Toth is absolutely a psychotic fascist. He introduced a bill to make it a felony to be transgender. He also suggested involuntarily committing every trans person in Texas.
Absolute Aktion T4 level Nazi.
Same here. The restaurant where I worked closed for a while, then it was takeout-only until September 2020 (when I returned after not working since early March). Wouldβve preferred to *not* go back then, but had to spend 10k of my college tuition savings on ECT & couldnβt afford to go w/o revenue.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nationβs people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustnβt let this war do so.
Beyond being required by the U.S. Constitution, if you happen to think that war with Iran is so great, then why not publicly make the case and put it to a vote of the peopleβs elected representatives?

Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just todayβs news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way.

Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license.
They can't even escape this by moving to another state.
This is true in rougly the same sense that a guy on the subway reeking of urine, screaming, and waving a knife around is βfeared.β

It occurs as a comment on the 4thwavenow.com "About" page, posted on February 20, 2016 at 5:27pm, under the handle "skepticaltherapist." Shortly thereafter, 4thwavenow.com turned this comment into its own post, called... February 29, 2016: 4thwavenow.com publishes "Tumblr snags another girl, but her therapist-mom knows a thing or two about social contagion." As noted in the previous entry, this is skepticaltherapist's earlier comment, posted along with a brief intro from the folks at 4thwavenow. There are several potentially noteworthy things about it, and the comments that follow it: o It begins by referencing a Star Trek TNG episode in which the crew becomes addicted to an alien video game, then makes the following analogy: "The alien mind control device made its way into my home about two years ago when my then eleven-year-old daughter begged me for a Tumblr account since her friends all had one." o In the piece, skepticaltherapist describes herself as a psychotherapist, later adding, "As a therapist, I mostly work with adults."
precisely 10 years ago today, the concept of "transgender social contagion" was first invented on the now infamous anti-trans parent website 4thWaveNow. a full timeline of how the concept spread (not unlike a "social contagion") can be found here: juliaserano.blogspot.com/2019/02/orig...

ROFL!!!
Bartiromo's quote from MacGuineas was IN SUPPORT OF TRUMP'S TARIFFS.
Bessent trashed the quote because he assumed it was in opposition.
Bartiromo even tried to explain this to him and he still continued to trash her.
NONE OF THEM LISTEN TO ANYTHING THEY'RE SAYING.
Some day we'll all regret this & we'll hold hearings & rend garments & pledge "never again" & we'll be just as full of shit as we were last time.
