F*ck

In ‘Amazing’ Verdict, Jury Awards Transgender Woman Punitive Damages Against Suffolk County Jail The landmark decision could help other transgender people in jails and prisons who have been denied access to hormone treatment, a violation of their constitutional rights.

Thinking today about Jessica Sunderland, who won her civil rights case against a jail for denying her hormones, forcing her to detransition while incarcerated a decade ago. I met her and wrote about her case for @theappeal.org in December 2018:

My energy is somewhere between “I don’t wish ill for my political adversaries” and “I’ve got no fucks to give if he’s ill”.

Happy Holidays! 🤣🤣🤣

Napkin math. 6% actively endorsed P2025. Estimated 258,000,000 over 18. Approx 15.5 MILLION approve. More than the STATE of Penn a few less than the STATE of NY. That’s alarming, but more so because there are more firearms than people in this country and most are in the stockpiles of very few.

Trump's Little Johnson

And we NEVER will

Is Trump trying to kill us? Authoritarian expert says yes. Here’s how It sounds hyperbolic, but it's not

Follow if you agree.

You don’t bury an ethics report that would exonerate Trump’s pick.

Better here than there? We’ll see 🤔
