Gotta be one of my favorite genders
Craziest variety of trans person is the androgynous person who’s so obscenely hot you have no idea what direction they transitioned. They all work at bars

“If I knew this could be the outcome, I still wouldn't have given my son the vaccine.”
This was said by the mother of a child in South Carolina who has been hospitalized with measles encephalitis since January.
I tried out several sentences for this spot, but none could capture my thoughts.

The oligarchs of this country are pushing a technology that mass manufactures CSAM, destroys the information ecosystem, convinces people to kill themselves, and creates a surveillance state where no one's data is safe.

Like with using children as bait and eating at a restaurant then kidnapping the people who prepared it, ICE is routinely breaking taboos that have been part of human civilization since before recorded history.
Two female ICE agents popped the hood of their car and knocked on the door of a mechanic born in Mexico. He went out to help.
“A bunch of agents jump out and tackle him, essentially restraining him, and take him away...His six kids are now without their father." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

the overseer of project 2025 is telling you out loud that every inch you cede on trans rights is part of the plan to create a white christian fascist state
Kevin Roberts, President of The Heritage Foundation, claims that evidence suggests a correlation between undergoing Trans Medical Care and acts of violence.
He states Heritage's public policy solution is to ban it for all ages and they're willing to work towards this goal on an incremental basis.

The article completely omits any reflection on the cause of public sentiment shift (psssst... it was the hundreds of millions of dollars spent demonizing trans people, Democrats' general unwillingness to push back on the narrative, and the media's shift to the right.)

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.
