By a 2-1 opinion, the Ninth Circuit just held that the president can federalize the National Guard forces and deploy them when protesters shine flashlights in the eyes of ICE officers. It’s one of the most dangerous and legally flawed court decisions I’ve seen this year. 1/23

really should get around to writing my take that "AI uprising/robot uprising" fiction is just barely sublimated fear of domestic slave revolt
It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends

an end to death would mean an end to all human liberty forever. the only purpose of immortality is to create a permanent ruling class who will lord over the rest of us as cattle and functionally as gods.

they threw a brown person in a gulag for being brown
One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.
An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."
The other said, "Take him anyway."
So they did.

There's a line from the Season 2 Episode of Stargate SG-1 that I think about at least once every day.
"We are watching good men die in slow motion."
So are all of us in real life. In Palestine. In the American carceral system. In poverty. In hunger.
Why are we gawking when we could be helping?

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

After Obergefell v. Hodges overturned the Federal ban on gay marriage, conservative groups like The Heritage Foundation openly stated they were pivoting to attacking trans people as the easiest targets, to use victories against trans rights as ammunition against the rest of the community
When Hitler started ranting about the Jews from streetcorners in the 1920s, he was part of a long history of European anti-Semitism.
But where in the world did this massive anti-trans campaign come from? I feel like it was invented out of whole cloth in the last five years.

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence.
This is a campaign of eradication.

Anyone find it funny how when the UK releases the Cass review to ban trans care, we get everything ranging from New York Times push notifs to op-eds in every major US paper...
But when Germany, Switzerland, and Austria release pro-trans youth care guidelines, not a single article anywhere but mine?

It is as bad as you think.
You’re not crazy.
But you’re also not alone.
We’ll get through this together somehow, but the country will likely look very different.

alright you wanna know how to support trans people?
hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit.
Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.
