I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

This is what happens when you get loud and demand Dems not drop trans people. We CAN get orgs to realize this. But we can’t stop with Kaptur. She’s the worst but not the only one. There is NO acceptable anti-trans vote or statement or ad from a Democrat. None. GET LOUDER!

This is why I think it's so important to push back against the personification of LLMs. If a person shoots someone while wearing a hand puppet, they can't claim the hand puppet did the murder.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.

maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

Like most other disciplines, accessibility takes practice, time, and patience. No one starts a new endeavor and is instantly excellent at it with nothing to learn. If your beginning goal is absolute perfection, you'll burn out. You'll find excuses to not try. Get started and try.

These are not interesting people. Trump doesn't have mystique; he just has power, and thus his actions have consequences for us. Power doesn't grant these people depth. It has made them smaller. Need proof? Read Musk's X feed. The only thing I want to watch is their sentencing hearings.

Note that the Flock worker specifically told Milton, Georgia police, *without prompting*, that he would only use his first name because he didn't "want them to hear [his] full name on the 911 call when they get it." This level of information asymmetry is dangerous for journalism and democracy

September is Bi Visibility Month, so perceiving me may be easier, as all bisexuals have disadvantage on stealth rolls until Halloween 1st.
BI REMINDER
💜Bisexual women are still bi even if they're dating men
🩷Bisexual men exist, and they're not "just gay"
💙Ace/Aro bisexuals, & Nonbinary
bisexuals exist
💜Sexual orientation is about attraction, not action
🩷Bisexuals dont need to have dated all the genders/gender identities they re attracted to - to know they're attracted to them

The students are amazing! 200 CO schools had walkouts. This headline is inflammatory Adult counter protester with a fully-covered face entered a student protest, was chased away, & had a sign destroyed. Later, he came back. Students threw water bottles at him. coloradosun.com/2026/09/04/c...

The majority of the afternoon's protest at La Alma-Lincoln Park played out peacefully, but the atmosphere took a tense turn when an adult counterprotester walked toward the park, holding a sign that read "I heart ICE." A surge of students pounced on the man, following him and chanting, "Nazi scum off our streets!"
A student eventually destroyed his sign.
When he returned about two hours after the walkout started, a crowd of students bolted after him, throwing water bottles at him.
One student struck him in the back of the head with a metal water bottle and he darted off, still trailed by students.
