My sign from Saturday.

A poster depicting weird little elf saying "No kings!", a reference to the MST3K short Spring Fever's "No springs!" A broken crown lies adjacent.

MASSIVE good news for trans people in the United States. A federal judge has just granted class action status to transgender people looking to update their passports. This means that very shorty, the window will open to update your passports with the correct gender marker.

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I’ve been made redundant at my job. If you want to hire an excellent Apple platforms developer (iOS, etc.) with 17 years of experience, time at Apple, and lots of SwiftUI experience, or a great Ruby on Rails developer, reach out.

Full-time or freelance. Ready to go immediately. Please spread the word. #Swift #RubyOnRails #GetFediHired

@headclouded fantastic! I should count my blessings I suppose. The first connection I had at the old house was IDSL. 144k symmetric. I learned a lot about iptables QoS that year. :)

@headclouded soooo jealous. It wasn't available at my old house. We moved about 2 miles. Now, it's available at my old house, but not this one. 🤦‍♀️

Had you asked me yesterday
I would have told you
that I was worried
this summer would be defined
by cases of razor blade throat
and boots stomping on faces,
but if you ask me now
I must tell you
that I am worried
this summer will be defined
by something even worse.

Are you a journalist who needs advice for how to prepare your electronic devices for travel across the US border?

EFF and Freedom of the Press have you covered: freedom.press/digisec/blog/bor

@elizabethjacobs.bsky.social I can attest to this. We marched against ICE in Chicago yesterday. My body is a wreck but my heart is full.

There’s an overwhelming number of awful things happening. My gentle suggestion is to consider attending a protest tomorrow if you can. In addition to exercising your rights, it can be helpful to be in a sea of people who share your values. MAGA has exploited this, and now it’s our turn.

"The CBP🚨confirmed that has been flying Predator drones over LA amid the protests. These drones are military-caliber UAVs used for aerial reconnaissance that can be armed. It further breaks the seal on federal involvement in civilian matters."

"Military commander says about🚨 200 Marines have moved into Los Angeles & will protect federal property & personnel."

«Women are absorbing the emotional fallout of a crisis they didn’t create». 🥲

«Women feel as though men aren’t doing enough to support gender equality, whereas 60% of men believe they’re expected to do too much». 🥲🥲

«A recent survey exploring young men’s health in a digital world, 55% of the young men who watch masculinity influencers believe that women don’t care about men. My research shows that women do care. They just want relationships that don’t lean on traditional gender roles». 🥲🥲🥲

It is fascism.
At a journalism event I asked about using the word so journalism can cover and explain it. I was told that we can't call fascists fascists because it would put off the fascists.
This is fascism. Those who refuse to identify it are not doing journalism.

Every member of the Congress needs to condemn this, and fast. Especially the Republican ones who have so far demonstrated nothing but cowardice and fascism-adjacency when it comes to Trump. This is the time to stand up for democracy or else get the F out of this line of work. x.com/Elex_Michaelson/status/1

A Mexican-American friend who lives here on a Green Card and is the mother of five US citizens, including a US Army Vet and an LAPD officer, just collapsed into my arms crying, saying that she no longer drives on the freeway because she's afraid of being stopped by ICE and kidnapped.
