‘With chains around his belly, hands and ankles, the Denmark-born man realized that what he was experiencing was not a brief disruption from his many years in America, some clerical error that could be unmade in an afternoon’s discussion or with the swift intervention of a judge.’

Chilling times in the US. Chilling to see people, including this thrown-in-a-camp man, still framing it as 'I would say some of these people are victims of miscommunication.' Miscommunication.

Because I’m quite dim, I didn’t realise exactly what they had done and how extremely clever these women had been. #TransLivesMattter 👏👏👏

The government (and everyone else, frankly) need to stay out of trans people’s underwear. 🏳️‍⚧️

Moin #FediLZ und #maker,
Hat jemand Empfehlungen für einen preiswerten und zuverlässigen #Laser-Schneider für die Schule. Bei der Schnittfläche reicht mir was in der Größenordnung von 400x400mm^2 und schneiden will ich vor allem Sperrholz und MDF (vielleicht bis 10 oder 12mm) und transparentes Acryl wär gut, Metall muss nicht sein.
Danke!

OTOH, I DID expect ICE to go after the whitest possible immigrants with American families, jobs, and in good standing legally

I expect them to go after all U.S. citizens they don't like, and not years from now, but soon.

I think the people saying "White people will be OK" were underestimating.

Signal Messenger is warning that Recall, the AI tool rolling out in Windows 11 that will screenshot, index, and store everything a user does every three seconds, poses a risk to its users. Effective immediately, the Windows Desktop version will by default block the ability of Windows to screenshot the app. Of course, Microsoft provides no API to disable Recall from screenshotting specific apps, so Signal is getting creative. They are invoking a digital rights management API that blocks the screenshotting of copyrighted material.

By Default, Signal Doesn't Recall

Signal Desktop now includes support for a new “Screen security” setting that is designed to help prevent your own computer from capturing screenshots of your Signal chats on Windows.

My friend Taranis is creating #TransArchive to help preserve trans history and resources outside a jurisdiction where they'd get disappeared.

If you're in a position to help this effort, I'm sure she'd appreciate the help, but here's the announcement with the project goals.

#TransRightsAreHumanRights #LGBTQ

Announcing transarchive.eu

The TransArchive project aims to prevent the erasure of transgender and LGBTQ+ history, scientific data and mutual aid by cataloguing and archiving online data and holding it outside jurisdictions that might seek to eradicate it.

Jasmine Crockett is very good at this —

Crockett: “No person shall be removed from the U.S. without opportunityto be heard. I’d like to enter the Supreme Court decision. I don’t even like this Supreme Court. I would like to enter this into the record for all those that don’t understand what the constitution says. It’s been reaffirmed by Trump’s Supreme Court.”

Well, what a spectacular day.

Everybody in Britain basically now needs to carry their birth certificate round with them, in order to use a toilet.

I can't wait for this to begin, particularly since
a) I have a corrected birth certificate
b) Anybody can buy anybody else's birth certificate
c) Anyone remotely gender non-conforming is going to be challenged
d) Any org that doesn't challenge everyone will open themselves up to a lawsuit

I'm starting to think Phillipson will fall on her sword over this. She's ultimately responsible for what Falkner and her crack team of genius lawyers get up to.

Watch out for Blair trying to get national ID cards in to "solve" the problem though.
