Perfect!

In Wyoming, the legislature has decided, that you cannot require others to address you by your preferred pronouns — thinking that this will only hurt trans people, Trump wants to persecute.

So citizen Britt Boril calls in to a committee meeting and deliberately misgenders the male chairman as madam, which he takes offence to — because our rule about allowing disrespect was not meant to be used against us!

(And no, you should never misgenders others, but damn… this move was brilliant)

Chemists often complain the public mistakenly thinks chemicals=evil

But when you see the self-described "chemical industry" fighting reasonable regulation of 1000s of substances they make but don't explain to the public, many of which *do* spread invisibly and cause harm, I think this is on them.

I hear so many voicing concerns over Trump policies, saying "they haven't thought it through", "it will have negative consequences", "so many people will get hurt", etc.

It is the other way around:

They have thought it through, and the cruelty is not an unforeseen side effect — it is the objective.

You do not round up 238 Venezuelans, deport them to a foreign prison facility and shave them bold on camera by accident.

You do so too spread fear.

Reminder: Cloudflare is a Nazi company and under no circumstances do you "have to hand it to them".

COVID, flu, measles, and all airborne viruses can seriously harm anyone, not just people who are immunocompromised. EVERYONE has a medical reason to wear a mask at any time and in any place.

This was an all-timer. A perfect rebuttal of Effective Altruism and Roko’s basilisk

#Americans should know what most Mexicans and Colombians already do: the drug #cartels are operated from the USA.

A bunch of journalists, Anabel Hernández, José Restrepo, Guillermo Sherer, Carlos Fazio, have done research on the cartels, and all them have reached the point where it's the Mexican government, Army and Navy the ones that operate the cartels, either directly or by omission. But it doesn't end there.

Do you know that when Chinese citizens travel to US for business or academic visits, many used to hide/delete social media apps when entering borders? Because they were facing the exact same threats as you do today.

Same for pre-flight checks, Chinese are among those who had to go through a full body search like Middle Easterners.

These bullshit were already there in US, they just weren’t evenly distributed.

I like how it’s east coast crab season and all our major export markets have applied large tariffs and I still can’t buy decent product here at any price.
