White people in the #Fediverse: Here's a graphic from Andrew M. Ibrahim MD that helps me reflect on where I'm at in being #antiracist. Maybe it can help you, too.

Mike Johnson has banned trans women from using restrooms at the Capitol today, on the day we trans people mourn and honor our dead.

Johnson cited "scripture" when explaining his position on the matter.

This was an open attack on Sarah McBride, the first trans person in Congress. And any trans staffers and visitors as well, but they have no visibility.

I figure this is going to tell us how much we trans people can rely on the Democratic Party over the next four years.

Because if they won't fight for her - one of their own - in Congress, well then the rest of us have no reason to hold out hope they'll fight for us, either.

In 2060, people are going to ask why heart and brain issues are rising, and some idiot is going to say, "Well, forty years ago we wore masks and had a lockdown..."

People aren't suffering because of lockdowns four years ago. They're suffering because of the three, four or five #COVID19 infections they've had since.

The point of this blatantly unconstitutional law was to threaten and intimidate. Florida firms have mostly learned that lesson, and are happily complying and making profits under our fascist regime:

What happened to all the election fraud? The caravan of immigrants invading our border? People eating the dogs and cats? The children being kidnapped from schools for sex changes? Funny how all those immediate and devastating crises just suddenly ended, huh?

I spoke to NBC about my decision to confront Nancy Mace at a conference in DC.

“My goal is to call to the progressive tech policy community and ask ourselves, what is our strategy?. “Are we going to try and curry favor with people whose goals are diametrically opposed to human rights, or are we going to draw some lines in the sand and build a meaningful strategy for collective resistance to the role that technology will play in carrying out human rights violations?”

I had some disturbing thoughts about the election. First of all, the exit polls appear to match up with the vote totals, so I don't think there were any shenanigans involving manipulating the vote counts, but that doesn't mean there wasn't manipulation.

The comments of some of these Muslim-Americans remind me of Brexit voters who thought they were making a protest vote because they didn't think Brexit would actually win.

Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

As #Russia threatens nuclear attack, we are reminded of Ukraine's forced nuclear disarmament and the security guarantees promised in exchange that never came.

But could this legacy help #Kyiv build #nuclear weapons again?
