I deleted TikTok back when the Oracle purchase was announced but if you've still got it, you GOTTA dump it. Especially for trans folks. It straight up says in the new TOS that they--Oracle, the company that has active ties to the Trump admin--are monitoring and documenting trans and NB users.
According to its new privacy policy, TikTok now collects more data on its users, including their precise location, after majority ownership officially switched to a group based in the US. www.wired.com/story/tiktok...

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

These are concentration camps. And these are the numbers they're comfortable sharing.
This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

Congressional Democrats need to go all out against Trump. They have to look like a genuine and credible opposition party at home *and* abroad. Under Schumer and Jeffries, they aren’t it.
The incredibly lukewarm Democratic response on Greenland is being noticed in Europe, incidentally.
Chuck Schumer not finding a stronger word than “quixotic” for Trump’s plan to seize Greenland has been name checked to me more than once.

But Americans who want to save the alliance with Europe must have no illusions about how bad a condition this transatlantic partnership is in.

What you’re actually looking to criticize is willful ignorance: the choice to be uneducated or uninformed or misinformed in order to fulfill a morally corrupt agenda.
*Choice* is the operative word. Because intelligence (whatever that is) can’t be chosen
And CHOOSING ignorance IS morally bankrupt.

When Democrats regain power in Congress, we must take on ICE and Border Patrol’s abuses of power.
The immigration system is civil, yet Trump is treating it as a criminal one and locking up tens of thousands of people. It is not just and we will not let it stand.

Half the battle with this guy is just reiterating government can and already does good things that are so ubiquitous they’ve become invisible. He’s able to remind you in a way that you understand that good government can exist outside of a 24/7 vengeance operation, and in NYC already does.

The reason why Dems like Newsom feel like they can't poll well on supporting trans people isn't because trans rights doesn't poll well.
It's because they hate trans people too much to be able to explain why they support our rights to exist, even as a lie. They look like idiots and cede the issue.

"Do you think it would be a good idea or a bad idea for the U.S. to use military force to take possession of Greenland from Denmark?"
Good idea: 4%
Bad idea: 71%

4%. He did it. He finally hit Lizardman's Constant.
