Something I have to reiterate is that you are being straight up lied to about trans people and our healthcare on an unfathomable scale, this instance reporting is already being torn to shreds by other people commenting, but the frequency of this kind of reporting is astonishing, it's neverending.
You might think from the headline that this is a story about a trans kid suffering medical consequences from a large drug dose but nope! It is just an interview with an estranged father who is angry that his child happily transitioned.

🚨 New York Times reports more details than we've had before on how Donald Trump's administration pulled strings to pressure Romania to allow Andrew Tate to travel while he was charged with crimes including trafficking minors and violently beating and raping a 15-year-old girl.

I think all the time about how Ray Kurzweil's dad died young and then Kurzweil spent his entire life imagining a world where a magic moment would arrive where technology suddenly advanced so quickly he could somehow get his dad back.
It's very sad and very sweet, but that does not make it real.

Shame on me, but I thought Trump's dumb "Gold Card" scheme was just a rebranded EB-5 immigrant investor program. Nope, it's simply a straight-up $1MM official bribe for an EB-1/2.
This is still VERY illegal. The Trump admin says anyone who pays $1 million will be deemed to have "exceptional business ability" and become eligible for an employment-based immigrant visa.
But there's nothing stopping someone from just getting a loan or using parents' money.

Why seize an oil tanker if your bullshit excuse for attacking Venezuela is drugs?
The US Govt — which bombed the Houthis for seizing ships that were enabling the Gaza genocide — has now seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela.
The 2001 "war on terror" was a war for oil.
The 2025 "war on narco terror" is a war for oil.
This your "America First" POTUS. Are we great yet?🤔
