The blockade of Venezuela is a disgusting echo of U.S. imperialism in Latin America. We were lied to about Iraq and WMDs, and an entire generation paid the price.
Here we are again.

i am very exhausted by disinformation about the cost of transition healthcare. it costs less than $100 for 1-2 years of hormones, depending on your exact sourcing. presenting HRT as impossibly expensive and inaccessible to people who need HRT but don't know how is equivalent to medical gatekeeping.
In 10th grade my history teacher was going over the coming midterm and, as a goof, i asked him if i still had to take the test if i threw up on it. he sighed, leaned back on his desk, took off his glasses, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and said: "Michael, you can't throw up your way through life."
