"Every western nation will allow us to do this."
The *honesty* and self-awareness in that statement in contrast to "this is not who we are," is striking.

86 Democrats voted yes.
Based on the totals that's 40% of Dem votes.
Like I said. . . the party can burn in hell.

if you consider yourself an ally please speak up about this, it’s overwhelmingly trans people who are trying to raise awareness of this attack and we could really use your voice rn. it’s certainly not going to come from the 40k follower 100k following AI Elonia meme posting blue maga crowd
on monday the regime was going to revoke existing passports. yesterday they were going to allow all already-issued passports to remain valid til expiration. today it’s back to revocation. yet we’re called hysterical or wreckers for criticizing the politicians supporting these policies
Update: The State Department has once again changed the language back to saying transgender people's passports will be valid "until they are invalidated pursuant to federal regulations."

This is how fascism lives, everyone. Rehabilitate the "recoverable" fascists, and they can continue seeding their ideology and allow that festering wound on humanity to continue weeping. No, the tent I want to be part of does *not* allow fascists inside, reformed or otherwise. You cannot reform it.
Raskin: We are a big tent. We must be a huge, vast tent. I say this is a party that’s got room for Marjorie Taylor Greene if she wants to come over.

There has never been a moment Black and Brown communities haven’t been surveilled in the US.
That project is just being extended to the rest of the country after being tested in our neighborhoods.
There’s a reason why they call it the projects.

Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands.
Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame.
Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump.
Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.

The literature I cite when I tell people about this benefit says 2% reduction per 6 months of exclusive breastfeeding, if you were wondering.
“women who breastfed had more specialized immune T-cells in their breast tissue. Prof. Sherene Loi, a medical oncologist and the study's lead author, likened the cells to "local guards, ready to attack abnormal cells that might turn into cancer."
