People who are #bisexual do not disappear when unrecognized by the #USGovernment; instead they experience poorer physical and mental health and wellbeing due to not being believed, seen, or having their needs addressed.

The Free America Walkout will take place on Jan. 20 at 2 p.m. local time. Organized in part by the Women's March, this encourages individuals and groups to walk out of work, school and other activities, withholding labor as a protest against the government. Events have been organized in cities across America throughout the weekend of Jan. 17. Here's more from Hercampus. At the second link, find out more about the movement, and an event near you.

Costco wouldn't back down on DEI, and now it's going up against the Trump administration, suing on the grounds that Trump overstepped his emergency powers by imposing tariffs — and asking for a refund. Here's more from @CNN on what Costco said in the lawsuit, and the handful of other companies that are separately suing the government.

The Palestinian groups’ YouTube channels hosted hours of footage documenting and highlighting alleged Israeli government violations of international law in both Gaza and the West Bank. https://theintercept.com/2025/11/04/youtube-google-israel-palestine-human-rights-censorship/
@theintercept
Deliberate destruction of potential evidence of human rights violations and war crimes, and blocking those engaged in their documentation... doesn't that suggest YouTube is complicit, and merits sanctions?
@someguy i will literally never fucking forgive gmail for routing a NIST high school internship acceptance email to spam. makes me so upset i need to do breathing exercises whenever i think of it
@hipsterelectron That's terrible. In the beginning, #Gmail won plenty of people over with, at the time, great spam filtering and 2GB storage. It was a much different time in 2005, however.
Fast forward 20 years and Google's mail service isnt innovative. It doesn't stand out and isn't competitive. Now fully entrenched in the #NSA #PRISM program and the company completely in bed with the #usgovernment everyone has every reason to run away.
I pay for my new provider but it's a HELLUVA lot cheaper than trading #privacy for "free" email.

I would have preferred the #WhiteHouse not to be demolished, but if we are going to let the #fascists destroy the #USGovernment and #democracy in general, it is nice to have a tactile metaphor of the wanton damage to point at.
