The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Gavin newsom and Schumer and other mainstream democrats LOVE doing the "Trump always chickens out" stuff because they feel like it allows them to score points without addressing that the shit he wants to do, and often does, is really bad!!! the problem is not the follow-through!

I'm not a historian so this is probably hilariously wrong, and is incredibly reductive, but - after WWII America had enormous state capacity and needed somewhere to PUT that, basically? And for various reasons - racism and the economic and psychological need to maintain a large working class -

half of americans don't have a passport, and 1/3 of us don't have $500 in savings, so europeans lecturing us about how we're not going to be received well when traveling abroad doesn't land in the way they might hope

a year ago i wrote a story that went viral over here about how republicans could create a de facto national care ban for trans medicine
to stop it, democrats would have to hold the line in funding talks, and staff in congress told me they were unsure if they would
today, they stopped it

Will Democrats Let the GOP Gut Trans Health Care?
Donald Trump and Republicans may try to ban funding to companies that perform trans health care. Some fear Democrats won't stop them.

I've been thinking a lot about all of the actors who have signed on for the hbo series and audiobooks and... I wonder if those same people would have signed on five years ago. I kind of don't think they would have, even when Rowling's evil could be handwaved away easier
of the moral conundrums you will be presented with, as an adult, "stop buying these specific children's toys" is like. the easiest possible
It cannot be made clearer.
If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

i have never wanted anything as hard as i now want to smoke the dial-up noise
"Body mods as easily obtainable as getting your ears pierced at Claries" would also have been neat. Like get your body mods from someone named Stryker around back of the corner noodle store, then go out into the neon apocalypse to like, idk be a detective who smokes dial-up noises.

The training is not the problem! These training requirements just give them more money.
Other aspects:
-de-escalation training for ICE and CBP officers
-training all law officers and agents, on Americans’ right to record any interactions.
-Provides line-item funding ($20 million) for mandated, independent oversight of detention facilities
