Literally none of the time you spent calling Visa/MasterCard this week will matter if this shit passes
Yes it's exhausting to have more calls to make
But this *is* life or death
Censorship is the first stage of removing marginalized people from public life, and then from life itself

Did you know? Chromosome testing in sports has been done before and was stopped because cisgender people repeatedly learned that their chromosomes didn’t match their assigned sex. — Something the “XX and XY only” crowd seems to have forgotten.

This is going to be the vibe coding version of the Chernobyl disaster, a wholly preventable failure caused by a combination of hubris, incompetence and design flaws.

Smiling and nodding when Elon says “if we cancel something good we’ll just put it back in like we did with ebola prevention” requires you to believe that Elon Musk both is and should be the emperor.

So, I don’t care about this particular man, but I do want to point out that immigration officials pulled this woman aside after a trip to Puerto Rico, which is…not a foreign destination, which means they’re pulling and detaining legal immigrants in the regular degular airport.
Be safe.
Be safe.
This is a very sad story, but what makes me crazy is that people tried to explain that this is what would happen and got caricatured as "woke" hysterics www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Genuinely worried about mine and every other artist's small online business 🫠 USPS is what keeps shipping affordable and if it's privatized rates will skyrocket and only places like Amazon with their own fleet will be able to offer free/reasonable shipping rates.
Been anticipating something like this, especially with DeJoy leaving, but it still just makes me so, so angry www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
Trump expected to take control of USPS, fire postal board, officials say
The move threatens to upend trillions of dollars in e-commerce business and the 250-year-old Postal Service.
