I agree with this take on why the Trump regime is spreading a video in which the ICE agent in Minneapolis says "Fuckin' bitch" after shooting a woman to death. You'd think they'd want to hide that, but no.
they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

Homeland Security is demonstrably lying, which we know thanks to the bravery of the protesters who filmed the whole thing.
The wheels turned away.
ICE shot her in the face multiple times, in broad daylight, anyway.

I’m not sure how to even express my feelings at how absolutely terrifying what Trump is doing right now. It’s so blatantly illegal, intentionally so, and so flagrant and disgusting. Fuck this man, and fuck this country’s imperial machine.

Apologies for sliding into this conversation, but there's also a really good video essay by @jessiegender.bsky.social that just dropped the other day about the current state of SNW, and how...deeply disappointing it is (in her opinion, my opinion, and that of many others)

There are entire movements built on denouncing support for Palestine as antisemitism.
Opposing Genocide does not mean you hate Jewish people or all Israelis.
It means you have a fucking soul.
We ALL need to stand united, reject those who seek to divide, and fight to end the Genocide.

This is a long thread (oh, and garbage accounts will get blocked):
This whole “men and boys are in crisis” thing is nonsense .
YES, patriarchy is destructive to everyone. That’s what many of us have been saying for some time now. You’re just beginning to notice. GOOD.

There are 510,000 NCAA athletes. Less than ten are transgender. The GOP doesn’t care about protecting women. They celebrate and empower men who assault women. They force pregnant women to carry their rapist’s child to term. They target a tiny, vulnerable community to scare us and consolidate power.

YES THIS HAPPENED. Also in a general sense if ASL interpreters are working one of my events and there is time, I try to give them access to any prepared materials and generally go over things that I suspect will present an issue for them. The idea they're not needed or useful is shitty ableist BS.
Reminds me of the time at WorldCon when an ASL interpreter completely stole the show from Scalzi by signing the HELL out of a short story filled with weird alien words. Scalzi was laughing too hard to read half the time.
ASL interpreters are valuable and amazing and must be protected.

Imagine being threatened and irritated by ASL interpreters. Shut this shit down. There is no validity to the "point", they are not valid, shut up, go away. Sick of these snowflakes.

It’s not getting the attention it should since it’s being lost under the “getting rid of fact checkers” thing, but FB’s latest community guidelines updates specifically carves out queer people from protected groups and allows specific harassment of us that is forbidden against literally all others.

Cowards all: Biden signs bills with anti-trans laws, Meta allows anti-trans rhetoric, Walmart and McDonald’s ditch DEI, Disney cuts trans stories. All this & Trump’s not even in office yet. Not surprising, but it shows how quickly they cede in advance because they only ever care for money & power.
