I know there are a lot of big stories. And I have long ago learned not to over-react to crazy things Trump says. But him telling the NYT that the only limitation on his power is his own conscience is profoundly disturbing. Because that is dictator territory. And because he has no conscience.

this store is 18+ and they’re strict as hell about it. none of this has ever been about “protecting children,” it’s about trying to force trans people to disappear
After a boutique on South Street received a warning letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for selling breast binders for gender-affirming care, the region’s transgender community worries about the potential wider impacts.
