Which, for those who don’t know, is undeniably illegal. Even DHS *grudgingly* admits that the statute giving Congress oversight of ICE facilities—passed in the wake of Trump 1.0 bc of, you know, all this the first time—does not give ICE the right to deny MOCs access, ever.

You have to understand, these are not ICE detention centers, they’re just centers containing people ICE has detained.

Fun fact: If you see someone at a nerd event wearing a vim-themed shirt, it's because they put it on in 2003 and couldn't figure out how to take it off

The decision is bullshit, and trans rights are human rights, in case my position was not previously clear.

British MPs have voted to decriminalise abortion, marking the biggest step forward in reproductive rights in almost 60 years.

(Abortion was previously legal in limited circumstances in the UK, but during COVID police began charging women under a law from 1861: they can no longer be prosecuted.)

@cstross Thoughts and prayers for her. No real medical treatment, and I'm not saying what I'm thinking/praying _for_...

Transphobic hate group "Women's Equality Watch Scotland" — a group based out of Dundee — have written to the RSPB (a bird protection charity) to complain about "Nature Walks for Women" that are inclusive of trans and non-binary people.

The walks are held in Bedfordshire. There's over 500km (300 miles) between Dundee and Bedfordshire, including a national border.

This appears to be just the latest action of Mumsnet, the far-right forum for bigots that's commonly nicknamed "Prosecco Stormfront"

Side note: I think more window managers should support *this* feature!

They have no concept of a public good, and that's not great given that we live in a fucking society.

Fortunately, @kuketzblog has published the How-to #UnplugTrump list in English

Of course someone else is writing Trump's social media posts right now.

He's in a coma after cumming so hard at the latest success of his stochastic terrorism campaign that every last molecule of moisture left him at the moment of climax.

@mighty_orbot James Roberts took these, unsurprisingly, from Tony Benn's five questions of any democracy https://solace.org.uk/five-questions-to-the-powerful/

@trixter and the rest of retro.pizza:

SPACEBALLS 2 IS HAPPENING!

Mel Brooks is in charge, Bill Pullman and _RICK MORANIS_ are back as Lone Starr and Dark Helmet.

Okay, that crawl made me laugh out loud twice. Good news for all right-thinking people.

Reminder that we don't have ANY viable power-producing fusion reactors yet, let alone aneutronic reactors capable of using 3He as fuel: and if you can overcome the coulomb barrier to use 3He as fuel you're 90% of the way to using Boron-11 as fuel, WHICH IS READILY AVAILABLE (AND CHEAP!) HERE ON EARTH.

There's no need to strip mine the moon for fuel.

Lunar 3HE mining IS A SCAM DESIGNED TO EXTRACT MONEY FROM INVESTORS. Always has been. Always will be.

5) My mom -- furious and radicalized. Her 80-something friend, furious and radicalized. The nice Catholic family law lawyer, furious and radicalized. The judge? Furious, although who knows with judges.

4) They wind up putting the kids into a state protective situation. Again, being vague. But ..

3) ICE bursts into the courtroom. Ignores the judge telling them to get out of his courtroom. Grabs the non-abusive parent, drags them out. Just drags them out.
