Goodnight, dear Fediverse. Well done today. Tomorrow we'll keep on fighting the machine, and loving each other, just like we did today, and someday soon we'll win.

This is a post about Kansas ordering all trans people to surrender their driver licenses. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/26/kansas-trans-drivers-license-law-assault-on-rights
"On December 3, 1938, ... the Nazi government issued a decree to revoke the driver’s licenses of all Jews in Germany. This was part of a larger effort to marginalize and dehumanize Jewish citizens, removing their ability to participate in normal life and further isolating them from the rest of society." https://considerthesourceny.org/teaching-holocaust-and-genocide/holocaust-resources-time-period/indoctrination-and-discrimination/case-studies/thirteen-drivers-licenses

Our old TV broke, and the multilayer theft of privacy required to set up our new one is giving me conniptions. Once it's up and running I'll go back and delete the GoogleTV and wifi parts and run everything off an external Roku, but still: fuck Google and every smart TV manufacturer.
What the Hisense setup screen SHOULD say is: "Dear Customer: THANK YOU for buying our TV. The money you paid us is plenty. We won't sell anything about you to anyone, because that would be ungrateful."

I'm sorry about Savannah Guthrie's mom and also can we maybe spend as much time, energy, and prayer on trying to find the thousands of missing Native American/First Peoples girls and women who have been regularly kidnapped for years and years and years?

John Oliver is holding an online auction to raise money for public media (in response to Trump's fzcking budget cuts), and the items up for auction are amazeballs!
The Bob Ross painting is over a million dollars now!
