The Bill of Rights was basically poppycock until the 1960s. When I was born, all of this was legal:
● Public school teachers could lead mandatory class prayers.
● Private employers could require employees to go to church.
● Both govt and private business could post jobs for Whites/Men Only.

White folks (mostly) saying Jasmine Crockett cannot win, we see you. Racism on the left. You want the labor of Black women. You want us to be your mules. But you do not want us in power. You want us as the background to your foreground. That's why this country is in the shape it's in.

Actual question, for medical professionals:
If you need to be hooked up for regular IVs, why not in your arm? Or some place that, except for your face and neck, is the most unavoidably visible part of your body?
Not snarky; just wondering why it couldn't be in arm, leg, abdo, etc.

Just so everyone knows, most trans people will NOT vote for #Newsom.
Don't demand that we explain why. Don't demand that we answer your questions.
If he's the #Democratic nominee, he'll win without many trans votes. Or he'll lose. But don't expect us to support him for you.

The University of Oklahoma is facilitating a trap used by RW Christian students against LGBTQ faculty.
They put a TA on leave for rightfully flunking a student whose assignment included open slurs.
There is an organized campaign to isolate LGBTQ in academia.

The toxic part is that they can ADMIT their hateful bigotry - out loud, in public! - and most of the public discourse will pretend there's a good faith "issue" to debate.

We've always been a society based on Popular Lies. From Christianity to white supremacy to patriarchy to media driven "crime waves".
