Cleo, a black trans woman in Germany who was a Berlin resident, has been held (per my understanding) without charge on "general suspicion" for over a year and on little to no evidence. She has been transferred to a men's prison despite objections from Cleo and her community. https://www.instagram.com/priderebellion.berlin/p/DILwz5oMgtk/?img_index=3 https://innn.it/justiceforcleo

The goal of the Trump Administration right now is to make it not just so they can disappear and deport and incarcerate non-citizens, but anyone who they disagree with, at any time.

Oh yeah and we haven't pulled out the Porta-Bella mascot of @spritely as often, but it's worth saying this character was co-designed by myself and @davidrevoy (who really is the one who made it look cool)!

It's been a bit since the @spritely campaign wrapped up, but we decided to post a retrospective, an update on campaign rewards, and some lovely quotes from donors! https://spritely.institute/news/2024-2025-supporter-drive-retrospective.html

PLUS! I promised if we crossed the $90k line I'd do an animation and I KEPT MY PROMISE! Behold, our Porta-Bella mascot, hopping around! (A few of them hopping, even!)

@fantazo it would be interesting to see if you took a random sample of things from your fridge and how many you expected to have sugar and then how many had it

@cstanhope that's the meaning! and also all the other ones I handwave into existence

@mirahimage ah, I ran across that the other day, but I wasn't buying hummus then! noted for next time

I thought the US was bad about this, but Germany, do you really need to add sugar to everything?

Do you need to add it to "plain hummus"

I'm pretty sure `pleroma.heldscal.la` was my first pleroma instance but archive.org doesn't seem to have the content at all.

@Serenus Yes, exactly

Clearview's surveillance tools, in broad deployment, were founded based on eugenics (very literally, not an exaggeration), with the goal of supporting future far-right authoritarian governments in the US and punishing any form of diversity or people with left-leaning political views https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/04/clearview-ai-immigration-ice-fbi-surveillance-facial-recognition-hoan-ton-that-hal-lambert-trump/
