The idea of running anti-abortion Democrats is sickening to me. That means killing women! That is what that means!

insane that people are getting in trouble for just quoting Charlie Kirk point blank. many of these people are not even expressing support for what happened to him, just quoting him & questioning double standards in how we respond to violence. we live in a far-right culture

Today the DMV informed me that unless I bring them my legal name change order with the embossed seal from the notary it doesn't count. My driver's license from LA and my ss card from the US gov with my legal name on it are useless in proving who I am. Cool. That's not super fucked at all.

Note to restaurants: I will rearrange my day to eat at an establishment that displays a "FUCK ICE" sign. I will cancel plans. I will leave the chicken in the freezer. I will stand with you.

ate at a diner that had a "FUCK ICE" sign in the window and I've never ordered huevos rancheros so quickly in my life.

a "FUCK ICE" sign is basically a michelin star for mexican food in Los Angeles.

It's a really terrible time to be a non-binary person, a teacher, AFAB, and an SA survivor. It's day 3 of me just crying sporadically because it's all overwhelmingly too much.

“banning pornography” is bad on its own but it is imperative that everyone understand that these people consider the very existence of queer people to be pornographic they consider the most chaste depiction of a queer relationship, or an openly trans person, to be porn and they want it banned

Schools run on the free labor of teachers and coaches. Stripping us of even more resources and staffing hurts the kids. I don't understand why this nation hates its children so much.

If you grew up in a household with an evangelical right-wing parent, as I did, you already know that the dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education, like the reversal of Roe v. Wade, is the culmination of a 50-year project.

This is such a great observation. Musk has laid bare precisely how unreliable generative AI is.

Note that grok has gone fash, and Musk revealing the wizard behind the curtain of not just Grok but all LLM, exactly at the moment when many elementary schools are deciding to adopt AI learning in classrooms.
