floofloof@lemmy.catoUnited States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•US to begin immediate removal of up to 1,000 trans military members12·9 hours agoThe Pentagon will immediately begin moving as many as 1,000 service members who identify as transgender out of the military and give others 30 days to self-identify, under a new directive issued on Thursday.
Buoyed by Tuesday’s supreme court decision allowing the Trump administration to enforce a ban on transgender individuals in the military, the defense department will then begin going through medical records to identify others who have not come forward.
People, this is Nazism. They’re making lists of trans people and autistic people, and forcing doctors to rat on their patients. It is time to fight the Nazis again.

She may look a bit odd after all the plastic surgery, but as far as I could see she doesn’t usually look quite this odd.

floofloof@lemmy.cato politics @lemmy.world•Resolution introduced in Iowa Senate to end same-sex marriage6·11 hours agoThis could easily turn into another avenue for oppression. “Desginate x a mental illness and treat it” doesn’t necessarily turn out any better than “Put all the practitioners of x in the gulag.” So really you need to focus on overthrowing the authoritarians who want to oppress people.

Baker and Victor denied those claims outright.
“If that’s what he thought the issue was once he opened the stall door, obviously there was only one person in there, so it should’ve been case closed,” Victor said. “Let her tie up her shorts and go about her day.”
So the guard actually opened the stall door while she was still using the toilet, found a woman in there, and then stuck around to demand ID to prove she was a woman? What a weird thing to do.

Well, we are really seeing the effects of all this propaganda now the fascists are in power.
floofloof@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•OpenAI and the FDA Are Holding Talks About Using AI In Drug EvaluationEnglish11·1 day agoDoctors cost money and the money goes to doctors. LLMs cost less and the money goes to billionaire fascist techbros. The fact that they’re not fit for purpose is insignificant compared to the potential for techbro enrichment.
Also, doctors have an annoying habit of helping people to live regardless of whether techbro eugenics says they deserve to.

I think the root of the problem is that capitalist society sends students the message that learning is valuable only as a means to make more money. If that’s your view then it makes sense to skip the difficult stuff and just pay for the piece of paper that gives you access to better-paying jobs. Capitalism absolutely doesn’t value having a wiser and more knowledgeable populace, and students pick up on this.
floofloof@lemmy.cato politics @lemmy.world•Trump Finally Drops the Anti-Semitism Pretext | The latest letter to Harvard makes clear that the administration’s goal is to punish liberal institutions for the crime of being liberal.101·1 day agoIt’s not that the meaning of “socialist” changed but that the Nazis were never actually socialist despite their deliberately misleading name, and Hitler had anyone in the party with any socialist tendencies killed off. You seem not to be hearing what everyone in the thread is trying to say to you. The Nazis were straightforwardly fascist, far right, and never anything to do with socialism or the left.
floofloof@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•US Health department will analyze data from autistic Medicare, Medicaid enrollees, RFK Jr. says12·1 day agoSource for that? All the accounts I’ve read say that RFK was walking down a corridor after giving a speech at a podium, when he was shot several times by a guy who was angry about RFK’s support of Israel. Doesn’t sound like his son was present or the shooter had anything to do with RFK’s protection detail.
Because someone told them the Bible told them so.
