Religion note: Remember that pastor who was arrested protesting an ICE detention facility outside Chicago recently? The one who was photographed on the ground as officers arrested him?

That's Rev. Michael Woolf, and this is his church.

As someone who has yelled about these laws and their terrible privacy violations and security problems, please be aware they're in effect or coming into enforcement rapidly.
Missouri’s age-gate law took effect earlier this week, meaning 25 US states have passed a form of age verification.

“The thing that people misunderstand most about age verification is that it actually applies to all of us ... Everyone will have to interact with this.” www.wired.com/story/age-ve...
The Age-Gated Internet Is Sweeping the US. Activists Are Fighting Back
Half of the country now requires age verification to watch porn or access “harmful” content. Digital rights advocates are pushing back against legislation they say will make the internet less safe.

As of Monday, Trump has fired over 100 immigration judges, essentially on suspicion of them being judges, as opposed to sure-thing compliant cogs in the mass deportation machine

The president doesn’t want immigration judges who handle cases by the book. He wants immigration judges who will rubber-stamp his mass deportations agenda.

If new proposals detailed in an FDA memo are put into place, experts told me it would mean the end of annual flu shots. And end of most vaccines for pregnant people. And maybe the end of updates to pneumonia vaccines. And more.

Of course there’s a fucking point to getting angry at organisations dropping trans people out of fear. It should be shameful and they should be confronted with our feelings of anger and betrayal. To pretend we do this instead of targeting the court government sex matters etc is disingenuous bullshit

"the issue isn’t that we need more 'boy-friendly' reforms. It’s that boys are socialized to compete only with boys and to read girls’ success as illegitimate or emasculating. The result is dissonance, resentment, and disengagement for boys—and hostile climates for girls."

-4 cups water
-4 cups 70% isopropyl alcohol
-~1 cup white vinegar
-orange essential oil drops (for smell)
