No action has been taken against this officer. This wasn't even a real traffic stop. Basically, this police officer chased this man because he gave him the finger. Then because abusive because he's trans.

Things may suck now, but at least they aren't as bad as they will be soon.
@idoubtit I planted some of those, but they aren't blooming at the moment. I am replacing my grass with short wildflowers. In the spring I scattered a half pound of Low Grow Native Wildflower Mix seeds in my lawn. Eventually I want a yard the stays green all year, never needs watering, and rarely needs mowing. #bloomscrolling #pollinators

So... in the US we now have an "anti-library" party. It's remarkable how many ways republicans keep coming for libraries and librarians. From the stuff in Houston where they are turning libraries into "discipline centers" and firing librarians. To the books bans and empty shelves in Florida.
Libraries are powerful and important, and if this doesn't make that clear? I don't know what will.
It is better to be slapped with the truth, than kissed with a lie.
@Trout @DeanObeidallah Your comment just reminded me of one of my favorite songs- https://youtu.be/kG-GbgKA19I

This week, I went over to Bluesky and asked people who'd left Mastodon why they left, and lots of people told me. I grabbed the replies and crunched them and wrote up a summary. I think it's really interesting and often kind of wrenching.

Dear corporate media: Please stop referring to the Trump criminal case as the “classified documents” case. Trump was charged with violating the ESPIONAGE Act so please call it what it is: The Trump ESPIONAGE case. Thanks
@DeanObeidallah And while we are at it, they need to stop calling Far-right radicals "Christian Nationalists". That's like somebody shitting in your cheerios and callingf it "fecal material." Call them what they are- God Nazis. It's simple and accurate.
the loneliest people were the ones who always spoke the truth

Apparently, the Bible verses about a talking snake are literal, but the part about forgiving everyone's debt is just a metaphor.

The secret to not being shot in the United States is:
* Be white
* Be in a big blue city
I think it's hilarious how white folk from small towns think of New York as a dangerous place.
If you visit NYC from rural America, your chances of being shot just went *down* significantly.
