There HAS to be a point where the LGBTQA+ community get together and issue a world wide CLASS ACTION lawsuit
About the only way it will stop the hatred.
Some US states have banned some books, I was commenting these hardly help the cause.
Children should read. a range of texts, but they should also be encouraged to read what they like to read, so this builds confidence to other books can be introduced.
America does not need another President bent on dividing us. It's that simple.

BREAKING: In a MAJOR win for Native American tribes, the United States Supreme Court has ruled in a 7-2 decision to keep the Indian Child Welfare Act intact.
Less surprising are the two holdouts: Justices Thomas and Alito dissented.
The act respects Tribal sovereignty and protects indigenous children, ensuring that those families and their culture will be kept whole by prohibiting the placement of the children into non-Native American homes.
Drop a 💙 if you support the upholding of the Indian Child Welfare Act.
Shows how he is so confident that he is innocent, surely negotiating a settlement could be seen as admission of guilt.
I am sure book bans are hardly helpful, to solve this.

Debian gets updated every two years to a new release, by that time it needs a full re-install or I try and do that to clear out and have a fresh start.
Today is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.

The Justice Department has launched a review into the discovery of classified documents at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, an institute in downtown Washington that Joe Biden started after serving as vice president, according to people familiar with the matter.
The White House confirmed the ongoing inquiry and said it is cooperating with the Justice Department and quickly handed over the documents to the National Archives and Records Administration — the agency tasked with handling presidential records. Roughly 10 documents were found, said one person familiar with the inquiry...

Yay, can they look in to the Microsoft images thing too.
Problem is you are dealing with companies who don't care and have got to the point where they have such a strangle hold it is very hard to break away from them.
1/4🔎#Google's harmful tracking ads business is now officially under investigation in Europe.

Disable!!! it should NOT be doing that in the first place.
It's fucking insane how addicted corporations have become to #tracking everything you do, everything you look at, everything you type, everything you think about.
They've gotten so brazen about it. Shit like this - the #Microsoft #Edge browser routing every image through some "AI enhancer" that also tracks what you're viewing - is now a default setting. I suppose at least people who use Edge can opt out, for now, if they know to.
We need #privacy legislation so badly.
Well, won't he be surprised to possibly find himself quite popular where he's going.

#PeterDavid has written so many things that so many people have enjoyed-- books, movies, comics, streaming, and more. You've undoubtedly enjoyed his work without realizing it. He's written things for #StarTrek, #Babylon5, #Oblivion, the #DCU, the #MCU (comics, TV, and movies), and more.
Only in America should a man as sick as he is, and as talented as he is, need to go begging to pay his medical bills, just to live.
Now you can see why the #WGA is striking. Streaming fees and movie ticket sales never trickle down to the people who do the most important job of all: creating the stories and characters you see on screen.
I rarely post a #GoFundMe, unless I know it's truly worthwhile. Please donate and say thank you to someone who has given you so many hours of entertainment.
