Gutting US counterterrorism and federal law enforcement capacity was a bad idea.
Sorry to get so partisan. I know the president wants to see more political violence in the US, and thinks it's important for federal forces to prioritize crackdowns on nonviolent, noncriminal migrants. I just disagree.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

One thing I have no patience for is "there is nothing to be thankful for" doomerism. If Americans were finding things to be thankful for in 1863, two and a half years into a bloody Civil War, when Abraham Lincoln formalized the Thanksgiving holiday, then I can find things to be thankful for too.

A "peace deal" in which the attacked country is asked to reduce its troops, to withdraw from its strongest defensive position and to rely on the word of an attacker who has constantly broken its words. That's not a peace deal, it's a launch pad for the next attack.

Everyone doesn’t mean the same thing when they post a meme like this, but there is a steelmanable version: that Democratic and Republican presidents have historically acted equally brutally and lawlessly to people overseas, and that the main differences are in domestic rhetoric and policy.
she’s right
I hate this sort of meme.
“The only difference between the parties is whether the power to destroy human civilization rests in the hands of leaders who think gays, women, and black people should have their rights acknowledged.”
Even if true, how is Rainbow B-52 not infinitely preferable?
