Ok I'm going to try and stay calm
But I'll point out that AI translation is literally causing translators to be fired (see the whole Harlequin line in France)

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

The New School owns about a billion dollars worth of art, most of which is not on display. They could sell the two Warhols they own and raise $100 million tomorrow. But they’d rather close academic departments.
New School “administrators have started to implement a plan to close, overhaul or merge about 30 academic programs or majors; pause nearly all admissions to doctoral programs; and offer buyouts or early retirement to what professors say is about 40 percent of the full-time faculty.”

British Quakers are refusing room bookings from terfs as policy.
If you were waiting for an org to stand up for LGBTQIA+ rights, and unflinchingly withstand bullying and lawfare, here you go, friends.
Good luck to the raging bigots, they'll get nowhere with threats.

They are trying to ban people with breasts from compressing them. They are trying to dictate the silhouette of your body. Ladies, they ARE coming for your yoga pants.
In addition to this administration trying to kill kids, and they're also coming for our binders? OUR BINDERS.

As the wheels keep coming off the MAGA project there will be a political vacuum, don't let libs fill it out of convenience through the prebuilt rhythms of elections and politics, Dems have been a crucial part of MAGA and will make the changes permanent.

Please read this Facebook post from Darnella Frazier about her sister Rekeya, who is in federal custody.

So there is already an ai-generated whitewashing campaign to bury the name of the Muslim man, Ahmed al Ahmed, who disarmed one of the Bondi Beach shooters, and replace his identity with a white guy name and that’s why even a thimble of our potable water powering this tech is too fucking much.

You need to read this thread and you need to be calling every representative you have and threatening to literally never vote for them again and donate your time to getting them replaced if they do this.
If you don't, it's basically the end of the internet.

It’s very simple. Genuinely very simple. Until Section 230, it was the case that any website that allowed a user to publish any content of any kind could be sued if they said *anything* libelous or bad. That includes web hosts, blogging platforms, social media etc.

This is also why the democrats are utter shit on trans rights. They've got the same media diet and same billionaire donors, telling them this.
It's why over 100 House dems just voted transphobia into federal law, why the V-coding candidate would only say "I will follow the law," etc

The incredible grassroots anti-ICE organizing in LA, Chicago, NC, and now New Orleans is probably the most hopeful political thing I’ve seen all year.

As a mental health professional, I endorse this project.
Today, in Understory (a support group for activists that I co-facilitate), we talked about the writing exercise I created to help folks get oriented for the year ahead. I don't think we can balance caring for ourselves, tending to our relationships, and taking action by accident in these times.
Worksheet: Staying Whole in 2026
If you want to enter 2026 with intention, I encourage you to take twenty minutes to write yourself a plan — not a resolution, but a map for staying intact. Write by hand if you can. Don’t worry about ...
