Talk to your people. And again - people need to hear it. Shaming is a great tool if education doesn't do it.

From a source: Some time between 9:22 a.m. and 10:12 a.m. PT, the State Department removed the X gender option for people obtaining or renewing passports, as Marco Rubio ordered.

The entire nation of Australia gets it. Media in that country are having to blur what Elon Musk did twice in public today because of laws there regarding the Nazi salute.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

The other very likely cause of Zuck’s sudden midlife crisis and knob-slobbing of Trump: Meta is due in court for an antitrust lawsuit in April and he’s really hoping a Trump-led FTC will both a.) drop it, and b.) allow Meta to acquire TikTok
Meta Heads To Trial Over Instagram, WhatsApp Acquisitions - Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META)
Meta Platforms Inc. faces FTC allegations of suppressing competition through acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp, as trial looms for April 14.

What I found was identity theft, plagiarism and an absolutely terrifying future for local journalism led by AI scammers.

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish.
Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part.

I would like to speak up today for the trans community.
You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1

🤔 Serious neurospicy question: when you plan a task (like on a to-do list), do you consciously plan the completion/clean up as part of it?
Any ideas besides making more lists?

Feels like walking into a room full of people at a convention, where we might have things in common but I don’t recognize anyone, and my friends aren’t here yet. 🫣 I’m just going to go sit in a corner and read for a bit.
