The Supreme Court concurrences are working on the false assumption that allowing transition care for trans teens will result in forced transitions for the actually cis kids of transphobic parents that they've imagined
Fuck

8. The weaponization of the “JDK” code is merely the latest in Trump’s attempts to disenfranchise trans people from all public life. “This was plunging the knife and twisting it to ensure that trans people would have no role in government ever again,” Alex said.

4. “This is the kind of code that they gave to homosexuals and communists in the '50s,” Alex said. “This is what you would give to people who have mishandled classified material or have made statements that make the government say, ‘We cannot trust this person to be anywhere near anything of value.”

3. It stands for “Juliet Delta Kilo,” a discharge code labelling someone a liability to national security. The designation shows up on job applications and government forms; it impacts a person’s ability to get jobs with a security clearance or even immigrate.

It’s funny because I’m sure these folks can grasp that a corrupt cop is still a cop. And a crooked politician is still a politician. And a cheating husband is still a husband. But tell them a “bad” Christian is still a Christian, and suddenly it’s not possible! Doesn’t exist!

Disabled advocates were saying well over a decade ago that where MAiD policies get expanded, disabled people get coerced into death. And we were called alarmists. Flash forward to now, and Canada IS very much doing that, and liberals choose to look away in favor of that hypothetical self with cancer

Even experienced activists must adjust their risk models.
"Sure I might get arrested but they'll be forced to drop the charges, because what I'm doing is First Amendment protected activity"
None of that matters. Your notoriety and standing in the community is no protection.
Sharpen your skills.

Are Republicans American?
Yes.
Are they practicing a form of Politics which is harmful, even evil?
Yes.
Does it make them "Fake Americans"? No.
Same for Greedy, hypocritical, Prosperity Gospel, hate-filled Christianity.
You may not like it, but it's so.
You can't wash your hands like Pilate

BTW the paper has a lot of interesting natural history and cultural info. G. ruricola is important in folklore and culture in Caribbean Colombia, and was featured on stamps in Cuba and (inaccurately) Tanzania and Uganda!
H. lateralis and H. quadratus can produce sound, but G. ruricola cannot!

A fun way to avoid accusations of radicalized bigotry is to avoid comparing *any* human to things like apes, bugs, vermin, or other non-human animals historically used in racist and offensive imagery and rhetoric
