how fucking gross on top of being completely negligent.
"It's your fault if you let our product talk you into offing yourself," is some peak orphan crushing machine BS.

transphobia is an uncrossable line.
Nah. Transphobia is a hard line. The base hates transphobia, and if you want an example of an actual elite obsession that's broadly unpopular with regular schmucks, anti-trans bullshit is it.
Pete Buttigieg would be a good DNC spokesperson.

Nov 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- Reps privately push ban on trans care in ACA/Obamacare as part of moving any subsidy deal forward. It was stripped from the last ACA deal. This one would hurt perhaps 500k trans ppl among the 20m who need Obamacare subsidies. Even blue states would be impacted.

"Uncommon phrases" by "anarchist extremists"? Count in thousands of people from my friends list, then.

Published in 2022, even under Biden they were doing this shit. Look at this stuff again if you didn't pay attention. These ideas are threats to power.
