Good read about the payment processor/Steam event. Alarming stuff.

And all the more reason to act on this, if you haven't already.

For those of you who haven't caught on yet about why defending adult content is a big ideal (other than, you know, letting people do what they want with their time and media), I encourage you to remember this:

The push toward removing adult content is concurrent with the push toward classifying queer content as adult.

This is a deliberate political strategy.

Nothing could be more naïve than to imagine that Donald Trump's effort to put the military on the streets of US cities has anything to do with "fighting crime." He himself is very clear: this is an act of war against the part of the population that does not support his autocracy.

No political party is going to protect us. We must build the capacity to defend ourselves through grassroots initiatives or watch powerlessly as his mercenaries come for our neighbors one after another until they finally come for us.

Gather the people you trust and discuss what kinds of action you are prepared to take together. The fascists are not in a position to triumph over us unless we remain passive. Get organized. 🏴

Legitimately had a nightmare last night that Wikipedia was sold to a right wing billionaire and that it lost all of its credibility in a matter of days

Charlie Kirk was shot

Looks bad too. They definitely hit a major artery with the amount of blood

So uh, content warning for those looking for it

the absolute tone shift once it became clear the shooter was a cishet white Christian man without a history of mental illness

JD Vance and Stephen Miller capitalizing on the shooting of Charlie Kirk to plan a crackdown on a wide range of their opponents is directly out of the textbook that Adolf Hitler used to consolidate power.

We must not simply identify this as fascism—we must act accordingly while there is still time.

Gonna show this in the English class I teach lol
