Raytheon Executive: I know you’re skeptical about buying American again. But hear me out. The MIM-104 Patriot is the only surface to air missile system with a proven track record of success against the US Air Force. Danish Defense Minister: Continue.

my favorite thing about the barbarism that is the medical establishment's approach to trans healthcare is how they seem to think hormones are just at A Particular Level. no consideration for how hormones fluctuate or patient feeling, it is simply an arbitrary "that's too high; lower it" ad nauseam.

Me taking a load on my back

Mike Johnson introduced pretty much an identical bill in 2021, only got 38 cosponsors in the House. Does that guarantee it's dead? No. But it's not new bullshit

Truly astounding as a trans person to watch your community be told we're not worthy of consideration by Democrats on Monday, be told to be silent and grateful all of Tuesday, and by Wednesday an entire state has criminalized trans citizens' existence.

So this also counts UK / Germany / Japan cuts to ODA funding. That said, not all USAID went to ODA. And the same authors studied _just_ the USAID cuts and figure 14M (stat. 9-19M) excess deaths through 2030 just from the USAID cuts

Treated tens of thousands of patients, got 8 complaints about care. And of the 8, the majority were complaining that they feared treatment could be cut off. Cass + press pressure still forced them into closure.

i'm constantly looking for ways to make pghrt.diy better because i want to be the best but i find it quite odd to see Dedicated Haters who are mad about things opposite to what i say (literacy moment), that it isn't exactly to their taste (okay make your own), or about its mere existence (baffling).

Per the good book: ( www.cia.gov/static/5c875... )

Seeing like a State? Rotate 75 degrees around the vertical please

it turns out the real fault with the sisters of dorley hall is not that it is hyperbole to imagine a world in which british aristocrats specifically target trans women for sexual exploitation because we are women systematically disenfranchised, but that it assumes it's primarily british aristocrats.

single digit number of revelations like this before I break and just start muttering to myself in a dead language

“/pol/ was created after moot met with jeffrey epstein” is maybe the single most cursed true sentence I have ever had the displeasure of writing

I’m okay actually with every single person who ever emailed the guy to never being able to get a job again or be certain their food isn’t spat in

"moot is in the epstein files" is the completely true sentence that has finally convinced me this is all an extremely stupid simulation and that we're all being used to power a robot overlord's game gear or something

Leaving open the critical possibility of unity on humane internment camps, or possibly inhumane internment work farms.

real split in the transfem community is between those who've read incase's The Invitation before their transition and those who have not

Today we have an extended meditation on what constitutes a "crime of violence"

interested to learn what “at my direction” means because it sounds like “without a warrant”

To be fair to the Magistrate Judge, I do not believe it was the 375 page amended complaint that did it. On close read, it appears that it was the 720-paragraph, 946-page proposed second amended compliant.

If _Potter_ is the heights of liberalism, then so much the worse for liberalism. Ceterem autem censeo NYT et JKR delenda est.

anything can be considered a chicken sandwich if u fuck it hard enough

Presented as an example of a "bad sandwich" but it has all the components of a great sandwich: bread, meat, crunch, and remorse.

ZOHRAN THE GREATEST MAYOR IN THE NATION

Darkly amusing at how much less threatening the military is

if I can be a little cute about it: amateurs discuss opsec, professionals discuss threat models

they dont have the man power to force their will on us, they haven’t even demonstrated an ability to subdue the twin cities yet alone a larger city Their power relies on people gobbling up the slop and pretending a video shows something it doesnt. thats a fictional foundation that can shift quickly

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

"Kill and Slander." That's what @juliettekayyem.bsky.social is calling DHS approach on @cnn.com . I think that's dead on.

If you go looking for the video have tetris ready in another tab. It's _bad_
