Many were calling our government fascist for this (and the patriot act) in 2003 and the majority opinion was that’s silly and fascism could never return. Thank the 2 party system for ratcheting us into full scale fascism.

Unacceptable. Call your senators and rep and tell them that states must have the right to regulate "A.i." and this clause has to come out of this bill. If they're Republicans, tell them STATES RIGHTS!!! If they're Democrats, tell them STOP HELPING "A.I." SCAMMERS.

Don’t be confused: The Senate Republican AI language includes the EXACT SAME AI moratorium as the House bill. Almost word-for-word. This is a complete, 10-year ban on state AI regulation. Period.

A very transparent move to try to silence any other victims. And as is the case with Rowling, be very aware that if you financially support the new Sandman show, Good Omens, etc, this is the man who profits.
The author says she broke her NDA by sharing her story with the media, including with New York Magazine. Wallner accused Gaiman of sexual misconduct during the time she lived and worked on his property in Woodstock.

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

Becky Burke of Book Island (a picture book publisher in the UK founded by my fellow Tokarczuk translator Greet Pauwelijn) was "detained" by ICE at the Canadian border on 2/28. Her father asked that her story be shared in case someone can help her. He writes:

I am begging you now more than ever that while you’re advocating for trans rights (as you should) please don’t forget about intersex people. We’re impacted the exact same by the same legislation, we are losing our rights and healthcare, the only difference is no one will even acknowledge we exist
‼️ The State Department has REMOVED TQIA+ on their page of recommendations for queer travelers. This page yesterday said "LGBTQIA+" and now just says "LGB".
The federal government is trying to erase trans people from existence.

The weeks keep passing and still Ash & Willow are still waiting for their person. If you’ve never had wobbly cats before or you think you’d like to adopt them but aren’t sure what kinds of accommodations they need, please feel free to ask. We can transport within the lower 48 for the right home.
Our number one Christmas wish is for our wobbly cats Ash & Willow to finally have a forever home, after more than a year in our rescue. We know placing cats with special needs can be hard but we promise these two are worth the wait. Learn more about them & apply at crits4cats.petfinder.org
