The National Defense Authorization Act, which enacts the first federal anti-lgbtq law in decades and targets the trans kids of military servicemembers, just passed with 80 Democratic votes. Shameful. Will get the list of dems who voted for it shortly.
in reply to Erin Reed

Tom Suozzi, who has been one of the vocal anti trans dems, voted for it.


it is also the small progress here and there that it is so rewarding. Seeing the tooling, the teams, or the organisation taking micro steps towards agile and open mindsets. Well then it is worth the, at times hard frustation, and org politics. #OpenSource #Ospo (2/2)


Being an OSPO dude in the public sector is a hard at times. Even with my bosses support some things are at times, stuck old habits. It took one year of lobbying to set up a GitLab with CI support. Half a year and more to get https access to github.com lets not mention ssh. But... (1/2) #OpenSource


🔥 @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social: "Trump lied about an election being stolen and then sicked a mob on the Capitol. It's funny that you roll your eyes at this, Kevin, because you're the one who went down and resurrected him.” Sarah dropping a big fat truth bomb in McCarthy’s lap here. Respect.


If anyone needed any more proof that Josh Shapiro is not a politician for these times, his little performance scolding us over Luigi Mangione jokes really drove that home.


Have any of the luigi empathy scolds had a thing to say about the lynching guy they just let go scot-free?


1. I have released my first post-election anti-trans risk assessment map. The national risk is high due to potential Republican national policies targeting trans people. DC has slightly increased in risk. Wyoming and Georgia go up as well. Subscribe to support my journalism. Lets dig in.

I have been saying for a while that when it comes to understanding far right extremism, it feels almost unnecessary to monitor the dedicated extremist channels. It's all right out there in the open, often retweeted by Elon. It has the same impact, though. It's still stochastic terrorism.

By which I mean, it took over Twitter, it permeated Facebook, it literally became Trump 2.0 talking points. It cannot say enough that these narratives we are swimming from come from explicitly violent Nazi spaces, and that people are getting more comfortable with the explicit violence part.
in reply to Gwen Snyder is uncivil

There are a lot of good reasons we pushed to deplatform Nazis back in the day: they harm vulnerable people psychologically, they silence vulnerable people, they make us feel unsafe. They suck. AND. Their goal is to inspire terroristic violence.


The National Defense Authorization Act has passed a critical rule vote in the house, meaning it will likely contain the anti-trans provision targeting servicemember's kids. Rep: 211Y - 0 N - 9 NV Dem: 0Y - 207N - 4 NV Dems that did not vote are Dwight Evans, Raul Grijalva, Ted Lieu, David Scott.
in reply to Erin Reed

Also as far as the Nv's are concerned, on paper dems could have tied it up and defeated it had all 4 voted, but I imagine R's would have whipped one of their 9 non-votes if that happened.


This is horrifying story about how Florida is attempting to detransition trans prisoners calling their identity a delusion.

Trump has picked Harmeet Dhillon as Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights. She has stated that it must be "made unsafe" for hospitals to provide trans care, and frequently shares Libs of TikTok posts. She intends to target trans people in blue states. Subscribe to support my journalism.

2. The pick is one of the most troubling for transgender people across the United States. She is the lead attorney for political detransitioner Chloe Cole, who has called puberty blockers a "gateway drug" and testified to pass several state bans on trans care.
