I've been saying this shit for years now and I still get pushback, even from other trans people. Putting gender markers on ID forms deputizes those validating a person's identity as the judge of whether that person is correctly performing their gender. What other purpose could it serve?

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

the American opioid crisis is almost entirely the work of Purdue Pharmaceuticals and the Sackler family of murderous profiteers, but because Americans can't imagine anything being their fault, we've invaded Venezuela over it

The one time we got the smoking gun of undeniable ideology that mapped neatly onto american partisanship in political violence was J6, and we decided it was too scary to treat it as such, so now we return to deciphering memes of school shooters like medieval peasants panicking at an eclipse.

People can be very rude here but the fringe left does not pose anywhere near the threat of the fringe right. Children's hospitals have closed and politicians have been physically attacked due to Twitter agitation. This is an extremely basic fact about a topic that is allegedly your area of expertise

All moocher states. The West Virginia governor said he expects the federal government to pay for the deployment. Which means some Democratic states (who did not vote for Trump) will be paying for a photo-op that is meant to hurt the image of a Democratic place.

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.

no one in two years is going to say "but MGP voted to censure all green". no one. with all the insanity that will take place between now and then, no one on either side is going to care. so this is just a moral failing on her part.

Not really a lot of putting the different pieces of the puzzle together. But across all of HHS, centered especially at nih and nci you’ve got a ton of different actions all of which seem to have the common goal of making certain there’s never a new cancer drug or cure again ever.

All of Musk's and Trump's actions center down on cutting as much funding for cancer research as possible. Whether it's the research grants, gutting the places that do the research. The biggest moves Musk & Co have made are about cutting research for cancer cures.
