Yeah I had to reassure some people too. It's just unnecessary right now. There's enough stress without adding to it.

This is freaking people out on Facebook and spreading hysteria. I mean, there's plenty of legit things to be hysterical about, so I kinda wish people didn't do stuff like this to add unnecessary fuel to the fire.

And what does she think about suggesting lethal injections for homeless people on national television? <sarcasm>

Is it normal for the FBI to be involved like that? I mean, not that they're arresting a senator, but why are they there in the first place? Shouldn't security be provided by local law enforcement?

I prefer to think about it as Pope Francis hanging on just long enough to teach Vance a lesson.

I've always liked to think of it as "lean" government, not "small". In the modern world small government is a myth. Air quality, water quality, food and medical device safety, public health - all these things cannot be handled at state level. But you can make a federal government lean and efficient.

These are my staple eye drops. I buy them in bulk at Costco whenever I'm in the US or get mum to ship them to me.

Uh, Brian, Brian. Your Boston is showing.

Also, FAHK HIM.

Welcome!

Thank you.

How do you check your status? Wondering about my mom.

The Greens only have 3 seats in the Norwegian Parliament. Apparently about 10 people a year in Noway obtain asylum based on sexual orientation. I am not sure this is as big a move as people want to make it out to be. I think it's more a declaration of support rather than any solid legislative move.

How about this one... www.bbc.com/news/article...

Is it this one? It sounds like a "resolution" might be a party statement, not a legislative bill. The devil is in the details and this was translated by Google. trans-express.lgbt/post/7800590...

So it might still be misleading information, but I can see where it might have come from.

2/ However I can't tell without further research if she's a member of local or national government, and if a "resolution" is just a party statement of belief or an actual piece of proposed legislation. Two different things.

1/ I don't think this is entirely false actually. I found this, which is a link to a Norwegian article translated by Google. I would be leery of potential mistranslation but what I draw from this is her party, the Greens, are broadly supportive of the notion of asylum for trans people.
