How long until living an "anti-Christian" lifestyle is evidence of an anti-Christian bias?

You might want to edit out the "delivering to" on that screenshot, fyi!

Bad news, privacy is sadly political. When you build your brand on "trust us with your sensitive information" it's less than ideal to align yourself with the "if you've done nothing wrong you have nothing to fear from privacy invasion" party

She could be seeking legal counsel, and their first rule is usually "shut the fuck up" until they get their ducks in a row.

The last Alt-Right Playbook video, it's the end of an era. And unfortunately probably the start of a worse one.

I'm thinking two years until an executinve order reinstating chattel slavery and SCOTUS giving it a pass. Clarence Thomas writes the majority opinion.

That assumes that they would need to. Make enough things illegal and you can legally enslave everyone arrested, especially minorities targeted by law enforcement (oops we're already doing this). Criminalize existing as a non citizen (and brown), being LGBTQ, being homeless, etc., and you've already got the mechanism to remove your undesirables into forced labor camps, what good does it do making it more explicit?

He's trying to. Right now it's a firehose of bad policy designed to suppress, but it's important to strongly oppose on as many fronts as possible because a lot of this can and will get shut down if we try. This administration is counting on apathy to get away with this shit, and I think it's important to separate our expectations of these actions from acceptance of these actions.

Call or write your congressmembers. Find a protest going on near you. Don't talk to cops/ICE. Contact your state attorney general about what they're doing to sue for your rights. Download archives of the webpages the feds are taking down and distribute to those who need it. Talk to your neighbors, your community, and see about who needs help from mutual aid, and get resources where they can be used. Donate to someone's gofundme to get needed healthcare.

Anyone reading this, just do any action that makes the world marginally better right now. You can't solve all this by yourself, none of us can, but we can all do a little to push us in the right direction.

SCOTUS seemed to not like a lot of Biden's EOs though, I wonder why that could be...

I definitely would consider currying favor with the incoming administration a potential gain, which is why even if this is truly a technical error, so many people would believe otherwise considering the messaging from Meta these past few weeks. Regardless of intentions, Meta has failed in their user experience at a time when many people are evaluating if these platforms are worth the trouble- purely as a tech business that seems like quite the misstep. Of course, the truth is that it doesn't matter, we already know Meta is bowing to right wing pressure and actively choosing to allow harm to LGBTQ+, women, and other minorities on their platforms, and they shouldn't get plausible deniability for their mistakes.

I have heard from at least one person who deliberately unfollowed before Monday who suddenly was following again after the changeover. Maybe there's technical difficulties there, but it's a bad look for sure.
