Not much to tell. Been around for a few turns, hoping for a few (many) more. Fan of good pastrami, corned beef, Cel-Ray Tonic, fine teas.

One reason the NYT has burned its credibility with trans people is that they still cite the discredited Cass report in reporting on trans healthcare. Never the German, Utah, or other systematic reviews supporting care. They also never provide the political context behind restrictions in care.

To date, and this is not even the full list, Donald Trump has renamed the U.S. Institute of Peace to the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace, the Kennedy Center to the Trump Kennedy Center, and Ronna Romney to Ronna McDaniel. It’s giving Sharpie governance.

The Justice Dept is refusing to release all the Epstein files today? They are violating a law that Trump signed.

Yes, it's obscene and will be removed. But it is amusing that Donald is too stupid to know what memorial means. If only . . .

Interesting to consider that if you were to go and deface the Kennedy center by removing Trump’s name, you’d be arrested and charged with a crime, but your act would be no more unlawful than what they’re doing right now.

Trump is a Putin puppet
Trump is so weak he’s letting Putin push him around, and cutting Ukraine out of its own future.
This “deal” hands Moscow everything it wants. That’s not peace. It’s Trump surrendering to Putin. Pathetic.

…may amuse some; but it’s not happening in a vacuum. It’s all part of the same massive authoritarian personality cult masquerading as a federal government that you and I are all paying for.
In that sense, yes this stuff ofc matters.

Trump once promised an “America First” foreign policy, but his push toward military action in Venezuela appears “as though the will of American voters is the last thing on his mind,” Conor Friedersdorf argues.

Trip 39 to DC may be my last. I've said that to myself on every trip, now I'm saying it out loud. The truth is, it's extremely difficult on my body to make these journeys & always act like it's the last one. I know how CRUCIAL it is to have YOUR voice heard & will virtually advocate & NEVER GIVE UP!
