Essentially, the "it's okay to be thin" opinion pieces aren't about giving people permission to feel how they feel about their bodies. They're about reassuring people that their desire to be thin isn't the result of a profound, ubiquitous cultural bias against fatness & bigotry toward fat people.

MAJOR UPSET ALERT: Democrat Taylor Rehmet has just been projected the winner of the Texas SD9 special election — flipping a district that went Trump +17 and hasn’t elected a Democrat since 1991.
Trump personally endorsed Leigh Wambsganss and spent days hyping this race… and still lost.

Exactly right.
Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign.
Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE.
Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them.
Every possible angle.
