I understand that there are a lot of people out there who think they have good intentions and love to take their ideological opponents in good faith because it makes them seem fair and reasonable and I truly cannot overstate how dangerous this is to trans people and how much they should stop

“I have deep, deep concerns about a state that is run by direct democracy,” Cox said, continuing, “We have representative democracy for a reason.”

Jury finds D.C. ‘sandwich guy’ not guilty of assaulting officer
Sean C. Dunn admitted he flung the hoagie at a federal agent. His attorneys called it a “harmless gesture” of protest as Trump commandeered D.C. police.

Being unable to accurately assess why some people are hesitant to support a candidate who cannot effectively denounce the genocide of an entire group isn’t exactly a persuasive argument to those same people, is it?
Also, what election is currently being “boycotted?”

I cannot believe there are still people in my mentions arguing that boycotting an election because the candidates aren’t addressing your issue is a way to get them to pay attention.

Q: Unless ACA subsidies are extended, the average plan will increase by somewhere around 115%
DR OZ: Where'd you get that number?
Q: Kaiser Family Foundation
OZ: They retracted that. Here's the truth. The average American who's on ACA is gonna pay $13 more than this year. That's not a big issue

Discourse tip: when you don’t know exactly what someone is talking about, maybe just shelve your white hot outrage for 30 seconds and do more to assess if that person is saying what you think they’re saying, or if it’s possible they’re talking about something else.

i hate it when people give out reckless and irresponsible firearms advice online. you don't want to use anything less than .300wm when shooting appliances inside your home.
My personal recommendation on a response if your washer, refrigerator, or thermostat asks for your WiFi password or wants you to download an app. Use a 9mm or larger because you don't want them to suffer when you put them down.
Correction... when the thermostat died, the HVAC neighbor gave me an EcoBee smart thermostat. When it asked for the wifi password...

I know this is the absolute lowest priority aspect of this story, but there’s NO WAY Donald J Trump knows one fucking thing about fishing.
Trump on the boats the military is striking: "When you see 5 engines on a boat going about 65 miles an hour loaded up with white powder in silver cases, generally speaking that's not a good sign. They're not going fishing, right? And you don't see any fishing rods."
