Mostly no one was surprised when I came out as #nonbinary about a year ago. I’m grateful for those that came before me who had to bear the brunt of the transphobia for me. I’m sad for those who live in areas that do not accept them. Sending you the love.

Emerging Crises

@emergingcrises.bsky.social

It feels like a timely moment to talk about authoritarianism in the United States. Not enough people in homeland security, preparedness, and policy circles are acknowledging what we’re seeing in plain sight, and what it means.

1/9 🧵

A dark blue chart from Protect Democracy’s Authoritarian Threat Index shows the United States rated as a “Severe Threat” with an overall score of 3.3 out of 5. It lists six categories with red and blue bars: Treatment of Media (3.2, Severe Threat), Executive Constraints (3.8, Severe Threat), Elections (2.7, Significant Threat), Civil Liberties (3.4, Severe Threat), Civil Violence (2.5, Significant Threat), and Rhetoric (3.9, Severe Threat).

I tell my friends with these high-fronted cars and they say it’s not true because the can see more they swear.

Then why are more pedestrians getting hit!

Brent Toderian @brenttoderian.bsky.social · Sep 2

“The rise in high-fronted SUVs poses a clear and growing threat to public safety, especially for children,” states the report. “With no benefit to society, it’s time for lawmakers at all levels to act.” Via @carltonreid.com in @forbes.com.

Cap SUV/truck hood heights. And ban unsafe designs.

In response to DeSantis anti-LGBTQ+ policies and attacks to the Pulse Memorial, many citizens started to paint their driveways in the rainbow colors in support of the community.
