I'm like 90% sure that someone misunderstood, "transgenic", and now they have to pretend that trans mice are a thing.
People say they want more study into the effects of puberty blockers and HRT, but then mock actual studies into it.
"8 million dollars for making mice transgender" is the new "they're eating the dogs"

From my recent experience, the police took me to the local city jail (credit to HBPD, they were polite and professional the entire time), where they searched me and put me in a cell. Then I had to wait while they figured out what I was getting charged with (disrupting an assembly)
Many likely don't protest due to fear of being arrested because they don't know what happens during and after the arrest. Can you share or point people to resources on what happens when you're arrested and the process after? It may help people come to terms with it.

Something coffeezilla glosses over here is that is an evolution in the ability to directly pay trump off. There is no service, no board of directors, and no laws governing how much can be paid. A government, company, or individual can just buy a number of coins for however much they want.
Apparently the president has launch a personal meme coin. It's a transparent scam with no attempt for a value add or hope for it to increase in value because thier holding 80% of the coins and the unlock horizon is short.
