Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing?

DON'T DO IT.

If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT.

Document, document, document.

Act confused. Be confused! Go slow. Require clarity. Lots. Document

BREAKING: CEO shooter Luigi Mangione once participated in a ritual game where participants slowly hanged a man by guessing the letters of a secret word

To all the people upset about Luigi Mangione being made into a folk hero. Now you know how we felt when you made Kyle Rittenhouse into a hero.

Why don't we classify it as murder? For example, if someone is sent home after surgery and insurance denies nursing visits, and as a result they develop complications and die... should the insurance company be charged with negligent homicide?

I say yes.

The fact is, violence is sometimes the answer. And the Founders recognized that. They wrote about it rather extensively. One person may start a revolution, but to justify it requires an army.

Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is one of the delayed complications of measles that affects up to 1 in 600 unvaccinated children who’ve had measles. It occurs without warning an average of 7 years after infection but can occur decades later. There is no cure and it is almost always fatal.
Just interviewed a mom who lost her daughter to SSPE, a rare complication of measles. Years after the child recovers, they develop severe cognitive decline over 5-6 months and then pass away. She got measles before she was vaccinated.

It is indescribably tragic that we may see SSPE again in the US.

Tucked into the Cass Report, deep in the appendices, you'll find that they reviewed thousands of patient records and found no one who'd been harmed by puberty blockers and fewer than 10 detransitions.
It’s even worse knowing that Wes actually met trans kids, listened to them cry about how awful it would be to go through the wrong puberty, how this is a lifesaving treatment, and is fucking doing this anyway

It’s even more heartless than shutting them out of conversations
BREAKING: I have seen confirmation that the indefinite puberty blocker ban for trans kids that was passed by the NI Executive yesterday will be UK-wide. It will come into effect on January 1 2025 when the temporary ban expires.

It is being laid before Parliament today.

Transness breaks conservative (and especially white supremacist) brains because it shatters the rigid binaries they rely on to justify power. Gender isn't a natural hierarchy—it’s their excuse for control. When we exist unapologetically, it exposes their fragile systems for what they are: a lie.

HBO waiting until they saw the culture had shifted to more overt transphobia to overtly stand behind JK Rowling AND doing it on Trans Day of Remembrance showcases how cruel and cowardly they are.

Good public health is invisible. People tend not to notice the absence of disease.

Until people like RFK Jr start bringing it back.

Good Public Health Is Invisible
It’s only when things go wrong that you notice it. It looks like people will really notice public health in the United States quite soon.

Well said! Every attack on trans people is an effort to both:
- manufacture rage for distraction/fundraising purposes
- drive trans people out of public life

And the logistics of the policies always boil down to Republicans making cis women less safe while simultaneously blaming trans people.
"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.

Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC
