If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

Perhaps now people will stop wishcasting about the US military refusing illegal orders. That's not a thing that happens. The 100% compliance rate with using civilian boats for target practice was a bit of a tell.

Similarly, releasing a zine last year netted wayyy more income than any online work I did. It was my best paying writing job of 2024 and I got to do wherever I wanted. It's not on the internet outside of my gumroad and when it is it'll be in a free archive. Great!

This is probably what’s going to drive me insane in the weeks and months ahead. Trump’s fascism is going to be presented alongside sports news and wordplay about new animals at the zoo, like all of this is normal.

News alert: Good Morning America
Troops arrive at the Southern border, battle for the Super Bowl and panda-monium at the National Zoo. Watch

I think it's really beautiful that a piece of transfeminist writing firmly committed to epistemic JUSTICE for ALL transfeminine people is so popular in our community and that this popularity has propelled it to a level of visibility in a cis space that would normally be denied through epistemicide

IMPORTANT!! 🚨 Surveillance state update — From a friend with informed intel. No more crowd photos of any kind, friends. I’m sorry.

There is an AI company called GeoSpy, the AI is designed to look at a photo (any photo) and tell the user where that photo was taken. They initially opened it to the public, but privacy concerns led to them going private. And now they sell to the folllowing: law enforcement, government and insurance. I know we’ve been saying “don’t fucking take pics at protests” for years? But I think we need to escalate that to “don’t take pics at pride. Don’t take pics at queer events” etc

Just remember that there is nothing in the law that said Trump couldn't be prosecuted after being elected. It's simply "DOJ policy." The idea that the USA is a nation of laws is absolute b*llshit.
