This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic

Pretty proud of the current city council making arguments like this, as someone who would be paying more taxes because of this proposed increase, I can tell you that it will not materially change my quality of life in any way and I wholeheartedly support it
honestly listen to it straight from the mouth of Councilor Morillo at around this time stamp:

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse.

2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report."

3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes."

This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

Apparently ODOT is immune to any sort of oversight or accountability, quite depressing!

I appreciate that republicans complained about Hillary Clinton’s email server so much (which was bad!) and then have proceeded to discuss details of active military operations over insecure means

America had onerous lockdowns in the same way it has a war in cars (it does not)
Also America did not have long or onerous lockdowns, I am going to lose my mind
Posting about the 'laptop class' or 'PMCs' is the class analysis of fools. Scratch the surface and its really about disdain towards women and feminised men. Also, as with any complaints about how COVID was handled, kids being slightly ahead in school isn't worth trading for a single human life.

I say this as someone who is religious enough to have learned Greek to read the New Testament in its original, the reason academics and business people are skeptical of “traditional” Christian values is because they are fucking stupid
Interesting story that gets to the heart of why many Christians feel persecuted in the U.S.: The secular elite find many of their views abhorrent and uncouth

LMAO surely it is the “Dutch Calvinist” part of an Afrikaner that makes them preferable to an Indian programmer and not just pure racism
The Federalist calls for a return to the US's more racist, pre-1965 immigration policy and implicitly backs national quotas.

"The plain fact is that an Afrikaner farmer[...]will assimilate to our American way of life much faster and more easily than a Muslim from the Middle East..."

Anyone find it funny how when the UK releases the Cass review to ban trans care, we get everything ranging from New York Times push notifs to op-eds in every major US paper...

But when Germany, Switzerland, and Austria release pro-trans youth care guidelines, not a single article anywhere but mine?
1. Major news in transgender care.

Germany, Switzerland, and Austria have just released their trans youth care guidelines.

They strongly recommend trans youth care and slam the
Cass Review in England.

Europe is not "pulling back" on trans care.

New German, Swiss, And Austrian Guidelines Recommend Trans Youth Care, Slam Cass Review
The recommendations, released by the Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany, come at a time when US politicians erroneously claim that Europe is "pulling back" on transgender care.
