the legislation (defining "man" and "woman") amendmant bill has had its first reading by the nz government. if passed, women and men BY LAW will be recongised by their biological sex. this will jeopardize safety for trans, non binary, and intersex people. 🧵
Sex workers have historically acted as the "canaries in the coal mine" for internet censorship, repeatedly warning that digital restrictions targeting us are eventually weaponized against the broader public.
Maybe one day the victims of these weapons will be granted the same sympathy currently being extended to the factory that helped produce them. Until then, respect to anyone willing to stand in the gears of the machine.
People, please call your Repub politicians & raise hell. They've hidden an amend in a wildfire bill that allows them to get rid of the roadless law that stops them from mining, logging, road construction, and the selling of 59 million acres of our nat'l forests & Parks. Stop them
BREAKING MS NOW:

This is barbaric. They were not permitted to explain to the jury why they carried out the attack on the Elbit factory - which makes the weapons that kill Palestinian children. And the jury was never told they would be sentenced as terrorists. /1
I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.
i think i’ve figured out why they all think we’re bragging. American humor is very hyperbolic. we exaggerate and speak dramatically bc that’s funny to us. European humor (especially British) tends to be more dry. they are confusing jokes for ego.
"Think of the children" is the oldest trick in the authoritarian playbook. Bill C-34 doesn’t protect kids, it normalizes digital ID and erodes data privacy for everyone.
Don’t let children be used as a shield for a surveillance state.
I'm telling you right now, I'm not uploading my fucking ID to use social media and neither should you
We need to force this fascist government to throw these authoritarian bills in the trash
If they cared about kids, they'd ban GenAI everywhere. Instead they push it in schools
He is bailing out Sam Altman. OpenAI cant IPO because they are massively in debt and dont make any money so Altman runs to the White House begging for a bailout and magically 3 days later we get this.
This is the TARP bailouts all over again lol
How "rich" did we get after '08
I think about lot of Americans are too financially stressed to care but also something about the bombardment of continuous fascism has made everyone emotionally shut off
The White House will reportedly block states from making their own AI laws and, in exchange, it's indirectly backing a national age verification push.
So to post online you'd upload a government ID or do a face scan through the Kids Online Safety Act and the NO FAKES Act...
The FBI raided and arrested 7 pro-Palestine activists this morning for their involvement in student organizing at UMich. They are still targeting the student movement. Please spread the word about this. Donate to the legal fund in this thread
