Don't be afraid to call things by what they are. MAGA is a terrorist organization, ICE is a secret police force conducting Ethnic Cleansing, Elon Musk is an oligarch, and Trump is a foreign backed coup d'état figurehead. This is not an administration, this is a regime, and your country is occupied.

Boosting visibility here, especially because I’ve advocated for Proton in the past.
It’s reasonable to worry that tech companies’ backbone for protecting users from government data requests "might soften when they get too politically involved with any one administration," EFF’s Andrew Crocker told @theintercept.com.
Proton Mail Says It’s “Politically Neutral” While Praising Republican Party
The “privacy-first” company surprised its user base when CEO Andy Yen lauded Trump on social media.

TFW your meth head neighbors finally wake up from their stupor and start asking where their cat is. It was 4 degrees for a week, your cat would’ve been dead if we didn’t build her a heated shelter in the garage, let alone the hundreds of $ we spent clearing up her eye and ear infections

Easiest assignment ever. Lieutenant Uhura.
Hard mode: name a FEMALE non-LOTR character that could resist the One Ring.
I saw someone say Granny Weatherwax, but I have not read so I can’t be sure.
The only other woman I saw was Princess Leia and I’m sorry but that woman would be a dark emperor in a heartbeat & the galaxy would be well-run.

In Texas, GOP State Rep. Jared Patterson sponsored a book ban targeting “sexually explicit” material in school libraries.
So a superintendent removed the Bible from shelves.
Patterson is now doing damage control, insisting *that’s not what he meant.*

BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers:
Reskeet this if you refuse to pay for BlueSky+ until trust & safety decides to prioritize marginalized users.
That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...

not having a strong policy around stochastic terrorism is one of the big reasons Twitter became so toxic and unusable for many people the last few years. (I worked there and saw first hand how much they waffled on this specifically) Don’t be fucking wimps like they were and actually have a stance.
