Other countries are arresting people, including a king’s brother over the Epstein files. Republicans in Congress hold the power to do the same here but do nothing. The same republicans who wanted to arrest Hillary for a (fake) child trafficking scheme at a pizza shop.

There is no need for high speed chases regarding stolen cars. A bus hit a pedestrian because state police were chasing an suv through city streets in Rochester.
Remember, stuff can be replaced, people cannot.
Of course copaganda blames the thief, but common sense should still prevail.

The message here should be work as hard as you fucking can to get your candidate to win the primaries.
The biggest complaint I hear from no voters is “I’d vote if they gave me better choices”
The ‘they’ in this statement is primary voters.

We are told "on here" that if you vote for whoever wins the Democratic primary in 2028 it is an unforgivable betrayal of all trans people.
This is not the case.
Trans people, like all people, are not a monolith.
And NO candidate who wins the Dem primary will be "as bad or worse" than JD Vance.

Elder trans here living in CA. I'll do all I can to make sure someone better is the nominee but w/o question will vote for him if he is. Your last sentence is an absolute lie, completely divorced from reality. You aren't doing any trans person favors peddling this bs. YOU are hurting us.
