"The death of human empathy is one of the earliest and most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism."

Surreal being a trans person on this website this week. Every single one of my trans friends is making emergency preparations in case Trump bans our health care while fighting off existential dread and depression, and 99% of the cis people i follow seemingly have nothing to say about the trans EOs.

Let me assure everyone in the U.S. that you share far more in common with your trans and immigrant neighbors than with the billionaires that have seized control of our government.

Those are so cute!

😂 Not a gif, firstly. Secondly, I didn't "make" anything. I just went and looked up the numbers. These are the same numbers reported everywhere. You can check it yourself. That's called reality, baby.

I like to think I’d be tough to break during an interrogation, but also I will literally cry if I accidentally think about what a good boy my dog is too hard so honestly idk

Lol, no matter how many dreams you have, doesn't make your "claims" reality.

"You people" "mental disability" The rallying cries of bigots everywhere. If you approach your family member the same way you have approached us here, I understand why they are upset. You don't understand something, so you are lashing out.

Maybe stop sharing stuff you don't mean. You certainly didn't choose empathy, diversity, equality, or love here. You chose to spew hatred, bigotry, and ignorance.

Oh, clearly are fine with the lgbtq+ community. Funny how you all start out with, "I'm fine with it. I just don't want to see it" & then end with full on transphobia and bigotry.

Honestly, I hope your family member sees what you have said here. They deserve to know the hate that's in your heart.

By "7 million"? Lol, I may have dyscalculia, but even for me, that math ain't mathing.

And to paraphrase Malcolm Reynolds, I may have been the losing side, but I'm still not convinced it was the wrong one. Lots of terrible leaders have won elections. This isn't the own you think it is.

The only known smallpox reservoir is humans (meaning an outbreak has never been linked to animals or other sources), so a massive vaccine program was able to eradicate it in the 1970s. Currently, the only known sources are in high security labs where they study communicable diseases.
