The Democrats should be coming out strong saying this is illegal, β€œjust following orders” is not a defence, and everyone involved will be prosecuted and go to jail.

It’s interesting that discussions of GLP-1s always talk about problems β€œwhen stopping the medication”.

I’ve kept mine, but changed the password to something I don’t know.

Maybe one day Twitter will rise again, and it guards against someone pretending to be me.

True, but there are some absolutely cracking jokes* there, and it might get sold to some non-fascists and be less cesspooly in the future.
