On top of being a screenshot of a tweet, this post is spreading disinformation and you shouldn’t engage with it except to correct.

But since people are, I guess I need to do a thread explaining what imputation is. Everything I’m going to discuss here comes from one of two sources.

The FTC is seeking public comment about gender affirming care in order to go after providers and restrict access. Share your stories instead of how this care has helped you and how it is life saving.

We need to counteract their false narratives. Please share!

I think this is the most significant news of the day because it is an unambiguous announcement that there will be plenty of folks who want to take the fed down a trumpist path

Been reading about early #ColdWar #Finnish #intelligence #history and man, it’s _wild._

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.
