One thing they're going after is adoption and surrogacy.
According to project 2025. A child shall be raised by their biological mother and father.
Queer erasure won't end with TQ. They'll go after LGB too.
I believe that they will make it difficult for trans people to be in public spaces.
If they equate my gender expression with pornography, and I go anywhere children are present, that's a sexual assault charge. If YouTube displays trans content, that's not age restricted, that's displaying pornography to a minor.
That is their plan. Erasure.
Do I think they will do it? I think they're going to try. They've been doing everything else so far.
I agree with what you're saying generally.
But in the context of X, and Meta too. These are Nazi echo chambers. By design. It's not an environment generally conducive to getting through to folks.
If someone was closed-minded, you know around a campfire smoking a joint, I could probably plant some seeds right.
But on X, I don't think there's anything I could say that would cut through their cognitive dissonance.
Plus, I'd be supporting Musk's platform by being on it. So fuck that.
And March 7th-14th buy nothing from Amazon
Nazis don't understand different perspectives. It's essentially the definition.
That said, I see value in posting for the peanut gallery (when I encounter Nazis here, I don't go on Twitter).
But debating Nazis? Hoping to change their minds?
Nah, prefer to serve them knuckle sandwiches and go about my day.
Please don't minimize the oppression that's coming. It's real. And our former allies won't be able to do much outside of sanctions and asylum.
From Project 2025.
Project 2025 equates being transgender — or adopting “transgender ideology” — to pornography and declares that it should be outlawed. Under this plan, the federal government would enforce sex discrimination laws on the “biological binary meaning of sex,” and educators and public librarians who spread the concept of being transgender would be registered as sex offenders. The plan says that children should be “raised by their biological fathers and mothers who conceive them,” unless those biological parents are found unfit by a court.
So if we read between the lines, my existence will be a sex offense.
And look at the end there, they're going after all queer families.
Yeah, the accountability stuff is actually in the HALT act.
So it's as much about them wanting to torture and murder people, as it is about them not feeling like they should be held accountable for it
They do have good cause to strike. Staffing shortages have been bad in most prisons since COVID.
But, because they're short staffed and our justice system routinely dumps mentally ill folks in prisons. And guards aren't mental health workers. And prison's rarely do enough mental health programming or staff enough professionals to take care of the population. The cops end up thinking the only way they have to manage the situation is to torture folks by tossing them in solitary. Because that's what they've been doing up until NY passed a bill to stop it.
Sorry those sentences are oddly formatted. A bit stoned.
There are reasonable demands they could make. Better mental health care for inmates. Fix the staffing shortage by offering better compensation for new hires. Etc.
So I don't blame them for striking.
But torture isn't a tool to properly handle prisoners. And I absolutely blame them for making torture one of their demands.
ACAB
They're complaint is that they can no longer place people in solitary confinement who are mentally ill. And that they can no longer place prisoners in solitary for longer than 15 days, which is the point that it's considered torture by human rights organizations.
Essentially, they are complaining that they can no longer torture folks.
They have a few other demands too, but this is their main sticking point. Torture is no longer on the table so therefore we are striking.
Class fucking traitors.
None of what you said disagrees with my post.
Open AI is courting the current authoritarian administration, they want some of that defense contractor money.
So what if it gives them more rules to follow. We both know those rules will be gone soon. And we both know that the money is worth it to them.
They are not liberal, they are capitalists chasing money. And they will say whatever they need to in order to follow that money. Which means they need to stay on the side of the authoritarian who will actually pay them.
You also claim to be mansplaining things and use bitch freely as a pejorative to describe other posters views.
And 63 comments, some of them quite long-winded. You joined less than a day ago.
My suspicion is that you are a bot, in spite of your claim that Lemmy is too young to have bots. The folks that have been here a while know that is certainly not the case.
So what is it, you are a chat GPT model that has been told to pretend it's a conservative woman working for the department of defense or the department of energy?
Capitalist competition attacking each other with accusations of being too liberal doesn't make an organization liberal.
Open AI is branching into military contracting. That should tell you everything you need to know about their political positions and aspirations with the new administration.
Again, this isn't 2020. That information is outdated and obviously came from earlier training data. Yet you keep citing it as your source.
Donald Trump is authoritarian. Rather or not the United States can keep him in check is a different question
And since you were so big on being pedantic, scroll back up and see what I said. I said President Trump is an authoritarian.
He wants to be king, he wants to be like Putin, he admires people like Hitler.
I'm talking about his attitudes and intentions. Not rather or not the US qualifies as an authoritarian regime. We will find out the answer to that question very soon.
He's a toddler who is going to push the boundaries until they break. And if anyone tells him no, he's going to throw a fit. What happens after that, will answer the question.
But my initial comment, was about Trump's character. Not if the union currently qualifies. I think how they start responding to mass protests in the spring will let us know for sure.
I fully expect state violence and suppression will be the response. At which point you can eat all of your words.
We're not talking about 2020.
And I would be really surprised if ChatGPT would give you a straight answer on the current administration.
There is a grain of truth in all of that.
It was essentially an IT department under the executive branch, that I don't think anybody had even been staffed at since September. Trump basically renamed it and gave it a new mission statement.
They picked a department, and converted it into Doge. They did this essentially to bypass congressional approval, because the department was already there.

It was never really about Russia or Putin, but the ideological divide between capitalism and socialism. And authoritarianism and democracy.
Now, we have an authoritarian president. And apparently a third of the country voted for that so. Yeah that's where Americans are at sadly.
What's this accidentally stuff?
He's firing everybody indiscriminately and intentionally. That's not an accident.
Just because he regrets doing it doesn't mean he didn't do it on purpose the first time.
We still enjoy using the fireplace, even though our home is heated.
