Done For Today

Texas puts a bounty on people wearing clothes that don't match their gender at birth. Drag or trans, doesn't matter. $5,000 for the person who reports them. This is fascism coming to life.

Meta handed over a user’s messages about accessing abortion medication to law enforcement. This has been happening since before Roe was overturned.

Remember that time a Trump supporter took out a gun and was ready to shoot trans rights protesters in the head in the capital of California? No? Probably because it happened only two days ago and the mainstream media is completely covering it up.

My friend the brilliant author Rachel Pollack is coming to the end of her life. She won the Nebula, World Fantasy and Arthur C Clarke awards. She is a world renowned expert on Tarot, and her books on Tarot are still regarded as the good standard. She created the first trans superhero, in Doom Patrol in '93. I will miss her very much when she goes. I am writing this at the request of her wife Zoe, to let her friends know that the end is soon, and to let the obituarists know too.

More proof that a government bailout would go straight to the pockets of the 1%: Hedge funds are reportedly offering 60-80 cents on the dollar for certain #SVB assets. This tells us 2 things: there's profit to be made on the assets of SVB *and* the 20%-40% loss would be the amount that taxpayers would be gifting to the a—holes that literally directed this meltdown.
