A screenshot of a Facebook post where a person named Andy ask the Well now “What the hell is transgender?”
The Royal Canadian Air Force account response with “That’s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way, Andy.
‘Transgender’ putting describes someone whose gender – who they know themselves to be – doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth. It’s not new, and it’s certainly not a fad. People have lived this experience for as long as people have existed; we’re just finally talking about it openly.
You don’t have to fully understand it right away, most learning takes time, but we can always start from a place of respect. That’s how decent folks handle things they’re still getting used to.”
Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

Russia is not winning its war in Ukraine
But Steve Witkoff has agreed to treat them as a victor
It’s a long Russian con to make America complicit — and it makes America weak, and corrupt

30 bucks for 440 masks is obscenely cheap. Great as it’s getting colder out and flu and covid inevitably peak

Trump is giving illegal orders. It's not debatable. There is no justification for blowing fishing boats out of the water in the Caribbean on suspicion of drug smuggling. It's cold-blooded murder. Not war, not policing, murder.

Families are getting hit with rising healthcare premiums, record childcare costs, grocery bills that will not quit, crushing housing prices, and higher energy costs.
Johnson has no answers, no plans, and no interest in working in a bipartisan manner to fix anything.

After keeping House Republicans home for seven weeks, Mike Johnson had EVERY chance to come back with something that would lower costs for families.
He came back with nothing.

This administration is driving our economy off a cliff and trying to hide it from Americans.

Link by link: Hundreds of webpages cite pro-Russia Pravda network
ISD has built a free browser extension to help individuals recognise Pravda network sites, which hundreds of media outlets still treat as credible.
ISD is proud to release the Pravda Network Spotter, a browser extension designed to detect sites linked to a Russia-aligned information operation. This extension warns users when they come across one of the pages by turning the page red, though they can still interact w/ it & switch off the alert.

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.
He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.
Release the transcript.

Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble.
A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments.
We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

NYT headline: "Musk Is Back in Politics. Does He Want to Stay a While?"
Musk's "time away from politics" involved having Republicans completely revamp the 2021 infrastructure bill so that a huge swath of the $42.5 billion in taxpayer broadband grants are funneled to his company (and away from better options) in exchange for satellite service he already planned to offer

Election Officials Press Trump Administration Over Voter Data
“The Justice Department has embarked on an effort to compile the largest set of national voter roll data it has ever collected, to essentially establish a national voting database.”
I’m sure they have good intentions. 🤦♂️

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Jared Kushner advised Saudi Crown Prince MBS on how to “weather the storm” after his hit squad slaughtered American journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Fox News credulously reports that "the Saudis now say their investment pledge in the US will be increased to $1 trillion." THE ENTIRE GDP OF SAUDI ARABIA IS $1.1 TRILLION, so this is total nonsense.

Just over 24 years ago, Saudi Arabians flew jets into American buildings.
Then, their Crown Prince had a DC reporter murdered.
So, naturally, Trump is rewarding the country with more jets.

The Justice Department subpoenaed more than 20 doctors and hospitals that provide gender-related care to minors (including puberty suppressants, hormone therapy and surgeries) accusing them of having “mutilated children in the service of a warped ideology.” Trump had already issued a series of executive orders dismantling protections for trans people, banning them from military service and allowing open discrimination by federal workplaces. The subpoenas demanded patient information protected by privacy law.
Barbara Schwabauer, Civil Rights Division: It’s one thing to say we’re no longer going to stand up for trans people in this administration, we’re not going to file briefs in support of them. But to affirmatively go after them? I could not in good conscience continue to be a part of that. These are teenagers.
Attorney Barbara Schwabauer explains her decision to leave the Justice Department's Office of Civil Rights rather than comply with a Trump administration order to subpoena the medical records of transgender teens
