I’m transgender;
I made a lot of Nazis & transphobes very angry by getting them kicked off Reddit;
I know too much about hate groups on 2015-2022 Reddit;
I am learning to read sheet music, play a keyboard, build synth patches, and I enjoy folk music & October Project.

This move, like Rubio in general, is worth mocking at face value. But also…

Calibri is apparently more accessible for people with certain visual disabilities. That’s what’s the Trump admin couldn’t abide.

A basic courtesy to an out-group is beyond the pale to this government.
Marco Rubio ordered diplomats to return to using Times New Roman font in official communications, calling his predecessor's decision to adopt Calibri a “wasteful” diversity move

Microsoft designed Calibri to replace TNR. its more legible and i believe supports more languages. but fascism is constant war and the right cant design.

Switching to calibri was about cost, not woke. It uses more ink for a serif font vs a sans serif font. More waste and abuse.

Oh, the irony…especially since the whole administration is built on Comic Sans.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

omg. Kat Abughazaleh just posted that if she's elected, she'll swear in on a copy of Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower.

If you were elected to public office (never mind whether you'd ever actually run), what book would you swear in on?

So today I found out that my TED talk ‘This is What a Digital Coup Looks Like’ was TED’s most watched talk of the year.

It’s sort of amazing & terrifying. Because this *is* what a digital coup looks like.

"The objectives are clear: to help justify the rollback of gender equality and women’s reproductive rights; to chill women’s freedom of expression and their participation in democratic deliberation; to discredit truth-tellers; and to pave the way for the consolidation of authoritarian power."

The Trump dynamic really is the Karpman Drama Triangle.

Persecute Group -> Rescue Group

Rescue Group -> Be Victim of Group

Be Victim of Group -> Persecute Group

& the other way round too

Persecute -> Be Victim of

Be Victim of -> Rescue

Rescue -> Persecute

Every. Fucking. Time.

Well this explains a whole lot of things.

like how the most voluminous antisemitic political movement on the Internet of this millennium (MAGA) managed to launder itself to be seen as a protector of Jews

This (DOJ targeting non-White people under colour of law for exercising their First Amendment rights) is why I do not, for one nanosecond, believe any memo footnotes claiming that they will not open investigations on e.g. transgender people for exercising our First Amendment rights

One thing about climate change: it disproves the capitalist ideology that poor people's suffering is their own fault.

Billionaires emit as much in a day as the world's 4 billion poorest emit in a yr, yet those 4 billion humans suffer most from climate impacts.

This is inequality, and it is evil.

Meanwhile, transgender people are being classified as domestic terrorists by the FBI

To recap:
•Rittenhouse killed 2 people at a BLM rally & raised $2M
•Shiloh Hendrix called a Black child the n-word & raised $800K
•Now Crystal Wilsey called a Black customer the n-word & has already raised $100K in 1 day

On thing remains clear—White supremacy remains extremely profitable in America
