"...if it’s OK to comply with a directive to remove information about gender, what if the next demand is that we don’t report about people who emigrated from other countries, or on people who are experiencing homelessness? What if there’s a directive to suppress data about a particular racial or ethnic group that’s unpopular? How far would we go?"

Now it only mentions natural phenomena, even though scientists calculate that nearly all of the warming is due to human activity."

Dem bill: Extend ACA premium tax credits for 3 years
Rep bill: $1,000 for health savings accounts (HSAs) of people enrolled in (high deductible) bronze or catastrophic exchange plans
60 votes needed for passage.
Bernie Sanders: "The Rep bill would make an already broken and outrageously expensive healthcare system even worse."
The GOP plan has always been to peddle high-deductible low-benefit insurance plans.

You can refuse to provide official ID or biometric data for social media accounts requiring age verification.
Actually, I bet if everyone did refuse, and let their account dormant for a couple of weeks, you would suddenly see American Big Tech transforming into the fiercest defender of your privacy rights, using their powerful network of lobbyists to fight these invasive government regulations.
They need you more than you need them.
Force them to work for your rights.
Do not comply.
In their hatred of anything they think is "modern", the Christofascists in America are now going after sans-serif typefaces. Marco Rubio orders State Department to start using Times New Roman instead of Calibri in official communication.
Times New Roman is from 1931. Caibri is from this century, sure, but fairly close to Futura, from 1927.
And yes, of course both Times New Roman and Futura are based on the style of older typefaces. Sans-serif typefaces are nothing new.
And seriously, Times New Roman? Tell me that you have very little imagination without telling me that you have very little imagination.
(I am not saying that mandating Calibri was especially innovative either, as it is (was) the default sans-serif typeface in non-current versions of Microsoft Office. Surely they could have commissioned a typeface of their own, like some even much smaller organisations do?)
Also, don't they know that one of the design principles for Times New Roman back in the days was to increase legibility in small sizes, i.e. increase *inclusivity*, which they purport to hate. I don't understand why they don't mandate Fraktur, like in the original German?

Jon Collins writes: 'Being unable to locate loved ones is a common situation for the families of people detained by ICE, said attorney Julia Decker, policy director for the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota. …
'Decker said they’re now seeing cases where ICE agents violate constitutional protections on a daily basis. She and other immigration attorneys advise clients about the rights they should have but warn about the areas where ICE agents have been violating them.
'“If this administration is able to sort of run roughshod over these laws and rules that we believed to be so well established, and there is no mechanism by which there can be accountability, or that the harms can be rectified, where does that leave us?” Decker asked.'

Last week Trump called Tim Walz the ‘R slur’.
He then doubled down on it, and now his base have begun harassing the entire Walz family.
Memes are circulating on socials encouraging people to drive past their house and yell it at them.
I’ve been personally called that word more than 1,000 times in the last seven days.
We can’t allow this to happen. The disability community has fought far too hard for far too long to remove that word from the public vernacular.
This is ableism at it’s most ugly, and ableism feeds eugenics and eugenics feeds fascism.
Help us fight back. We are not expendable.

Trump Tariffs Are A Disaster!
The Trump regime issued an executive order to temporarily exempt more than 100 food items, including citrus, beef and coffee, from tariffs it had previously defended as central to U.S. economic policy.
The order came after building consumer unrest on paying $billions in Trump tariff costs.

Well, you know, 1984.
Under this culmination of a 60-year fascistic neoliberal project, all dissent equals "terrorism".
They may be psychopaths, but their logic is impeccable.
Our governments & labour organisations since 1971 acquiesced in this fascist takeover.
And we the people sleepwalked under its scaffolding...
