Yuuuuup. Also, I don't give a shit if some of the worst people in the world think I am being performative or am virtue signaling. Fuck 'em. They don't get to tell me how to be.
Anyway, trans rights are human rights, y'all. It's not complicated.

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

I’ll say it a million times, I’ll get a t shirt if I need to: you do owe vulnerable people protection, they have the same right to safety as you. I don’t care if every other progressive signs a blood oath saying otherwise: it is wrong to abandon, endanger, and harm the vulnerable.

One sovereign nation that has just VOWED to fight back if provoked
CNN is hopelessly broken.
1. This "expansion" would require military invasions of several allies in violation of international law.
2. It would violate several treaties.
3. The Louisiana Purchase was the sale of land by a colonial power (France). These are sovereign nations.

This is how misinformation works—inflammatory headline, mundane details in the text.
The story is that there's no story here, a pre-trial magistrate with no connection to UHC at all.
But you can see in the replies how few people clicked through—just see who uses male pronouns (judge is a woman):

I got blocked for this comment. Scientists and journalists: AI "art" takes away commissions from living, breathing artists. There is as much of a moral/ethical problem with AI as there is an environmental one. Remember: the only people excited about AI are excited for their bottom line.
Every single AI image you've shared on this platform could have been a commission that paid for an artist's rent, medical bills, meals, etc. so no the number is absolutely, certainly not zero
