posted by WCVB. It's terrifying.
