If you say we have to vote for non-trans-supportive Dems to stop Republicans… 1. Would you say that if they supported literacy tests at the polls to "cut down on illegals voting"? 2. Would you say the same thing if they said they support bans on abortions until the woman has 9 months of therapy?

I've just been having a noodle through a lovely site: Big Box Collection. There, you'll find scans of big box microcomputer and DOS/Win PC games that you can rotate around and have very high levels of detail. You can also see what came inside them, too. bigboxcollection.com/Shelf

This hit me hard. I'm in a "safe state" that people tell me I'm lucky to live in. But my reps, even the queer one, tell me I'm overreacting too. For now, I can get my care and have some extra. On paper, I'm the wrong gender in case I lose Obergefell. I'm scared for my wife every day, even here.

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.

The article says immigration agents took this kid's phone. And then the phone showed up for sale at a vending machine near an ICE facility? Did ICE agents STEAL and SELL this kid's PHONE? This obviously isn't the worst of what's described in the article. But it tells you something.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

People sometimes ask me what harm AltNPS is doing, and it's this. This right here. AltNPS didn't do ANYTHING for this cause, and never even mentioned it before today. @protectparks.bsky.social is who made the difference (among others), but lots of people will now believe it was AltNPS.

A commenter replies to AltNPS's post about Sen. Mike Lee backing down on gutting the national parks:

(shouting sans caps) This is the best news I've heard all year!
Big kudos you guys and everyone who campaigned and stood up to protect our public lands. Huge win for wildlife, rare plant species and the public morale. Alt National Park Service, you have done a wonderful thing! 🙏

The structural break after which we were no longer a full democracy, when 5 Wizards In Robes decided they were a super-legislature & counting all the actual votes didn’t matter. The rest has been 25 years of commentary.

There's a pretty great Tumblr post about this:

A Tumblr post from user "nitewrighter," March 26.

Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now?

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.

Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

New, w/ @mulchy.bsky.social & @djbyrnes1.bsky.social: ICE shot & killed an immigrant in the Chicago suburbs yesterday. Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events. Chicago erupted in chaos and a father who lived here for decades is dead. This is what really happened:

What happened to Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez

Immigration agents shot and killed an unarmed 38-year-old father outside Chicago on Friday—and their initial narrative of events was quickly disproven by videos captured by witnesses.
