Liven up the group chats you're in by posting any or all of these images along with some bullshit bombastic emojis like 🇺🇸🤜🤛🇷🇺🧙‍♂️🥵🍆💦 then abruptly delete it all about 15 minutes later, saying something like "Wait, shit, is this the chat WITH reporters or WITHOUT reporters??"

Many of you know that the administration is trying a lot of fuckery with US Passports and gender markers right now. They violated the Administrative Procedure Act by doing this without a comment period. Right now, they are trying to cure the APA violation by having an after-the-fact comment period...

... you can go there RIGHT NOW and make your voice heard. The comments currently are overwhelmingly negative, opposing the administration's bigoted and harmful rule changes. If you can, please go add your voice. You may think it will make no difference, but the courts can and will look at all of this. Your comment RIGHT NOW opposing passport sex marker nonsense can make you a part of yet another inevitable Trump loss in the court systems soon.

I'm sure we'll all talk more about this on Monday when we're at our desks and reading it more thoroughly, but the latest court documents in the Hadnagy vs @npub1dqdh...8xy4 matter are public and, boy, are they a wild read... https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68094183/hadnagy-v-moss/?order_by=desc 🧵

I was asked recently during a training class what this cool little punch that I was using was called. Known as a corner cutter or a corner rounder, they are easy to find, super cheap, and I absolutely adore having one on hand for various purposes... https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGWObO4yuGR/

In response to a recent DM where it was pointed out to me that the Transgender Offender Manual is one of the zillions of documents being scrubbed from the internet by the new fascist regime, I've put up my archived copy of what used to be that BOP policy...

Notably absent from this list of tips is the more spicy option of "entire neighborhoods could mobilize and be prepared to take to the rooftops en masse and shoot at thugs who enter their community intent on doing harm" but that's more like a Hollywood movie plotline than something we're likely to actually witness unfold in reality.

This Tuesday the Trump fascist WH is starting mass immigrant deportations in Chicago. I'm an immigrant and human rights lawyer based out of Chicago...

Thanks to folk like @npub17pmd...kws7 and others spreading awareness, I'm now checking out #Pixelfed as a secondary image-posting platform. I've created an account on pixelfed.social but sadly the Admins there seem to have disabled all of the Import functions which is of course the entire point of having an account there. I've downloaded my whole Instagram archive in JSON format but would like to join an instance that hasn't nerf'd their features. Any good recommendations for a pixelfed instance that has more options available to their users?
