"Here, it's different " Different care for different people

You can have more, while everyone else has enough. These corporations are greedy. You can HAVE your fucking yacht if i can have fucking Healthcare. But you want EVERYTHING and thats fucked up.

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it. It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

Learning to take my time instead of rushing to be done.
