Michael Shermer used to be a skeptic hero.
Today, he is a MAHA enabler, obsessed with strangers' genitals and endangering trans people to get attention on social media.
I want to lead by example and prove to him it's possible to not talk about trans people constantly.

„The consultation was widely criticized for its prioritization of business interests, lack of attention to human rights & labour concerns, disregard for deliberative dialogue: the 30-day window & specialized knowledge required to answer many of the questions posed barriers to public participation.“

As Donald Trump threatens us over the Gordie Howe Bridge (which we paid for) we learn that the Canadian government has quietly added to the number of F-35s its purchasing.
Now it is time to buy from allies instead of enemies.

Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.
We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.
Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.
