This gives away the whole game, as people have been warning for years and years. This is identity erasure of a whole class. the precedents for having documents revoked by group…are not good.

So the interference with s2 of OFMD really was indicative of HBO as a company huh.

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance.

Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

Manchester says no to hate 🀍

A Britain First demonstration in Manchester was met by a larger counter-protest of local residents and over 30 grassroots organisations opposing racism and division.

If you hear people complaining, remind them that Dems offered to split out ICE and CPB and fund everything else, including TSA. Republicans said no.

I love how BBC's "Uncle" treats Val's identity. It's not a punchline. There's no stereotypes. It's not tragic. It simply is. She's genderfluid, but she's also a businesswoman and a Dad. Val isn't dangerous, delusional, or any of the horrible things people call trans people. She's a human being.β™‘

What I love about this is what it says about Ed as well - intercourse has the obvious meaning, but also means an exchange of thoughts/feelings *and* connections between people.
He's not about to tell Hornighost what he really wants, so surface level, he's saying he wants sex but under that-

Anger storms
between me and things,
transfiguring,
transfiguring.
A good anger acted upon
is beautiful as lightning
and swift with power.
A good anger swallowed,
a good anger swallowed
clots the blood
to slime.

"A Just Anger" by Marge Piercy

Anger shines through me.
Anger shines through me.
I am a burning bush.
My rage is a cloud of flame.
My rage is a cloud of flame
in which I walk
seeking justice
like a precipice.
How the streets
of the iron city
flicker, flicker,
and the dirty air
fumes.

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, β€œObama: Dems need to avoid scolding and β€˜virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.
