"... #LGTBIQ+ people still face #discrimination ..." I' m afraid that it is worse: with Trump and so many others of the far-right (many young men or even boys) we are returning to more discrimination, #harassment and #violence.

Report reveals scale of abuse faced by women in politics from countries such as Australia, India and Micronesia
Here's what I've been up to besides watching goofy movies during my surgery recovery
On Monday I got a harrassing call from someone who purported to be from Home Land Security. I discuss that here on my peertube and on youtube:

Koala! Go fetch our data!
An underweight koala, with several high-tech monitoring devices attached to its body is lost in a bulldozed habitat. It is making way for cars and a highway. The endangered animal had " a collar with a VHF tracker around its neck, a pin stitched between its shoulder blades and a blue tag on its ear."

#Pachli 2.10.0 is rolling out now, with new conversation account filters to deal with #harassment.
Just like notification filters you can control what happens when accounts start a conversation with you.
No longer want to see DMs from accounts you don't follow? You can hide them, or put them behind a warning. Ditto for new accounts that might only have been created to harass you.
This, and other changes are described in https://pachli.app/pachli/2025/02/28/2.10.0-release.html
…Few records in the #HUD system are redacted or anonymized, & many contain deeply personal material about those who have alleged or been accused of housing #discrimination. #DomesticViolence case files can list addresses to which survivors have relocated for their #safety. #Harassment cases can include detailed descriptions of instances of #SexualAssault. #Disability cases can include detailed #medical records.
The #SocialSecurity Administration “eliminated” the Office of Civil Rights and Equal Opportunity (OCREO) on Tuesday, Law Dork has learned. “The OCREO office has been eliminated,” the auto-response message read of a person who, as of Monday at least, had been a director in the office. “Please wait for instructions from the agency to request #EEO counseling, report #harassment, or guidance for reasonable #accommodations.” https://www.lawdork.com/p/social-security-administration-civil-rights-office #trump #doge #Musk #government #law #maga
Rolling out in #Pachli Current now; anti #harassment conversation account filters.
Just like notification filters you can control what happens when accounts start a conversation / direct message with you.
No longer want to see DMs from accounts you don't follow? You can hide them, or put them behind a warning. Ditto for new accounts that might only have been created to harass you.

‘It’s a Psyop’: Inside #ElonMusk’s Empty Ultimatum - #Trump #billionaire #enforcer told #federal workers they needed to justify themselves—or else.

UK’s internet watchdog toughens approach to deepfake porn.
Ofcom, the UK’s internet safety regulator, has published a new draft guidance as it continues to implement the Online Safety Act (OSA) — the latest set of recommendations aim to support firms to meet legal obligations to protect women and girls from online threats like harassment and bullying, misogyny, and intimate image abuse.
‘It’s a Psyop’
Elon Musk told federal workers they needed to justify themselves—or else. Then the administration changed its mind.

"cascading series of contradictory guidance... unpredictable consequences...
“It’s a psyop,” said a sr official at the Dept of Veterans Affairs... intended to intimidate federal workers. “It’s a form of #harassment. But there’s no one to complain to because no one knows exactly where it’s coming from or who’s behind it.”
In his dissent Monday, #ClarenceThomas said lower courts continue to follow Hill despite the court’s repudiation of that ruling in #Dobbs.
“I don’t see what is left” of the 2000 decision, he wrote, adding that the court “declines an invitation to set the record straight on Hill’s defunct status.”
But that 2014 decision, written by Chief Justice #JohnRoberts Jr., was a narrow one, noting that other state & local govts had found ways to accommodate the rights of those opposed to #abortion & the #women entering clinics.
Mary Ziegler, an abortion #law expert & prof at the UC Davis School of Law, cautioned against reading too much into the majority’s decision not to review the #NewJersey & #Illinois cases.
That decision in Hill v. Colorado upheld a state #law that established 100’ buffer zones outside all #health-care facilities—not just #abortion clinics—& prohibited approaching a person within an 8’ bubble to protest, counsel or hand out materials.
More recently, #SCOTUS unanimously struck down protest-free buffer zones around abortion clinics in #Massachusetts as an unconstitutional infringement on free speech.
The challengers, including the Coalition for Life, told the court that its sidewalk counselors, who *educate*, pray & distribute literature outside #abortion clinics, had nowhere to stand because of the ordinance, making their *counseling* [#harassment] activities effectively impossible.
They asked the justices to overturn a 2000 #SCOTUS decision, which said govts could enact some restrictions in part because the court said the #law did not prohibit a particular point of view or subject matter.
…At issue before the #SCOTUS in this latest matter were local regulations passed in Englewood, #NewJersey, & Carbondale, #Illinois, to prevent [anti-#abortion] demonstrations outside the entrances & in the driveways of #health-care facilities. Lower courts rejected challenges to both laws, & those decisions were affirmed on appeal.
This is True - #ElonMusk ordered #email sent all 2.3 million #government workers over the weekend directing them to respond with five bullet points detailing what they accomplished last week, chaos and confusion reigned. Agencies issued conflicting guidance, as did different divisions within the same agency, in some cases. #harassment #bullying #bully #corruption #fraud #abuse #trump #maga #hatred #mentalhealth https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/22/politics/elon-musk-employees-emails/index.html
