They did not go, "Oh, let's go schedule an event in Texas!" They were going to be there for an industry conference at SXSW, and while they are in town, decided to host an event. I truly do not see how that's a "betrayal," especially as there's no organized boycott of the state.

This is abuser behavior. He's deciding what they wear. If they refuse, they're not one of "his guys." And everyone around them can see who is "in" and who is "out" and treat them accordingly.

It's another form of control.

Even as a cynical scholar of rape culture, I'm shocked that this isn't the headline story on domestic politics everywhere right now. It's just an unfathomable abuse of power, in clear violation of the law.

Really giving the game away with this, on why a grant about women's slave labor during the Holocaust was cancelled.

Meta has deliberately cut civil rights and civil liberties out of its calculus. As an internal Meta memo reasoned, “Many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.” The company presumably sees a business opportunity in the ongoing assault on American democracy. That’s where Mark Zuckerberg, Meta’s chief executive, is wrong: We are paying attention, and we understand clearly that this technology is part of that very same assault on our rights. We are always ready to fight, and we will continue to defend everyone’s rights — from both the government and Big Tech.

It was recently leaked that Meta plans to quietly roll out smart glasses equipped with facial recognition while civil liberties groups like ours are busy dealing with the Trump administration.

They're wrong. We can walk and demand Meta halt production on these creepy glasses at the same time.

Dems are winning special elections because those are new candidates. Republicans hate Dems but Dem voters ALSO hate Dem leadership (Chuck, Hakeem) for folding on literally everything. Dems will win big in the midterms, but incumbents are gonna get rinsed in the primaries.

Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful.

Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.

‘Dark, like our future’: Iranians describe scenes of catastrophe after Tehran’s oil depots bombed Residents report terror of smoke-filled city, from potentially toxic rain, air and water to food scarcity and difficulty of escape

“Tehran is burning. And smoke has filled the streets. It’s impossible to drive out of the city right now and even with the windows closed, heavy smoke is making its way inside."

Read every word.

Fire fighters have been tackling the blaze for over 6 hours. If the fire takes central station (glass roof behind) it will be logistically and financially crippling for the city.
