I have no time for bullshit. Come into my feed and assert some massive opinion without reading what we are discussing and then tell me you have no time for the facts = block.

For the normal people in the room, you should probably know this shit is a hit with neo-Nazis. The 14-year old Groyper you know has more space in his head for circumcision conspiracies (all of which blame the Jews) than you have space in your head for your cousins' first names.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Obstacles in getting MHT have nothing to do with this study. Or with me as I have actively advocated for evidence based medicine in menopause for a very long time.

lol if you are a young pregnant American citizen in an ER you may not get the treatment you need and instead get sepsis because of forced birth Republican laws

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:

“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“

Watching the inevitable critics of Carney's performance with Trump today, I am reminded of the two bits of advice I used to give clients: Don't antagonize people who can inflict serious harm on you. Don't start fights with crazy people. There are other routes to success than confrontation. #cdnpoli

I suspect they spent some time coming up with exactly the right adjective. Trump is transforming the United States into a fascist regimen. So hey, transformative works.

No lies. He has been transformative…in the more shitty inhumane way.
What does Canada gain by speaking the unvarnished truth in this situation? Nothing.
