All Nazi/fascist = report and block.

Things that give me hope:

Abused and neglected animals can not only learn to trust again, but become outrageously goofy and loyal companions, just from a little love and compassion.

Abused and neglected humans can and often do this too, and choose to raise their offspring better than they were raised.

Add to the list anything that sparks hope and joy for you, no matter how small.

Another bookstore pulls JK Rowling's books and returns them, after Rowling promised to.use the profits from .sales of Harry Potter books to harass and attack trans people.

Throw them out, build the boycott of Rowling products, books movies.

Two rainbow flags were sewn for the 1978 Gay Freedom Day parade. Each was 18 metres long. The original flags were lost for years. A fragment of one was rediscovered in 2020, and is now displayed at San Francisco's GLBT Historical Society museum.
On this day in 1978, the rainbow flag first flew as a symbol of pride. It was raised at San Francisco Gay Freedom Day.

I got laid off today. Eek!

Sporadic reminder to do a #backup of your #Mastodon account (i.e. request an #archive from your instance)!

Even in the Fediverse servers crash and instance admins turn rogue, and all of a sudden you may be left with nothing but the last archive.org snapshot of your account, so... request your archives, folks!

They say this like they are surprised. I’m always mystified why people use Facebook or exclusively create content for YouTube. It’s like they don’t understand they can yank it. They can control it. They can delete it at any point, and you have no recourse at all.

@stefano A bunch of trans groups, including transgender shitposting and several of its moderators, all got nuked too. They say it was a mistake but have gotten zero word on anything being restored.

@stefano

Somewhere in-between genuine compassion and schadenfreude, there's "brah, you shoulda known."

It's tiring to see people legitimise such terrible platforms by continuing to use them.

BREAKING: SCOTUS over liberals' dissent, blocks district court order requiring process before carrying out third country removals. SCOTUS's order allows Trump admin to carry out third country removals without the protections required—notice and opportunity to raise a challenge. No reason is given.

Sotomayor, joined by Kagan and Jackson, do not mince words: "[T]his Court now intervenes to grant the Government emergency relief from an order it has repeatedly defied. I cannot join so gross an abuse of the Court’s equitable discretion."

More to come at Law Dork: https://www.lawdork.com/

SCOTUS allows Trump admin to deport people to random countries with no notice

Justice Sotomayor called the order a "gross ... abuse" of the court's authority. Also: Law Dork in the media.

@chrisgeidner The fascists on SCOTUS have the upperhand right now.
@chrisgeidner That's it for due process within the borders of the US then. Might as well assume aductions by the state are now legal.
@chrisgeidner it’s all falling apart and we’re waiting for chuck Schumer to do something?
@arrrg @chrisgeidner Why do you think Chuck Schumer can do fuck all? He's not a wizard.
People didn't vote.
Dems don't have a majority.
Protesting will NOT change a gd thing bc Republicans dgaf about feelings.
If you're going to yell about or at anyone- yell at Republicans.
THAT is who is responsible.
And so is everyone who didn't vote straight ticket Dem.
You want change? You want power? You want a majority?
STFU and vote straight ticket Dem.
@arbres @chrisgeidner That's not true actually. The Dems could shut down the Senate. The Dems could be calling for massive protests in the streets. The Democratic party could do a lot of shit that they choose not to do. It's not that the voters are dumbasses. It's that the Democratic party fucked us all over.

@arrrg @chrisgeidner Nothing you said has any veracity.

And wow you are illiterate.
Voters fucked themselves over by not voting.
90 million morons.

Protests call attention to problems.
That's all.

Protests without voting is an ego exercise by idiots.

@arrrg @arbres @chrisgeidner
False, and foolish ta boot! Nice job
@arbres and one more thing. FUCK YOU!

@arrrg On the contrary.

Predictable response from a completely illiterate dipshit with no vocabulary.
Have the week you deserve.

@kevinrns @chrisgeidner This is one of history’s Worst Decisions Ever.

I didn’t have “SCOTUS eliminates the judiciary” on my bingo card, because it’s one of the stupidest things they could have done.

@chrisgeidner @kevinrns @skry ...yes...the "USS Worst Decisions Ever" is starting to get quite full....immunity, deporting anyone to anywhere, Citizens United, etc etc.
