Bullshit alert: some NZ politicians (dishonestly) claiming that the puberty blocker ban is about "saving" kids from "unnecessary" medical interventions and "letting them make up their own minds"

No, that's *what puberty blockers* do. It gives those kids time to work out their own identity.

There are many different ways to practice astrology and none of them are wrong except for when you use chatgpt to practice astrology.

In addition to being straight-up Nazi rhetoric, the "undocumented immigrants caused the housing crisis" lie seems designed to drive me, personally, insane.

You all honest to God think that the eight Democrats that voted to end the shut down just happen to be people that weren’t up for reelection anytime soon or at all? If you think that I can’t talk to you.

The penny being discontinued is so Venus in Scorpio. A planet in its detriment does not stand up to the social values- it’s subject to judgements, right or wrong, about its worth. In this case, it’s literal - our once all-copper coin has been rendered worthless - it will no longer exist.

NEW: During the government shutdown, many theories emerged as to what Republicans were up to. Today’s stunning email release may have answered that question: it was all about the Epstein files. Whatever is in them has kept the government closed and Trump awake at night, Marc Elias writes.

Myriad of feelings about this one. It rings hollow considering the place we’re in now, as well as the numerous times that she’s been confronted with this. At the same time, it makes me want to praise the protestors because clearly their persistence is bearing fruit… it ain’t a monumental shift but.

The fact I see people promoting using ChatGPT for Astrological readings genuinely baffles & disgust me. One person said you have to correct half the information but it “works”

The US used to murder Black folks for knowing how to read.

White folks made post cards from picnics around hung bodies.

Forced sterilization of women was a sanctioned program in the US.

The US is multiple atrocities stitched together.

What’s happening today is mild in comparison to history
There isn’t a single thing being done that surprises Black people. Maybe how bold and audacious they are but none of it elicits “I can’t believe they are doing this” reactions. Cause they been doing it us™️

Black, Brown and Native folks aren’t flipping out like white people because we know what’s happening now isn’t an aberration in US history.

This is the norm.

This is how it’s always been.

There has never been a moment we haven’t been in survival mode.
