Last Notes npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina The thing about fascists is, they don't care if an order is illegal. If they have people who will follow the order then it doesn't matter if it's illegal. npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina That "Protecting women" executive order also declares that personhood starts at conception. npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina #HowToResistFascism npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina Me too. I'm kinda mad at Lucille Ball and Gene Roddenberry right now for setting unrealistic expectations. npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina I'm so sorry, I know how much that can hurt as a parent. The trans hate is absolutely stupid and evil, it's purely selfish and greedy. npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina Remember when in the UK, Labour fought for trans people. And then all of a sudden, they just...stopped? I get the feeling we're heading down that same path with the Democrats. npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina Instead, it looks like Senate Democrats decided to neatly split their dissent out into an amendment to be voted on separately. That way, they can vote FOR the main bill and when the amendment fails, shrug their shoulders and say, "Well, we tried!". npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina Senate Democrats Are About To Vote Into Law the First Anti-LGBTQ National Legislation in Decades. Contact Your Senator Now (Please!). " If Democrats are willing to cave to the GOP on this provision while Joe Biden is still president and Democrats control the Senate, that is an awful sign for their willingness to fight back against much broader bans on trans healthcare for minors or adults that could devastate millions of LGBTQ people once Trump is president and Sen. Thune is Senate Majority Leader." https://www.madycast.com/p/senate-democrats-are-about-to-vote npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina Thank you for these, your photos always give me a few moments of escapism where I imagine I'm there. npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina 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. npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina "Google to buy power for AI needs from small modular nuclear reactor company Kairos" I don't get it - where is the ROI on AI? But also, given that nuclear seems to be AI's power source of choice, now might be a good time to revisit or even join one of the citizens radiation monitoring sites. They're sorta like the airplane tracking sites but for background radiation levels. The information they provided proved very practical in the aftermath of the Fukushima-Daiichi meltdowns fourteen years ago. Especially since the EPA decided to reset their monitoring stations in the days after the initial explosions & fires, making before & after comparisons iffy. The company they're hiring to provide, and I assume operate the adorable little nuke plants of potential death is a start up owned by Kairos Power, which received its funding from the DoE and venture capital + private equity. I hope you will please forgive me for not feeling all warm and cozy about that knowledge. https://www.reuters.com/technology/artificial-intelligence/google-buy-power-small-modular-nuclear-reactor-company-kairos-ai-needs-2024-10-14/ npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina My apologies; my only direct experience has been with LGBTQ people who left Arab countries specifically because they could not live freely in a conservative, anti-LGBTQ theocracy. That is the reality I've learned. The rest of most such cultures is quite amazing and wonderful. npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina I'm just having trouble believing that it's legal and acceptable to be publicly gay or trans. npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina Are you saying gay and trans people can be openly gay and trans in public, on television, in advertising and so on? npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina How do you treat LGBTQ people? npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina "Donations uncovered by the Wall Street Journal reveal that Musk has spent millions to back anti-immigrant and anti-transgender initiatives." If you are trans or a trans ally, or a supposedly neutral government agency - get off Twitter. You are helping to fund and promote the attacks against us. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/10/elon-musk-wsj-trump-stephen-miller-donations/ npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina "My efforts were rewarded handsomely." Well, that's what it's all about, isn't it? I mean, he can say he's contrite now that he's ready to happily retire, and do it with a clean conscious because he's sorry. It helps to have this looping while reading the Mother Jones article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84TB8C50nos&t=50s npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina "Georgia election board requires ballots be hand-counted" Shasta County here in California did this, too. The point is to delay - not refuse - certification just long enough that appointment of the next President falls on the US House of Representatives as per the Constitution. https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/20/politics/georgia-republican-election-rules-hand-count/index.html npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina "It's not blathering, it's weaving. You have to be be a genius to follow it." npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina I remember when it first began to be used that way and ever since, I've felt that "social manipulation" would've been more accurate and less appropriative. npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina Rick Perry's full quote. He also calls Trump a, "barking carnival act": "The White House has been occupied by giants. But from time to time it is sought by the small-minded – divisive figures propelled by anger, and appealing to the worst instincts in the human condition. He offers a barking carnival act that can be best described as Trumpism: a toxic mix of demagoguery, mean-spiritedness and nonsense that will lead the Republican Party to perdition if pursued. Let no one be mistaken – Donald Trump’s candidacy is a cancer on conservatism, and it must be clearly diagnosed, excised and discarded.” https://time.com/3968398/donald-trump-rick-perry-cancer/ npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina Garland should've indicted Trump and his friends for the Russian 2016 election interference if only to investigate and document but instead let the clock run out. npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina There was so much knowledge stored in Yahoo! Groups archives and file uploads. But at least people had copies in their Yahoo! mail, right? Except in 2020 as people were being stacked like cordwood in freezer trucks, the company quietly flushed anyone's mailbox who hadn't logged on in a few months. So much was lost. npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina So he's going to be charged with breaking federal law, right? npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina No corporation should ever be trusted and they should be treated appropriately. Self-reporting, self-monitoring and self-inspecting are ridiculous concepts when capitalism and governments are involved. Especially governments that legalize money passing from corporations or investors to individuals in government or political parties. npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina Texas Republicans are making their fascist lists of undesirables again. and won't let trans people update their IDs. But that's not the worst of it. "The Texas Department of Public Safety now bars transgender Texans from changing the sex listed on their state identification card — and will track people who request a gender marker update. In an internal Aug. 20 email leaked to the Texas Newsroom, the department announced it would no longer accept court orders or amended birth certificates to change a person’s sex on their driver’s license or Texas identification card. Gender markers will now only be updated to fix clerical errors." Texas law enforcement will no longer accept court orders. Let that one sink in a bit. https://www.lonestarlive.com/news/2024/08/dps-says-transgender-texans-cant-change-sex-on-state-ids-will-be-tracked-if-they-try.html npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina That's why it's so important to have autistics as part of the hiring process for jobs in which we excel. npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina It reportedly started locking new connections out at about 100k users. But this gives them time to edit out some of Trump's worst incoherence. And then the news media will report on it as if it was him speaking live. npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina As a current meme said, "Tim Walz is the dad to an entire generation whose parents were stolen by QAnon and Fox news." npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina That would be a risky choice, given his staunch position of being pro-Israel and specifically anti-ceasefire. npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina Pennsylvania Trans Girl's Tragic Death: Horrific Details Revealed "Despite the overwhelming evidence and the brutal nature of the crime, Mercer County District Attorney Peter C. Acker announced that Watkins would not face hate crime charges. According to DA Acker, the decision was based on Watkins’ admission of being homosexual and the fact that Pauly was transitioning. " She was 14 years old. Her killer, Dashawn Dale Depree Watkins was 29. To cops and the DA this was nothing more than some gays meeting up and it went bad. SHE WAS 14 YEARS OLD. #SayHerName #PaulyLikens #ACAB https://www.transvitae.com/transgender-teen-pauly-likens-murder/ npub19t5gr2vm2ur5h77am555ts58q080djpcxu3ac2j3awltu236p96qns8rvz Frances Larina How did vivaldi affect the number of people you are following, please?
