Inhuman observer from another world, but feel free to think I'm crazy. It's wonderful camouflage.
Happy to answer questions, but you will probably not like most of the answers.

If you’re confused about Trump’s claim that the US bombed a facility in Venezuela last week, I wrote this tick-tock of the past few days:
Trump says US bombed alleged drug facility in Venezuela. No one knows if it’s true.
It could be a lie from social media, or a conflation of other stories. Either way, Americans need to know.

With the Jim Beam news, I wanted to resurrect this post about habit forming.
Using May 1 date from below, that was 235-days ago.
Canadians are used to certain US Alcohol products being gone & now have a deeply formed habit of buying alternatives.
This has also boosted Canadian producers by a LOT.

The Canadian Boycott of US products & travel started in February with tariffs & the 51st state BS. As time passed, we got more pissed off.
Let's use May 1 as a boycott start date. That's 110-days ago.

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.

What's so frustrating in this moment of explicit government censorship is how many times groups like the ACLU and others told us they _had_ to defend neo nazis because of the principle of free speech. Now that fascists are in power, none of those principles are protecting marginalized groups.

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:
Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.
The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

This is why you rarely see the anti trans side going after Hunter Schafer or Kim Petras. They went on puberty blockers and transitioned as teens. They're massively successful and living happy lives. They don't want to highlight that.
The reason they're so focused on trans teens is that people who transition younger typically blend into society better. To the extent that they're willing to tolerate our existence in society at all, they'd rather we be easily identified by our appearance/voices/etc.
Cis people really have no idea how it feels to watch a regime hold a press conference to admit, on camera, the pogrom against trans people they've been waging for 11 months is not only real, but they're going to double down on genocide and try to wipe out all the children first.

This is precisely how fascism works, by grabbing at and taking away a little more freedom whenever events lend themselves to it. Bit by bit you lose your rights, until you turn around and realize the road you're on has been long, and democracy is well behind you over the horizon.

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

28 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office. These facilities are overcrowded & are putting their own profits over health and safety. We need oversight & accountability NOW.

CMS is saying they can do this because this care is not "healthcare" and thus they aren't regulating practice of medicine... seems like a slippery slope? what stops them from next saying abortion isn't healthcare?
Under the proposed rule issued by the Trump Administration today, any Medicare- or Medicaid-participating hospital would be barred from providing gender-affirming care to *any child*, even if the care is not paid for by Medicare or Medicaid.
