Another day, another stream of people posting about Signal sucking and being “hackable” (if you go in and change the settings in the app to allow someone else access) and that if you use any phone in Russia it has automatically been hacked by the FSB. Exhausting. I give up trying to engage with it.

Pete Hegseth: OK, so at 3:30 hours, two F-18s will depart the USS Gerald R. Ford. At approximately 4:13 hours, they will strike three key Al-Qaeda training camps in the Sudanese desert with cluster munitions, to inflict as much damage as possible. Agreed?

I need every cis person that follows me to read this and genuinely think about it for a while, and I need them to understand that this is the explicit goal of this administration.

If you’re trans, you know the stories like it already; spare yourself.
In a new lawsuit filed against Trump by state AGs, a family with a trans kid shares she died by suicide last month citing fears Trump would deny her access to gender-affirming care. "Her parents have expressed fear...that what happened to their daughter does not happen to other children."
