Pardon my ignorance, but my brief search online yielded no digestible results. What exactly is a "Censure" and what does it mean if they Censure them?

Canada really needs to let America sit in this stupid trade war for a while before ever agreeing to do anything for Trump. Its been a single day and Trump is already willing to end the tariffs if Canada shows efforts to stop fentanyl? What a joke. Let Trump reap what he sows.

A brief overview of SNAP and those who seek to restrict it further Food and water; It goes without saying, we as people need food and water, not only to survive, but to thrive. A diverse diet of foods keep our society alive and well, if we as people do not have food,...

New article dropped last night, this time I talk about SNAP benefits and how congress is trying to make those who are dependent on the program miserable. middle-of-the-marina.ghost.io/a-brief-over...

Something to watch for in all these town halls across the US with angry people wanting answers... Look for tone policing, an ad hominem fallacy that tried to discredit their arguments because they are angry. This is a staple of dismissive politicians when answering to people who are rightfully upset

Middle of the Marina Finding time to discuss things of otter importance

Just an FYI, I started my own publication! Its called "Marina in the Middle". I plan on talking about trans rights, social services, and other topics too. I hope to post weekly, my first one is out now, focused on trans bathroom bans and what we can do #transrights

Its almost entirely because of the way our bathrooms are designed. Its a systemic issue that only exists because we are so dead set on keeping the norms of men's and women's restrooms. The only places that have any of these bathrooms are new buildings that are built in blue cities. (mostly)

Solving the transgender bathroom debate might change how we design public restrooms For the majority of people, using a public restroom is as mundane and forgettable as putting on your shoes; for transgender people, it tends to be a daily test of courage. Most cisgender people wont ...

I really hope to foster positive changes for the future, rather than let trans people get forced out of society. middle-of-the-marina.ghost.io/solving-the-...

What a beautiful thing that SNAP works on sushi. I think the big wigs who hate "handouts" are already on their way to make that no longer the case. I had an idea of operating a restaurant that sells delicious meal kits and, as a generous act, offer to cook it for free. I bet that would be SNAPable 😘

Just felt the full force of an ex-friends evangelical rant about being led by Satan because I'm trans.

Turns out following my heart and learning to accept myself is a no-no.

Nothing makes me feel more right in my decision than to be labeled an abomination and immoral affront to God's image. πŸ˜’

What a disgusting world we live in where the department of state can just outright deny your passport application for basically no reason. That is a trans travel ban, 100%. Theres no other way to phrase it. We are unable to leave the country full stop.

Were the health sites content restored per the judge order? I'm not seeing any information on if he defied their order or not.

Are we talking exclusively voter suppression or physically flipped or modified ballots? Voter suppression has been a big problem for years, It wont be enough to reverse an election. However if there is proof of tampering with ballots, I would be more inclined to check your sources.

I saw the Kanye ad yesterday (it aired in the Philly market, where we were) but didn't click on the link.

Today I found out it went to a website selling swastika T-shirts.

This was a Superbowl ad.

And it was to a website selling swastika T-shirts.

I feel like I'm losing my mind.
