One of the craziest stories I've seen in a long time. If you think Trump and his administration are extreme and depraved, just wait until you learn about the young guns who are positioning themselves to take over the reigns in the next few decades

This is the guy the Dem establishment is so afraid of? Wish we had many more like him. Great response below from Katelyn that sums up how many of us feel about this video.

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:

UBI isn't just a cool concept, it's a necessity that needs to be implemented a lot sooner than people think. #UBI

Cardinal Timothy Dolan failed to report direct admissions of rape by multiple priests, lobbied against extending the statute of limitations for sex abuse, and moved money off the church books to hide it from victims of sex abuse. In case you were wondering.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan on Fox & Friends on Charlie Kirk: "This guy is a modern day St Paul. He was a missionary, he's an evangelist, he's a hero. He's one I think that knows what Jesus meant when he said 'the truth will set you free.'"

I'm a sucker for Marvel stuff, but canceled Disney+ and Hulu today. Should have weaned myself away earlier. To be clear, ABC made this happen, showing who they really value.

“There are days, this is one of them, when you wonder what your role is in this country and what your future is in it,” Baldwin said. “How precisely you’re going to reconcile yourself to your situation here and how you are going to communicate to the vast, heedless, unthinking, cruel white majority that you are here. I’m terrified at the moral apathy—the death of the heart—which is happening in my country. These people have deluded themselves for so long that they really don’t think I’m human."

There's already a draft policy to create a category of "transgender domestic terrorism" within the Trump administration. They could potentially classify all trans people as domestic extremists and terrorists just as Russia did.

"Text excerpt quoting Sebastian Gorka, deputy assistant to President Donald Trump and senior director for counterterrorism, stating that a new draft U.S. Counterterrorism plan addresses questions about a transgender domestic terrorism classification. The passage notes that the plan, referred to as Trump 2.0’s domestic counterterrorism plan, is being reviewed by cabinet members and principals, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, intelligence officials Tulsi Gabbard, John Radcliffe, Kash Patel, and Trump adviser Stephen Miller."

I think, in light of all the rotten people out there spreading terf nonsense, today would be a good day to support trans creators.

Trans folk, please add your links to this thread for books or crafts or whatever you do!

It's folk rock, but I learned a lot from the EDM producers on Youtube. It's on all the services, but here are links for youtube music and bandcamp. Also, new cover art in the works.

I put out an album in 2022 and did all the recording in Ableton. Happy to provide tips, though self exploration is pretty fun and Youtube is an ok teacher.

The first country to implement Universal Basic Income could be Malaysia
