TRANS HOOSIERS UNDER ATTACK AGAIN!
After decades of allowing us to update our IDs, and with no evidence of a problem, the BMV is considering new rules that would BAN #trans Hoosiers from updating our ID.

Boosting is really important on the Fediverse because it makes whatever you boost federate its gayness to the entire servers of your followers. A boosted post makes your followers' timelines more gay, and also contributes to the gayness of everyone on the servers of your followers.
Instead of venture capital, the Fediverse relies on human beings sharing gayness. This process creates a wonderful rainbow of gayness.

Israeli outlet Haaretz has published an article titled “Now I Understand Why Israel Is Denying Journalists Access to the Appalling Scene in Gaza” by French historian Jean-Pierre Filiu, who spent a month in Gaza after entering with a busload of French physicians.
#israel has banned journalists from #gaza in order to hide its war crimes, making doctors the de facto western reporters on the ground. And they’re all reporting the same thing about what they are seeing.
