Canada really needs to let America sit in this stupid trade war for a while before ever agreeing to do anything for Trump. Its been a single day and Trump is already willing to end the tariffs if Canada shows efforts to stop fentanyl? What a joke. Let Trump reap what he sows.

New article dropped last night, this time I talk about SNAP benefits and how congress is trying to make those who are dependent on the program miserable. middle-of-the-marina.ghost.io/a-brief-over...
A brief overview of SNAP and those who seek to restrict it further
Food and water; It goes without saying, we as people need food and water, not only to survive, but to thrive. A diverse diet of foods keep our society alive and well, if we as people do not have food,...

Something to watch for in all these town halls across the US with angry people wanting answers... Look for tone policing, an ad hominem fallacy that tried to discredit their arguments because they are angry. This is a staple of dismissive politicians when answering to people who are rightfully upset

Solving the transgender bathroom debate might change how we design public restrooms
For the majority of people, using a public restroom is as mundane and forgettable as putting on your shoes; for transgender people, it tends to be a daily test of courage.
Most cisgender people wont ...

What a beautiful thing that SNAP works on sushi. I think the big wigs who hate "handouts" are already on their way to make that no longer the case. I had an idea of operating a restaurant that sells delicious meal kits and, as a generous act, offer to cook it for free. I bet that would be SNAPable 😘

Just felt the full force of an ex-friends evangelical rant about being led by Satan because I'm trans.
Turns out following my heart and learning to accept myself is a no-no.
Nothing makes me feel more right in my decision than to be labeled an abomination and immoral affront to God's image. 😒

What a disgusting world we live in where the department of state can just outright deny your passport application for basically no reason. That is a trans travel ban, 100%. Theres no other way to phrase it. We are unable to leave the country full stop.
One of my housemates (transfem) recently applied for a passport using an amended (certified, embossed) Texas birth certificate and her NY drive license. both have "F" gender markers. She just got this claiming that isn't enough to substantiate "biological sex at birth".

it is genuinely incredible that all you have to do is scratch the surface and it becomes clear that each of these guys is a huge piece of shit
Incredible: Russ Vought’s daughter has cystic fibrosis and benefits from a “miracle drug” made possible by the National Institutes of Health—an agency Vought now aims to gut as part of the Project 2025 attack www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I saw the Kanye ad yesterday (it aired in the Philly market, where we were) but didn't click on the link.
Today I found out it went to a website selling swastika T-shirts.
This was a Superbowl ad.
And it was to a website selling swastika T-shirts.
I feel like I'm losing my mind.

Tell me you're redlining without telling me you're redlining
The US DOT says it's planning to prioritize areas with high marriage & high birth rates for funding.
Our new analysis @urbaninstitute.bsky.social shows this would disproportionately fund:
—Communities with a higher white resident share
—Low-density areas
—High-income areas
—Car-dependent areas

DOT’s Plan to Distribute Funding by Birth and Marriage Rates Would Leave Communities Most In Need Behind
If enacted, the new US Department of Transportation memo would prioritize funding to whiter, higher-income, more car-dependent areas over communities of color and people who walk, bike, or take public...
