That's the one kind of refreshing thing about the Trump admin is that they just fucking say the whole deal out loud, usually no pretense or window dressing or anything. "Yeah, we're gonna murder more Venezuelan fishers until something changes and some Very Important and Smart People assured me that this was Definitely A Good Idea."

This is definitely a "let them fight" scenario

No it isn't. These are the first steps towards declaring queer existence to be pornographic, and then banning queer content from every platform entirely. I'm sorry if this comes off as harsh, but I am so fucking tired of seeing this take from people who should know better. Please think a few more steps ahead as to what this actually means and what their real goals are. Reactionaries consistently wield payment processors like a club to deplatform anything they don't like. They've been doing this for basically decades at this point. To see hexbears going "haha silly gamers losing their titty slop games" without a single thought as to why this is happening or considering that this may just be the opening moves towards a larger goal, has been fucking maddening.

Editing to add some context: The Christofascists behind this have always seemed queer existence to be inherently sexual. Just take a look at their rhetoric surrounding the litany of book bans that have happened throughout US schools. This is just another prong in their """save the children""" (read: erase queer people from public existence) crusade.

I don't think he had any idea what to do with those responses. He just ends with "I don't think the majority of Nebraskans agree with you" as if the whole room didn't just shout him down twice.

The message was well-received by Judge Todd Lang, who told the courtroom, “I love that AI. Thank you for that. I felt like that was genuine; that his obvious forgiveness of Mr. Horcasitas reflects the character I heard about today,”

i fucking hate the future, man

Richard Medhurst arrested again, this time in Austria after literally being accused of being a member of Hamas.

textRichard Medhurst arrested in Austria and accused of Hamas membership

Last week, Austrian authorities detained journalist Richard Medhurst following a raid on his home and studio, where police seized all of his electronic devices. Medhurst is facing accusations of being a "member of Hamas" and charges under the terrorism act, which could result in a prison sentence of over 10 years.

Medhurst emphasises that the terrorism charges are a direct result of his reporting on Palestine, particularly his coverage of the Israeli genocide in Gaza. Medhurst has also pointed to British influence, suggesting that pressure from the UK played a role in his arrest.

LGBTQ+ community is not their enemy and that if they grant them their rights, it will prevent them from being used by Westerners to push for destabilization

The GDR-emblem called this the "political misuse of homosexuals" and it was the reasoning the Stasi used to propose that the SED grant queer people rights and protections, which they then did in the mid 80's. If the socialist bloc hadn't fallen so shortly after, I 100% believe that attitude would've promulgated throughout the entire bloc eventually.

That's because the "history" they venerate is just a disguised national myth.
