The Crank Report didn't even conclude that puberty blockers should be banned. It was an ideological exercise seeking rationale for predetermined conclusions and even then the Gender-Conservative movement has to keep lying about its contents to fuel their nonsense.

19 is "kids" here, so I'm guessing that its overwhelmingly white people who are doing this

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

Reminder that The Economist largely caters to Republican demographics, as well as Democratic pundits.

This headline is an attempt to impose Newsom onto us, whether we want him there or not. Just how Newsom likes it.

"he has bills to pay" is just liberal repackaging of "just following orders" and libs should [REDACTED]

Payment processors are all in on this, make sure to call them about it today! Better yet, call them every day for *weeks* to make sure you fully understand their decision to allow betting on how many children the US military will kill today! Be very polite, of course! You're just curious!

It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim β€œadult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer.

In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)

B-b-but you *have* to give Platner power! He's changed! It's hateful to *not* endorse him!!!

lol, sure. The callout of his Nazi tattoo was correct, he hasn't changed, he's just got a media team working overtime to try to make it seem like he's not complete shit.

Being trans in the US is like being in a hostage situation AS the hostage, and the negotiator is negotiating with YOU and getting frustrated that you are adamant about not wanting to die

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

Minor nitpick but...

it's "kitchen table issues" not "tabletop issues"

And we're supposed to believe he's not taking cues from solely focus groups? This man is not "culturally normal" whatever that is even supposed to entail

Either force him to recount large parts of ehat he's said, or commit to dropping Newsom *BEFORE THE FUCKING PRIMARY HAS EVEN BEGUN*. I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH - THE PRIMARY HAS NOT STARTED. YOU CAN AND SHOULD CHOOSE SOMEONE ELSE.

Yeah, that's right. Cali voted to fund solutions for tackling homelessness. Newsom is stopping the funds from being distributed. The same thing I remember some liberals being very frustrated about when Trump was the one doing it like a month ago. Where's the smoke for Newsom?

You can talk about the positive things he's done all you want, but it's the negative things that is damning him. His iron pen has exacerbated the housing situation in Cali, despite the taxes already being collected by the passed ballot initiative.

The man is an amoral monster who will get rid of someone's mother's ashes for a fucking photo-op. If whatever poll he is looking at says to harm you in a material way, he'll do it.

He's doing that here to trans people. You think you're any different than us in his eyes?

It'd be one thing if he actually would make things materially better for people, but he just won't. He's trashed homeless people's possessions with a gleeful smile on his face at a press event he called because he thought he'd look cool.

"No, we won't be talking about how the other party keeps punching random trans people in the face, sometimes even killing them. That's normal. What isn't normal is all this *discussion* we're having about it!"

Find someone else. Newsom is too toxic to win. You have two fucking years.

"Newsom has a good record, who cares if he made a rhetorical slip [about trans people, kids in particular, and segregating us]?"

Oh? Let me go check his record on this.

Mhm, mhm. Oh dear. Are you sure this is the argument you want to make to get trans people to go all in on a candidate?

Promising headline that completely overstates what is expressed in the actual text

Discord's response can be summed up to saying they're aware of the ethical and security problems, but they're not doing anything of substance to protect or respect users, and will make zero substantial policy changes

"I can write a book in [a few days] and it takes you months to put one out. Who's winning this race?"

Yeah, I'll stick with the thing that can actually count 1 to 100. My brain.

americans talk a lot of shit about "social credit score" despite living in the country that invented the concept and spent the last 3 decades using it to help banks be more lowkey about being racist
